So you’ve picked out your diamond or coloured gemstone, and you’re absolutely in love with it. You adore the brilliant facets, and you’ll probably sit there for hours watching the sunshine filter through, creating a rainbow of brilliance and fire.
You can’t wait for it to rest on your left ring finger, and you can just imagine catching a glimpse of sparkle out of the corner of your eye. There’s only one problem: you’re terrified of losing or damaging it.
Most women are quite active in their daily lives. We use our hands all day, every day, from household chores to hands-on careers to working out. (Where do we find the time?) Activity levels come in varying degrees, and women who participate in activities such as rock climbing, biking to work, dancing, etc., will need guidance from their jeweller to select the correct ring setting. Constantly removing your ring to guard it actually skyrockets the likelihood that you simply will misplace it.

We would like to suggest a couple of elegant (and sporty) options for women who participate in these activities:
- Extreme or contact sports (such as soccer, cricket, snowboarding, mountain biking or paragliding).
- Love hobbies that need constant stress on your hands (such as pottery, woodworking, glass blowing, or gardening).
- Have a job where you constantly use your hands (such as hair stylists, doctors, interior decorators or police officers).
- If you tend to be a bit hard on your jewellery (you always seem to be hitting tables, walls, etc. with your hands).
Bezel-Set Rings
Bezel-set rings are an active woman’s best friend. Many love this style for its modern curves and distinctive style, but others seek it out because the bezel setting protects the diamond or gemstone and keeps it firmly secured. A bezel setting encircles the gem’s girdle (the widest part of the diamond or gemstone) with a skinny band of metal.
This flowing setting gives this ring its modern appeal and provides gem security.
There are not any prongs, so you don’t need to worry about your ring catching in your hair, fabric, or other material. Simply carry on with your lifestyle. A bezel setting also allows you to wear gloves without the prongs getting in the way, which makes it a great setting for those who live in cold climates or are in a medical field.
Bezel settings work with many diamond shapes, from a classic round to a pear shape. You can also find bezel-set rings that feature milgrained details on the edge of the bezel, giving the ring some light-catching vintage flair.

Rings like the false channel eternity are an excellent compromise for those that crave the design of a glittery ring, but also love having a ring that won’t impose on your active lifestyle.
