The "Bezel" is the area of text that surrounds the stone.

Not all designs have a bezel, but the bezel is part of the "classic" look for class rings! Because a die must be made to create a ring, there is some expense involved in setting up the first ring for a school. With traditional schools, where multiple rings are ordered every year, the cost of the die for the bezel is not a factor. However, in a homeschool situation where the school may have a unique name and only one student, the cost of the die for the bezel is a large factor. For this reason, we've designed a collection of bezel designs that our customers may use when purchasing a ring from us.

There is no additional charge to use any of the designs shown here. See below for information about using your own school name on the bezel.

Your Own School Name on the Bezel

If you would like your own school name on the bezel, we can do it! There is a $75 die charge to create the die for your school name, and the name must fit within the number of characters allowed on the ring you have chosen. (The order form for the rings gives this information.)

We waive the die charge if 5 or more rings are ordered together using the same bezel. So if you are part of a Senior Class at a small school or part of a homeschool group and you will have 5 or more rings with the same bezel, there is no charge for the die. (We can set up a private page with a discount coupon to remove the die cost if your school or group has 5 or more ring orders.) If you are a homeschool parent purchasing a ring for one of your children, you may use the same bezel die in the future for rings for your other children. In this case, the bezel die is paid for on the first ring order and then there is no charge to use it again on subsequent orders.

A bezel design is divided into two halves, usually with dividers such as a small stones. Consider the layout of your school name and how it could be divided in half.  If possible, the two halves should be fairly equal in length. In a case where the first part of the school name is short and the second part is longer, the stones or dividers will be in the upper half of the bezel, rather than centered across from each other. When you submit an order for a custom bezel, we will look at it with an eye for how it will fit on the bezel and we'll call you if we have questions.
