Solitaire, halo, pavé—there are so many engagement ring terms to get familiar with. Let us introduce you to a certain setting detail that has been dominating our ring circuit all season: a bezel setting.
If the word “bezel” isn’t already dominating your Pinterest board, it’s only a matter of time before you fall in love with its unique look. This style is adorning the fingers of 2024 brides and is impossible to miss.
Here’s everything you need to know about a bezel setting:

What is a Bezel Setting?
Many things can define an engagement ring, but three factors supersede the rest: stone type, stone shape/cut, and setting style. A ring’s setting defines how its materials join together and sit on the wearer’s finger.
Enter “bezel”—a bezel setting refers to a continuous rim of metal around the ring’s stone. The metal slightly overlaps the stone’s edges to secure it in place and accentuate its unique details. Perfect for busy hands, a bezel setting is protective and durable. It can add a vintage look, or appear clean and minimal.

Where Do I Find a Bezel Ring?
A “bezel” is a classic jewelry setting with origins dating back to Ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire. Because of its long history and popularity, this style is prevalent in engagement rings worldwide.
If you want a timeless look with emphasis on your diamond, consider a classic bezel solitaire. Or perhaps you’re looking for a vintage look and want a chunky gold ring. Whatever your preference, specialty jewelers are always experimenting with bezel settings. You will find something unique if you look in the right place.
