CAN A STONE FALL OUT OF A BEZEL SETTING?

THE ANSWER

It's possible but extremely rare. Much less likely than with prongs. A bezel holds the stone with continuous friction and a lip of metal pushed over the gem. For the stone to fall out, the metal would need to wear down significantly over decades. Or the ring would need massive impact that warps the metal frame. Poor craftsmanship can cause problems if the bezel wasn't tightened enough initially. That's a manufacturing defect, not a style flaw. Check the ring every few years. A bezel is exceptionally secure.
