Smooth metal follows the outline of the centre stone in Contour. Wharton Design's bezel-set engagement rings offer a clean, sculptural alternative to claws, with softly shaped settings that make the diamond and its surrounding metal part of one considered design.

What is a bezel setting on a Contour ring?

A bezel holds the stone with a rim of metal that follows its outline, rather than separate projecting claws. In Contour, that rim is part of the design: it gives the ring its smooth silhouette and frames the stone. The depth and openness of the setting differ between pieces, so a side view is useful.
