This low-profile setting can be of two types: partial and full
bezel setting. Two factors that differentiate a full
bezel set diamond engagement ring to one that features partial
bezel setting are visibility and safety. As the name implies, a full
bezel setting encircles the
centerpiece diamond’s edges. An advantage of choosing a
wedding band with this
bezel set is that since the metal
band fully encircles the
center stone, the most vulnerable part of the
ring is well protected against friction or accidental hits.
That explains why people with an active lifestyle prefer full
bezel set diamond engagement ring. One of the drawbacks of this setting is that as a major part of the
center stone remains concealed and only its top is visible, it limits the light from entering the
diamond, thereby reducing its brilliance.
Partial
bezel setting surrounds only a part of the edges of a
diamond, each of
which encircles around one-fourth the
center stone’s circumference. Thus, a partial
bezel leaves more portions of the
centerpiece diamond visible. They offer some amount of safety, although not as well as a full
bezel setting, but are a good option if you wanted to flaunt as much as sparkle of the
center stone as possible.
