Choosing an Engagement Ring
When shopping for an engagement ring you naturally want to impress your fiance and her family with the most dazzling stone you can find. You can create the illusion that the diamond is bigger than it actually is by selecting a diamond in a bezel setting.
“Choose a diamond in a bezel setting, where a rim totally encircles the stone. White gold or platinum will blend with and enhance a white diamond, making it appear larger. A yellow gold bezel setting can throw a yellowish tint back onto the diamond.
A bezel setting has a metal rim that encircles the sides of a gemstone and extends slightly above it. The rim, or collar, can stretch around the gem’s entire circumference or around only a portion of it. A bezel setting holds a gemstone securely, and the low, protective profile it creates makes a bezel setting a good choice for people with active lifestyles. A bezel setting can also be used to cover chips in a gem.”
