The bezel setting wraps the diamond in a solid, polished collar of gold. This means it won't catch on your sweater or get tangled in your hair, making it a very practical stud that sits low and smooth against the earlobe.
You're looking at a single round diamond held inside a circular gold frame. The gold is highly polished to a mirror finish, reflecting the room around it. The bezel's inner wall is angled down toward the stone, which helps direct more light into the diamond. It's a round brilliant cut, so it's filled with facets that return light from every angle. The earring is built on a simple post with a matching butterfly backing.
You can choose between 14k or 18k solid gold. 14k gold is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys, which makes it very durable and resistant to scratches. 18k is 75% pure gold, giving it a richer yellow colour that's often preferred for sensitive skin. Because it's solid gold, the colour won't ever fade or rub off. The centre stone is a VVS/VS clarity diamond—either natural or lab-grown—which means it's exceptionally clear with almost no inclusions visible under magnification.

People often pick a bezel setting for security. The gold collar holds the diamond securely from all sides, protecting its edge from chipping. It also gives the diamond a slightly larger appearance and a clean, solid profile on the ear, without any prongs to snag on clothing or bedding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the bezel setting on this diamond earring make the stone look dull?
No, the bezel setting won't make the diamond look dull. While it covers the very edge of the stone, the polished inner wall of the gold bezel actually bounces light back into the diamond, adding to its brightness. The open back also allows light to enter from behind.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my Single Bezel Diamond Earring?
Yes, you can shower and sleep in it. Solid 14k or 18k gold won't be damaged by water, and the bezel setting is very secure and low-profile, so it's unlikely to snag on bedding or hair. We do recommend removing it occasionally for a gentle cleaning.
How will a 5 mm bezel diamond stud look in a second or third earlobe piercing?
A 5 mm stud will have a noticeable presence in a second or third piercing. It's a visible size that works well on its own or as the anchor in a curated ear stack. We suggest measuring your ear to visualize the space it will occupy next to your other jewellery.
