Bezel

Bezel set tanzanite stone in white gold looks very beautiful and is very durable also. As this is a fragile stone, very prone to breaking and scratches, bezel setting is ideal since it can protect the stone from any kind of impact or blow. Prong setting is usually found in studs. Four or five prongs or claws hold the round or oval stone to emphasize the brilliant color of the stone. The stone also appears bigger in this type of setting as it is open from all sides.

Tanzanite earrings as well as rings and other jewelry should never be stored by bundling them together as they can scratch very easily. For cleaning, a warm soapy wash will suffice. Earrings with prong setting requires careful handling while wearing and cleaning as the prongs can get caught with the cloth and open up. Even while cleaning it should be pat dried with a moist cloth and never be scrubbed.
