Tension set rings are celebrated for their unique, modern aesthetic and the way they enhance the natural beauty of the diamond. Here are some key benefits:

MDTdesign Melbourne is dedicated to creating handmade jewellery without any mass production. Each tension set engagement ring is handmade by skilled artisans using traditional handmaking techniques combined with modern innovations.
The process begins with a personalized consultation where clients share their vision and preferences. Our expert jewellers provide guidance on selecting the perfect diamond and design elements to create a truly bespoke piece.
Using the client’s input, the design is developed by viewing a vast range featured in our Tension Set engagement ring collection. This way our designers can get an understanding about what designs you like and why and incorporate several designs together to create something entirely unique for you. Or simply find you the perfect existing design and tailor the details to you in the material selection phase. This collaborative phase ensures that every detail aligns with the client’s vision.

What makes tension set rings different from traditional rings?
Tension set rings use the tension of the metal band to hold the diamond in place, creating a floating effect leaving the bottom and sides of the diamond exposed. This unique design allows more light to enter the diamond, enhancing its brilliance and offering a modern aesthetic.
Are tension set rings secure?
Yes, tension set rings are highly secure. The metal band exerts pressure on the diamond, holding it firmly in place without the need for traditional prongs or bezels.
Can tension set rings be resized?
Resizing tension set rings can be challenging due to the nature of the setting, most of the time it results in needing the tension set ring to be remade to ensure the strength in the tension is not lost. It’s important to get an accurate size initially and consult with an expert jeweller at MDTdesign if resizing is needed. MDTdesign offer two complimentary resizes within the first year of purchase on all of our designs in order to ensure you have selected the perfect fit.
What types of diamonds are best for tension set rings?
High-quality diamonds are ideal for tension set rings. The setting allows for maximum light entry, so a well-cut diamond will showcase its brilliance. Some of the more resilient gemstones such as high quality sapphires can also be utilised in a tension set ring design.
How do I care for my tension set ring? Regular cleaning and professional inspections are recommended to maintain the beauty and security of your tension set ring. Avoid exposing the ring to extreme cnditions and hard knocks. We recommend taking all rings off whilst at the gym, participating in sport activities, washing dishes, gardening or doing any heavy handed work.
