Anyone interested in making the most dramatic presentation of a diamond need look no further than a “tension setting.” Otherwise referred to as a “floating” or “suspended” setting, tension-set diamonds seem to hover in place in the middle of a band of metal.

This two-point pressure method of securing the gemstone without the need for prongs assures that the diamond remains unobstructed and that the most amount of available light will penetrate it, producing maximum brilliance. Our tension set diamond rings are known for their dazzling beauty and are a favorite among many of our customers.
