Floating Diamond Engagement Rings are a fairly modern design. It is only in recent years that jewellery manufacturing has tempered alloys strong enough to clasp a diamond or other gemstone firmly and securely enough. The grip on the setting must be very gently held without excerting too much force, which could damage the jewel. The predominant reason for wearing a floating diamond ring on your right hand is to co-ordinate with your diamond wedding and engagement rings,

The term “floating” refers to diamonds that are literally suspended within the ring setting so they appear to float in place rather than be held by numerous prongs or channels. In contrast to traditional settings which are obviously supported from below by claws or clasps, floating diamond engagement rings use open, elevated settings that highlight the beauty and simplicity of the diamond rather than concealing it within more constrictive engagement ring settings. While the idea of the gem floating is actually an illusion, these settings offer simple elegance and traditional appearances coupled with contemporary style and minimalist design.
Floating diamond engagement rings are stunningly beautiful and the illusion that they create brings an air of elegance and perceived value to the design.
