My baby did a good job!! I love it! It's a 14 kt gold 1/2 carat diamond in a tension setting. I really love that he chose it all on his own. It makes it all the more special. I love the fact that it doesn't over power my small hand.
**Just a little trivia** lol
ABOUT TENSION SETTING RINGS
tension design is a minimalist ring setting where the diamond or other gemstone appears to float in midair within the band of the ring itself. First designed in the late 1960s, this setting uses specially treated metals that have an inherent springiness to hold the ring in place. Rather than prongs, the entire band of the ring acts as two large prongs to hold the stone in place, usually with small carved niches that fit around the stones girdle. With a tensile strength of 65-95 pounds, the stone is held securely in place with a unique floating appearance.
Initially, many couples are concerned about the security of tension settings since the stone is only held in place through two points of contact rather than the more typical four or six with prong settings, or even full contact settings such as flush or bezel designs. In reality, however, the stone is held more securely in a tension arrangement than in a classic prong style because the metal is generally stronger than that used for prongs, and more of the metal is in contact with the stone than through narrow prongs, therefore providing a tighter, stronger fit.
To be sure the stone can endure the pressure of a tension ring, there must be no surface or deep internal cracks or flaws that could decay under such pressure. Because of this, treated stones are not typically used for these rings, since their flaws may not be easily apparent. Furthermore, only high-quality gems should be selected for tension designs because of the inherent openness of the setting: there are no prongs or other accents to conceal minute imperfections. At the same time, however, tension arrangements may help improve a stones color because so much light enters and potentially brightens the gem.
