A bezel is a strip of metal bent into the shape and size of the stone and then soldered to the piece of jewelry. Then the stone is inserted into the bezel and the metal rubbed over the stone, holding it in place. This method works well for either cabochon or faceted stones. One advantage of the bezel setting as compared to the prong setting is that the diamond is better protected from accidental rubbing or blows, and is less likely to allow the diamond to scratch or mar something it comes in contact with. The bezel setting is also more secure, so the diamond is less likely to be dislodged by the wearer’s activity. channel pave © 2016 Xomox Jewelry Inc. All rights reserved.

If you have stones that move, fell out, or chipped don’t hesitate to use our professional services. Ring Resizing Adjusting the ring size is a very common process. Sizing is most often used to increase ring size rather than decrease the size and create a snug fit, but worry not XOMOX offers both of the adjustments. Since the process of having a ring resized is best left to a professional who is familiar with jewelry and the composition of metals that are commonly used to create the settings and bodies for various types of rings, XOMOX is the right place to get it done.
