How to Make Your Engagement Ring Look Double the Size

While we’ve provided a must-read set of tips to make your engagement ring look bigger, we have one more savvy tip to add to the list. NYC-based private jeweler Stephanie Gottlieb, recently spilled a simple detail that makes all the difference. According to the diamond expert, opting for a bezel setting is key to making the center stone look larger. “The bezel setting is a unique alternative to the traditional prong setting that you find on most engagement rings. A bezel is a very secure way to protect a diamond for the girls who are rough on their hands. It also enhances the overall look of the center stone, giving it a slightly larger appearance. With a smooth shiny finish, like the ones pictured here, the bezel is a super modern way to re-create the classic solitaire,” Gottlieb shared.
