What Is a Bezel Set Wedding Band?
In a bezel set band, each diamond sits inside a thin collar of metal that is pressed around its edge and polished flush, instead of being held by prongs. Nothing stands up from the surface, so the band slides under a sleeve or a glove without snagging. The edge of each stone is protected where a diamond is most likely to chip, and the ring cleans with a soft brush. The rims add a little metal between the stones, which gives a bezel band its rhythm of diamond, gold, diamond.
Bezel Wedding Band Styles
Oval bezel eternity bands come in 1, 2 and 3 carat total weights, with oval bezel half eternity bands at 0.50 and 2 carats. Emerald-cut bezel eternity bands come in 2 and 3 carats, and emerald-cut bezel half eternity bands in 1 and 1.5 carats. The east-west styles turn each stone sideways along the finger: an east-west oval bezel band as a full eternity (1.8 carats) or half eternity (2 carats), an east-west marquise bezel eternity band (0.75 carats) and an east-west emerald-cut bezel eternity band (3.5 carats). Every style is made in 14k yellow or white gold.
Pairing a Bezel Band with Your Engagement Ring
A bezel band is the obvious match for a bezel engagement ring, where the rims repeat the look of the center setting. It pairs just as well with prong-set solitaires and hidden halos, where the smooth band keeps the stack from looking busy. Because the rims sit low, bezel bands stack flush beside every Clairamor design except the floral accent, bypass, low profile and rounded tapered band rings, which take a curved wedding band. Our guide to full, half and faux bezels compares the rim styles.
