I am considering of buying a "tension setting" ring made of titanium. This type of rings shape like either spiral or the letter "C" and the stone is held in between the gap by the springy tension of the ring.
I am just wondering how securely the stone is being held. It seems like if the tension between gap is too weak or if one of the end of ring gets caught by something, wouldn't the stone fall? Or the tension is on the cleavage, would the stone simply crack? Does anyone have any experience on this kind of ring? My girlfriend is allergic to white gold and wants something very unique. Any suggestion on these issues??
Thanks much!
