Elegance
and Uniqueness Comprise Tension Rings
It is their smooth, sleek lines and natural elegance that accentuates
the beauty of tension
rings. The tension settings have become the ultimate in contemporary engagement
ring design. In tension
rings, the perfection and beauty of the diamond or any other gemstone
is highlighted rather than adding any distracting embellishments. Tension
settings have become an instant classic in the contemporary ring designs owing
to its minimal and elegant look.
In a tension
ring setting, the diamond or other gemstone appear to be floating or
suspended in the mid air within the band of the ring itself. This setting uses specially
treated metals that have an inherent springiness nature to hold the ring in place.
The entire band of the ring acts as two large prongs to hold the stone in place with
small carved niches that fit around the stone’s girdle. The stone is help securely
in place in a unique floating illusion with great tensile strength. Each tension ring
is individually made to the specific dimensions of your diamond in order to keep it
safe and secure in the setting.
Initially couples were having concern over the safety of the stone
as it is held in place through two points of contact rather than the typical four
or six prongs settings. This concern is however quite contrary. Tension
rings can be considered as one among the safest pieces of jewelry
available. Since the band metal is stronger than that used for prongs and more
of the metal is in contact with the stone than through narrow prongs, the stone
in a tension setting is held more securely than a traditional ring setting. Thus
the stone achieves a stronger and tighter fit. At Novori
Jewelry, the quality and craftsmanship is backed up with the lifetime
warranty we offer for all engagement
rings.
