The rim, or collar, can stretch around the gem&#39;s entire circumferance or around only a portion of it. A bezel setting holds a gemstone securely, and the low, protective profile it creates makes a bezel setting a good choice for people with active lifestyles. A bezel setting can also be used to cover chips in a gem.<h3>More About Bezel Settings</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.thespruce.com/fine-jewelry-4139866" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="2" rel="nofollow">Photos of bezel set diamonds</a></li></ul>.
