The king of solidity in the world of inlay – bezel setting
what is bezel set?
A bezel setting is one in which the girdle of a gemstone is encircled by pushing down on a raised metal bezel.
The traditional bezel setting consists of two main parts, the bottom lining and the raised metal edge.
The bottom lining serves to hold up the gemstone, while the raised metal edge encloses the gemstone.
Because the exposed portion of the stone is reduced and very firm, bezel setting is a more commonly used setting method.
Bezel setting can be used not only on the main stone, but also on the secondary stone, the matching stone, and even on the claw. This makes it very practical.

Also suitable for girdle-shaped irregular gemstone setting, it is the most stable setting method, and difficult to modify the inlay deformation.

And the translucency is relatively weak, which is not conducive to transparent gemstone setting.
