The bezel is one of the most secure ring settings. The gem is anchored in place with a metal border instead of raised on prongs. Because there’s less risk of the stone being scratched or falling out, the bezel setting is an excellent choice for an engagement ring. While more expensive than prong-set rings, bezel engagement rings don’t require as much upkeep. That is because there are no claws that need to be checked or tightened as time goes on. However, less light will be able to penetrate the center stone so it may also appear smaller.
