As well as preventing future damage, this setting also accounts for any chips or nips the stone might already have. Any damage to the sides of the stone will be nicely concealed within a bezel setting, creating the illusion of a perfect gem.

Finally, if you plan to wear your jewellery on a daily basis, the bezel setting accommodates an active lifestyle. It is far less likely to get caught on clothes or hair- yet another worry that you needn’t consider with this setting!

Of course, aesthetics are of the utmost importance too. The bezel setting lends itself nicely to more modern jewellery. It is neat, sleek and sophisticated, paired wonderfully with white gold and diamonds.
