Gives the ring a more modern and smooth look. It's our clean and innovative way to use less prongs and make a ring look professional.
For rings with multiple diamonds, it's best to use half moon bezels on the side stones and keep the center stone in prongs. This creates a good mixture in height of side vs center stones.
Your jewelry professional will guide you on how we can use half moon bezels based on the proportions and ratio of your stones.
For rings in platinum with one center stone: a halfmoon bezel is simply style choice: platinum prongs are strong enough to hold the stone in place.
For rings in yellow gold with one center stone: if you choose yellow gold for the head, then half moon bezels are strongly recommended to secure your stone. The other options are platinum prongs, or thicker yellow gold prongs.
We repair thousands of rings each year from other jewelers with loose or missing stones/and prongs issues because of lack of attention to detail and poor quality prongs.
