bezelize

Bezelize is a term that describes the process of adding a bezel to something, particularly a watch or a piece of jewelry. A bezel is a decorative or functional rim that surrounds a central element, such as a watch face, a gemstone, or a screen. In watchmaking, the bezel is often a rotating ring used for timing or as a decorative element that frames the dial.

The act of bezelizing can refer to the manufacturing process where a bezel is attached to a watch case, or it can describe the customization or modification of an existing item by adding a bezel. For instance, a watch enthusiast might bezelize a plain watch by adding a diamond-encrusted bezel for a more luxurious appearance. The term can also extend to other applications, such as adding a protective or decorative rim around a screen on an electronic device, though this is less common than its use in the context of watches and jewelry. The specific method of bezelizing depends on the materials involved and the desired aesthetic or functional outcome.
