When choosing an engagement ring, the diamond and setting should work in harmony. At Faire & Fine, we specialise in creating bezel set engagement rings with lab grown diamonds—crafted in London’s historic Hatton Garden. Combining security, style, and sustainability, a bezel set design (also known as a rub-over setting) perfectly complements lab grown diamonds of every cut, from elongated cushion to pear and emerald.
Each engagement ring we make is designed around your chosen diamond using our stone-first approach. Whether you prefer platinum, yellow gold, or rose gold, every bezel set engagement ring is made bespoke to you.

What is a Bezel Set Engagement Ring?
A bezel set engagement ring secures the diamond with a rim of metal that fully or partially surrounds the edges of the stone. This makes it one of the most secure and contemporary settings available, ideal for showcasing sustainable lab grown diamonds.
For instance, our Emerald Cut Rub-Over Engagement Ring and Pear Shaped Rub-Over Bezel Set Engagement Ring show how versatile this style is across diamond shapes.
You can also explore our wider unique engagement rings collection to see more bezel and rub-over designs.
Why Choose Lab Grown Diamonds for Your Bezel Engagement Ring?
Lab grown diamonds offer the same brilliance, durability, and sparkle as mined diamonds but with greater transparency and lower environmental impact. For bezel settings, lab grown diamonds are especially appealing, they allow you to maximise carat size and cut quality without compromising on ethics or budget.
Are Bezel Engagement Rings More Expensive?
Bezel settings may cost slightly more than prong settings because they require additional metal and craftsmanship. However, when combined with lab grown diamonds, you can achieve exceptional value. For example, a one-carat bezel set lab grown diamond ring in platinum or rose gold often start at £1,600.

Do Bezel Set Lab Grown Diamonds Sparkle Less?
Not at all. While the bezel surrounds the edge of the diamond, light still enters from the top. With the right cut, such as an elongated cushion, emerald cut, or pear shape, your lab grown diamond bezel set ring will have stunning brilliance.

Yes. Bezel set engagement rings are experiencing a renaissance. Their sleek design, combined with the growing popularity of lab grown diamonds in the UK, makes them one of the most sought-after engagement ring styles for modern couples.
