Bezel

Although the bezel setting is one that has been used for many generations, as of late it has also become a setting popular for those who like a more minimal and modern look. A bezel setting consists of a metal frame completely wrapped around the edge of the center stone and holding it in place. Many opt for this minimal setting because unlike prong set stones, a bezel setting is less likely to catch on clothing or become loose. If you live a more active lifestyle, a bezel setting is a great way to keep your precious stones secure.
