This solitaire diamond ring cannot really exist

Yes this platinum, diamond, solitaire engagement looks great.  How many carats is that?  Two carats?  Jesus H.  The ring looks great, but seriously, look at that thing:  it’s just too good to be true.  I’ve never seen a tension setting like that and, really, I don’t think one like that could work.  That diamond would pop out of there like a piece of kettle corn.

The setting is one of the trickiest things about designing a cool ring.  The setting is functionally important (keep that ice in!), but it’s either got weird prongs; some huge bevel set or you get a headache just looking at all the tension in a tension set.  Really, do you want the symbol of your marriage to be constant tension?

Ideally a diamond could just hover over the ring like a perfect satelite (diamonds are forever, Mr. Bond) and refract all the light it can without disrupting the continuity of the ring itsself.  Could someone work on that - the hover-set diamond?  Thanks.
