Diamond Bezel

Etymology states that the word “bezel” is probably derived from the 17th Century dialectal French word “biseau”. Today we use this word to describe a method by which gemstones can be affixed to jewellery, such as watches. This process is often referred to as bezel setting. In it’s most simple terms a diamond bezel is one where a piece of metal is created to be the same dimensions as the stone which is to be affixed and then soldered to the jewellery. The diamond can then be sat in its bezel whereupon the edges are curled over and pressed down to secure the gem in place.

A diamond bezel setting is often used in the production of jewellery because of its protective qualities; accidental damage caused by friction or knocks is reduced because of the way the bezel sits around the stone. This protects the jewel and the surface against which it may have been knocked.

Of course in respect to watches the bezel refers to the ring which surrounds the watch face. Many people decide to replace their old bezel either because general wear and tear has taken its toll on the finish of the original one, or sometimes because they fancy a change of face. It is possible, for example, to purchase a diamond bezel for the model, where the original was perhaps a more simple gold, silver or platinum finish with no gemstones.

Looks aren’t everything, but they play a big part in why people choose a brand such as Rolex, Omega or Cartier, so having the ability to reinvigorate an old diamond bezel with a new one is useful to some owners.
