How same is setting a princess cut diamond in bezel. I love bezel settings and am curious how good a princess can look in a bezel. Would the bezel provide better coverage for the clipped corners then the traditional chevron prongs do?

Hi All,
We don't love the chevron corners for princess cuts- we usually use "ball" prongs.

In terms of bezels and princess cuts: there's no safety advantage- the bezel does not protect the stone more than a properly done corner ball setting.
But if you like princess in bezel, go for it!
