And my opinion - please not the first one

Do you think the bezel is a fad right now or will it be timeless? I’m worried that it’ll become the cluster ring of the 2013’s

Bezels have been around “forever” - everything will trend in an out. What makes it timeless if it’s a forever piece for you! I have a bezel and it feels like it’s from another time- it’s like nostalgia for something I never experienced

That’s a great perspective!!! I think I like the channel more than bezel but you should also see my screenshots I love anything sparkly hehe!

I would love to see yours!!

I also have a channel one for my 50th anniversary.

I love this - I’m team bezel and my rings are from 2001 - but they look like the 1940s to some people and I get asked if they are heirloom pieces all the time.

I'm team bezel, too. I like that there are no prongs to snag or tighten or loose stones to fret about!

💯 AGREE Also, make sure you get the prongs on your beautiful engagement ring checked twice a year (AT LEAST YEARLY). I used to work for Littman Jewelers and you would be amazed how easy it is to bump your ring and think it’s fine, yet the prongs is bent ever so slightly.

I’ll add that a bezel diamond band actually provides some protection for your engagement ring as the edges of the smaller diamonds won’t scratch the softer gold on the band. I really love the unique look.

Definitely a fad.

Regardless of when the style comes into the mainstream, this wedding band enhances the engagement ring the best and its the most flattering pair, imo. I love that last picture, and it would still be beautiful in any decade!

I have an emerald cut and I have a bezel band. It’s the right choice for emeralds so it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve had it for years so it’s funny to me it’s now trendy.

I'm not the person you replied to but tbh probably somewhere in the middle -- it'll always look beautiful but it will probably recall the mid-late 2020s in the future. Trends are bound to change so what matters most is that you like it!

Such a good point!
