Latest Awards - Highest Awards - Named "Best Ring Design" by JCK Jeweler's Choice Awards 2013. View Details.
Tension Settings:
A tension setting is a unique process used for a ring, pendant, or earring that holds a gemstone in place by applying pressure.
The spring loaded metal in a tension setting has small etchings/ grooves to the metal creating a seat or cradle like action for the gemstones edges to lock into place. This creates the appearance that the gemstone is floating.
Tension Mounting: A tension setting allows the maximum amount of light to pass through the center stone creating extraordinary brilliance superior to all traditional settings.
How Do Tension Settings Work?
In-order to make a tension setting GelinAbaci must work to harden the metal, employ special alloys, and pressure treat the metal to create the superior strength that is required for the spring loading process to occur. GelinAbaci tension settings are manufactured in 14k, 18k, and 950 platinum. GelinAbaci has the largest selection in tension settings in the world. Each tension setting exerts from 65 to 95lbs of pressure per millimeter which equates to 12,000 pounds per square inch on a diamond or any other gem stone. Any gemstone with a hardness of 9 or above on the Mohs hardness scale can be tension set.
