4. TENSION SETTING ENGAGEMENT RING

When it comes to the anatomy of a diamond ring, the setting plays a major role in defining the style of the piece. Where most traditional rings utilise prongs or metal baskets to secure a centre stone in place, the tension setting instead uses the ring itself as the mechanism that locks the diamond in place. This extraordinary setting is featured in the Millennium Diamond Ring, a Shimansky original that has been designed with sheer precision in mind. The round brilliant cut diamond is artfully suspended between two bands that represent the coming together of two lives. Delivering an unobstructed view of the stone, this design is created to showcase the unflawed beauty of a superb quality diamond beautifully. As the most popular and sought-after diamond engagement ring design in South Africa, the iconic Shimansky design is truly something special.
