In floating
diamond ring settings, the gemstones are literally suspended in the air by means of
prongs,
channels, and tensile force. Unlike traditional
diamond ring setting, a gemstone is completely exposed in a floating
diamond engagement ring. Thus, the elegance, as well as the qualities of a
diamond, is accentuated to the fullest in this case.
In most cases, brides prefer an
engagement ring that offers classic elegance without slipping back to
antique or vintage styles. Floating
diamond engagement is one of the best bet to achieve this. Note that tension
mount rings are one of the most popular styles in floating
diamond ring settings.
In tension
diamond ring setting, a gemstone is held at the
center of a
ring mainly
by means of the tensile force excreted by
diamond ring band from either side. Additionally, craftsmen also drill small grooves on the edge of
diamond engagement ring bands in order to hold the
diamond, but it will not be visible to spectators. Hence, it looks like a
diamond is floating in the air.
