A solitaire tension ring holds a single center stone between the two ends of the band, so the stone looks as if it floats. These tension-style engagement ring settings come in white, yellow and rose gold, platinum, or Silvadium, a tarnish-resistant sterling silver. Every setting takes an emerald cut center, and most also take round, oval, princess, cushion, pear and other shapes.

Buying guide
In a tension set solitaire ring, the metal of the band curves up on each side and grips the center at its edges, with little or no metal under the stone. Light reaches the stone from the sides and below, and the profile stays clean and modern. Some settings add a bezel rim at the head for extra coverage, and a men's fluted style is part of the range too.
Every tension solitaire engagement ring here takes an emerald cut center, whose long, flat sides sit firmly against the band. Most also come for round, oval, princess, cushion, radiant, Asscher, pear, marquise and heart shapes. Most settings can be made for a fancy pink, yellow, blue or green center, and some for a black center. You choose the center in the next step.
Settings start under $400, and most are between about $1,250 and $1,400. The price is for the setting; the center is priced when you choose it.
