These emerald cut tension rings are engagement ring settings that hold the center between the ends of the band, so it seems to float. You choose the center in the next step, and many settings are made for fancy blue, pink, green, yellow or black centers.

Buying guide
A tension-style ring grips the stone from its sides between the two ends of the band, with little or no metal above or below it. Light reaches the center from more angles, and the ring has a clean, modern outline. An emerald cut fits this style well: its straight sides and flat step facets line up with the ends of the band and show the center's color in broad, clear planes.
For a tension set emerald cut diamond ring, think about daily wear. Because the stone sits open at the sides, it is best to remove the ring for heavy work.
Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. White gold, platinum and silver give the sleekest modern look, while yellow and rose gold warm the outline. Prices are for the setting only and start under $400; most settings are between about $1,300 and $1,550. The center is priced when you choose it.
Each ring is made for you in 10–15 days. Shipping is free on orders over $500, returns are accepted within 30 days, and one resize is free within 60 days of delivery.
