WOW! I am usually not drawn to tension settings, your ring is absolutely magnificient! The diamond is a great size for the ring - this is what tension settings should all look like!!

Any chance of a close up pic?

Very nice!

 

[akmiss]

[Miss Fortune]

Modern and clean! Really pretty!!!

 

[MikeRato1]

very pretty! we just got a tension setting also, and she gets A TON of compliments! enjoy it

have you thought about what your doing for a wedding band yet? she is not sure if she wants to get one custom made or have one on her other hand

Thanks all! I'll try to take more photos later.

Akmiss, I know it's 2.1 Carats, but don't know the specs on it. He did all kinds of research and I just don't want to ask him right now, "so clarity? color?". I'll find out at some point. He did such a great job, that I don't want to spoil it with tech questions. It's really white and really sparkley. I forget my european size, but I have small fingers. I'm a 4.5.

I'm not going to go with a band. I really think that it is going to take away from simplistic prettiness of it.

What a stunning ring!

Congratulations on your engagement!

I don''t think you need a band with that beauty--it''s a work of art! Absolutely beautiful setting and Gorgeous stone!

Perfection!

Ooh, that is very pretty! I love the view from the side

 

[erica k]

wow, looks gorgeous! i haven''t seen too many tension set rings with larger stones, and it is absolutely perfect!

Very nice!!

It’s simple yet elegant.

Beautiful ring especially with that nice diamond on the center.

I assume it’s platinum…it must be quiet heavy.

Enjoy!

I just adore the heft of the band. It showcases the diamond so

I was thinking the same thing...nothing like a nice substantial piece of bling!

 

[Lynn B]

Wow, that''s a killer diamond in a very unique ring! I absolutely LOVE being able to see the whole *nekkid* diamond!

Congratulations!

 

[LegacyGirl]

Wow that''s really cool!

 

[pixley]

UNREAL! That is such a beautiful setting and I too, LOVE seeing the whole stone!

Hi Guys! Thanks so much! Hopefully it helps someone in the market for a tension set ring. I will post more pictures later. I am actually a photographer and oddly can''t get a good close up because my lenses aren''t made for macro shooting. I''ll figure it out. Yes it is platnum and yes it is really heavy. Another thing I love about it is how easy it is to clean. With no prongs and the way the diamond "floats", it is easy to run my jewelry cleaner all over it quickly. Probably like most new diamond owners, I am cleaning it obsessivly.
I appreciate your comments.
Thanks!

I didn''t know a 2 carat stone could be used in a tension setting! Soooooo beautiful!

It''s masterful, a work of art... truly gorgeous on your hand. I love it!

Thank you.
Niessing will go up to two carats. They spent some time inspecting the diamond to make sure it could work. I said my ring is 2.1. It could be 2.01. Now I''m not sure. But I do know Niessing maxes out at 2 carats in this particular tension setting.
