Ring Style Guide

Tension Engagement Ring

Your diamond appears to float in mid-air, suspended by invisible forces.

About This Style

The tension-set engagement ring is a feat of engineering and design: the diamond is held in place solely by the compressive spring tension of the metal shank, with carefully calibrated grooves gripping the stone's girdle. No prongs, no bezel — just the diamond appearing to float between two ends of the band. Most tension settings use platinum or 18K gold for the strength required to maintain consistent tension.


Best For

Design-forward clients who want a truly contemporary, architectural statement ring. Those who appreciate fine engineering and minimalist design. Clients who don't anticipate needing significant ring resizing.
