THE TENSION SETTING
A tension setting is different from a traditional setting. A typical traditional setting holds the center stone securely in place using prongs or a metal rim around the stone. In a tension setting, the center stone appears to be floating, as the stone is held in place by compression force. Although it may appear fragile, a tension setting is durable when securing the stone using the appropriate methods. The full view of the center stone allows more light to interact with the stone revealing its natural beauty and enhancing its sparkle. OVAKI works only with diamonds and certain gemstones to achieve the intended outcome of a tension setting.
Mastery & Sizing
Tension jewelry manufacturing requires specific skills and techniques and should be manufactured only by highly skilled artisans experienced in tension jewelry. OVAKI has mastered the craft over the years and has the experience and skillset to achieve a high-quality final product. It is essential that tension rings are not resized or altered in any shape or form to avoid losing its potency and compromising the security of the stone. Due to its unique style, finger measurements must be taken at one of OVAKI’s authorized retailers. Please speak with your retailer regarding available options if you need to resize your current tension ring.
