Show me your Niesssing tension setting

[Rhea]

On holiday this week with DH and I stopped by a jewellery store. They carried Niesssing rings, which I''ve always loved, but never seen in person. I tried on a Flat in platinum with a .35 carat and a High End in yellow gold with a 2.7 carat. The store didn''t have a ton of styles and I was so excited that I didn''t think to look for Tapered or my personal favorite Everest. The two I tried on were too chunky on my fingers, but I was so excited I forgot about trying other designs because I didn''t want to waste their time and was partly embarassed because I was gushing.

The sales women knew a lot about Niessing - so surprising considering they were looked to be younger than me (early 20s) and I''m in the UK where engagement rings are done in the same way as they are in the US. I loved that there were smaller carat sizes and would love to see more Niessing. I''m especially interested in stones under a carat in Tapered or Evereset but will take it all!!! I''m not in market, just expressing love for one of my favorite designers.

ADDY!! Niessing, Bunz, and Steven Kretchmer are three of my favorite designers because of their amazing tension rings. I also think they look much better with smaller stones.

Here''s a link of someone on PS that has a Niessing. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-niessing-open-end-tension-setting.74279/

Elle, thank you! Perfection, isn''t it? I wish there were hand shots, but it doesn''t look like that poster is around anymore. The rings I tried on were slightly bulky on me and I wish wish wish I''d thought to calm down and try on a couple more.

I find Kretchmer''s site very tough to navigate. Is it just me?

Mikrato1 also has one. It''s a gorgeous Kretchmer link: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/steven-kretchmer-tension-finally-done.81479/

Steven Kretchmers site isn''t too bad. After the intro is done you need to click "galleries", then "rings", then just click whatever image you want for the bigger version.

This is another ring I was considering but it sits way too high off the finger.
