Tension Set Engagement Ring
Browse Tension Set Engagement Ring
Tension setting engagement ring were first created by designer Friedrich Becker
in the late 1960s for the company Niessing. The technology known as "tension setting" produces
springs so tight that they will last centuries before they lose their spring power. This
technology makes prongs, bezels, channels, and any other mounting device obsolete. With a tension
set engagement ring, all you see is the gem. No obvious mountings or tacky settings.
From the looks of a tension set engagement ring, it may appear that the stone is hanging by a
thread. Jewelers who sell rings using tension settings often have to explain to the prospective
buyer that the ring is in fact, more secure than the traditional mounting. With tension set
engagement rings, the stone is actually held in place by the entire ring rather than a by a prong
claw that is a mere fiftieth of an inch thick. Shop for Engagement Rings Now
