This sterling silver ring features a fine silver three-quarter setting that securely holds a faceted peridot while still allowing light to pass through. The three-quarter bezel setting, highly popular among jewellery students, combines strength with elegance: the stone is enclosed on three sides, while the open section enhances brilliance and sparkle.
One of the main advantages of this design is its versatility. It works equally well for faceted gemstones as it does for cabochon cuts, and even pearls can be beautifully set in this way. The partial openness of the setting not only emphasizes the stone’s natural beauty but also gives the piece a modern, airy character.
The three-quarter bezel setting in fine silver or fine gold is particularly valued in jewellery making courses because it offers both stability and a high-end aesthetic without completely enclosing the gemstone. This makes it a reliable choice for everyday wear while maintaining an artisanal, handcrafted look.
