The bezel tennis bracelet is the modern alternative to the prong-set format that defined the category for decades. Where prongs lift the stone and expose it from all angles, the bezel wraps each stone in a continuous metal collar - the effect is a lower, more integrated look where the CZ appears to be part of the band rather than sitting on top of it. Rachel Zoe uses round CZ in rhodium over sterling silver for a 7.25-inch bracelet with box clasp and extender. The round stones in bezel settings produce a continuous surface of smooth metal and glass - a clean, architectural result that is contemporary in a way the classic prong tennis bracelet is not.
