What a lovely, amazing ring!! I am planning to get a tension setting someday myself, so I really appreciate you posting these pics! If you get a chance, I''m sure several of us would be interested in knowing the stats of the diamonds.
I''ve been hanging out in the pearl forums of late, and did a google search of TR-182 again to find my old post to make a link to it, and Lookie what I found!! Your ring is FABULOUS!, (ps, i''m a she ;-])
Nice to see my photos helped someone else out, its surprising how little there is out there, in terms of "real photos" on the G&A rings.
Also, its nice to know that your jeweler was rough with the rings in a test, I''ve happily been wearing my ring for several months now, and have had no issues, but every once in a while i give it a hard twack (accidentally) and a little twinge of nerves makes me think I "hurt" it, but no problems so far!
Like some here I generally don''t like the look of tension rings, but this ring is an exception - I really like the proportions. I''m sure your partner will love it, let us know how the proposal goes!
