Hi! I am currently shopping around for the perfect e-ring...the only thing i know for sure is that i prefer a bezel or a ring with no prongs (i don,t like rings with a lot of height) Can anyone help me? Show me what you've got!!!

I feel the same way. Maybe you want to check out a tension setting as well???? I was sure I didn't want claws, but I didn't want to encase my diamond in a full bezel (I love to look at it throught the side!) so I went with a half bezel. I am really glad I did. It feels safe:)

This is my favourite bezel in the whole world. I'm trying to post a picture for the first time in my life, so bear with me. It is by Linda Penwarden (Toronto jewellery designer).

Here's a favourite of many Canadians. It is from the Birks Blue collection (Birks is a high end Canadian jeweller). The little surprise stone is a sapphire.

Wow Daniela, I am loving that brushed white gold bezel beauty!!!!! OEC center right? I always thought I was a "step-cut only" girl but that pinwheel effect on OEC's is just hypnotizing ... on KittenKat's cotton candy halo too. OH MY!

I don't know a lot about the older cuts, but I just thought that one was a run of the mill modern round? It might even be a cz for all I know, as she seems to use them sometimes in her display settings. Anyway, the effect is definitely beautiful!

Sholdt Design They make some gorgeous bezel designs, very fluid. Their work looks very fine as well, polish looks excellent. Take a look. Scintillating....

The bezel design widget put up is from: Karina Mattei Boston Mass. Karina's Website - very limited info and pictures I posted it a while back under another psuedonym.  Scintillating... Edit***  Widget you beat me to it.

Date: 8/11/2005 9:40:07 AM Author:Persephone ...the only thing i know for sure is that i prefer a bezel or a ring with no prongs (i don,t like rings with a lot of height) Justwanted to remind of the lighter version of bezel settings which use a frame around the girdle to hold the stone and leave much of the pavilion in the open. Like these:  ....from Diamondsbylauren above and Estatediamndjewelry below: And the empty space around the pavilion leaves room for quite a bit of imagineation In a modern style, Etienne Perret does some wonderful bezel settings (see his website here). I like bezels too, and have a reasonably long list of designers on my computer at home (not here, unfortunately). Of what I can remember, Ron Davidson (LINK) makes some interesting bezels: And these are made by Willian Richey There allot more that can and has been done with the good old bezel idea. And prong settings can be very low too - as low as bezels, if height is what matters. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian] |

That's a great link, Val! Hope you don't mind me adding this ring from the Ron Davidson site. I haven't seen anything quite like it before.

Okay you made me do it. Here are my two bezel set rings again. The top one has straight bezels, the bottom one has round semi-bezels around each of the three stones. I love bezel settings!!!

Wow! Had an internet glitch this afternoon and couldn't get back on the board  But now that i'm upo and running...i can't believe this great responses! It's so nice to see that there are so many options. I was feeling a bit discouraged for a while... I was also wondering what you would think of a diamond put into something like a Cartier Tank??? I'm exploring ALL my "prong-less" options!!! I'm also open to suggestions!

Date: 8/11/2005 6:34:39 PM Author: Persephone I was also wondering what you would think of a diamond put into something like a Cartier Tank? Great! Hardly anything better, IMO There is one just like that on this site. The relevant design is called 'Sophia' (see below). Their version is signed, but thisis one of those designs that keep comming back since the beginning of time, so I would thin most jewelers can make you one following your precise prefferences. This is something else... A lighter interpretation looks like this:  Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian] |

Here's my semi-bezel. I'm still not entirely happy with one side of the bezel, but may never get around to seeing if it can be fixed up. This is pretty much the Tiffany Etoile kind of style. The diamond is 1.22ct, just under 7mm diameter. The e-ring band is 5mm wide, the wedding band 4mm wide. I wear gloves all the time at work and am pretty clumsy with my hands, so I wanted something really low-set too. So far I still love my choice, and I like the little gap between the two rings too. Good luck with the shopping! |
