Does bezel setting make rings look bigger?

THE ANSWER

Yes. The metal rim creates an optical illusion. It acts as an extension of the stone. White gold or platinum blends with a white diamond's sparkle. This visually adds a millimetre or more to the diameter. Even yellow or rose gold adds volume to the ring's face. The look is bolder and more substantial. A 1-carat diamond might look delicate in prongs. The same stone can look quite significant in a bezel.
