Tension ring
A tension ring is a type of ring where the ring itself acts as the entire mounting and not just the prongs, bezel or other type of mounting found on top of most ring shanks. The ring acts as one large spring with tremendous clamping force which is opened up and clamped shut onto the diamond, holding it securely in place.
