Half Bezel Engagement Rings

Half bezel engagement rings, protected on two sides, open on two.

A half bezel holds the diamond in a thin rim of metal on two sides and leaves the other two open, so more light gets in than with a full bezel. Ours come in seven shapes, from $1,499 CAD for the setting or $3,250 CAD with a 2 carat lab grown diamond.

Half bezel or full bezel

A full bezel goes all the way round, so every edge of the stone sits inside metal and nothing can snag. A half bezel covers two sides, so those edges sit inside metal, and leaves the other two open so the diamond takes in more light.

We keep our bezels thin, so the stone keeps its full outline. The full comparison is in bezel engagement ring pros and cons. Bezels come on a split shank too, from the same $1,499 CAD for the setting: see split shank engagement rings. For a ring that sits closer to the finger, our emerald half bezel is one of our low profile engagement rings.

With a hidden halo underneath

Our half bezel with a hidden halo adds a row of small diamonds under the stone that shows only from the side. Our oval version is mid profile, so the diamond sits just above the band and a wedding band stacks flush. It comes in oval, round, emerald, radiant, cushion, marquise and pear, from $1,499 CAD for the setting in 14K gold. Every bezel ring we list is in bezel engagement rings.

A canvas for engraving

The edge of a half bezel is smooth, which makes it a good place to carve. On Riley and Tyler's Dutch marquise the engraving runs around the half bezel, then carries through the gallery rail and the bridge, with milgrain along the top of the band. See every style on hand engraving.
