Tension ring (jewelry)
The tension ring is a design with a modern finger ring variant, which holds a gemstone due to the inherent tension of the ring itself, without any setting . This is clamped in specially milled embeddings between the two ring ends.
Precious metals such as platinum and gold , which achieve the necessary tension through cold forming and at the same time give the stone a supple bearing, are best suited for this.
The tension ring offers the advantage of a side unobstructed view of the gemstone . This comes into its own better with a stone that is as brilliant as the diamond .
Even the unavoidable bumping of the ring in everyday use is tolerated by the tension ring due to its design-related elasticity.
Strong and direct impacts on the stone are to be avoided with all jewelry rings, as diamonds are extremely hard, but also split and brittle. A possible break here usually inevitably leads to the loss of the stone.
