It is the most protective setting there is: nothing catches, nothing snags, and the stone cannot be knocked loose from the side. The trade-off is that the collar covers a little of the stone's edge, so a bezel-set stone reads marginally smaller than a claw-set one of the same weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters is that the setting sits flat to the lobe and the post is centred in it.
