Half Bezel Setting
The round brilliant cut diamond in the center of this ring is beautifully displayed in the half bezel setting that cradles it on either side. This leaves the top and bottom open to light, and it provides a clear view of the diamond from both ring fronts. That arrangement keeps the profile of the ring relatively low, and it also helps highlight the perfect shape of the stone at the center. Diamond Engagement Rings
This diamond is the only gemstone in the ring, making it a solitaire design. That is one of the more traditional choices when it comes to engagement rings, but as you can see, there are many ways to incorporate different features and styles into a solitaire piece to help you get exactly the look you’re after.

Knife Edge Shank
The flat, nearly-straight sides of the bezel setting smoothly blend into the knife edge shank below. This band is widest and thickest at the top, and it narrows very slightly in both directions on the way down the sides. The knife edge design features a crest in the middle of the shank, with sides that slant down towards the finger on either side. The crest in this particular piece is not terribly sharp, but it still adds the dramatic and contemporary flair that is the hallmark of the knife edge design.
