An engagement ring that consists almost entirely of diamonds: the fine diamonds encircle the finger like twinkling stars and still emphasizes the beauty of the precious engagement solitaire.
Pure, clear, timeless: The Niessing Spannring® is the diamond solitaire of the modern age. The precious stone is held in the ring without any setting: It appears to float above the hand.
The Niessing Spannring® Era reveals fascinating new facets of a great design icon. At the same time, it pays tribute to Bauhaus and to the original round shape of the Niessing tension ring.
Its unusual form allows the Niessing Spannring® Era to be worn in two different ways: Would you like the arches to run across your finger or nestle gently between your fingers? Sense what is right at the moment; the form always follows your emotions – »form follows emotion«.
The Niessing Spannring® Era pendant is the perfect complement: a delicate, endless band of gold or platinum encircles two precious diamonds. The Niessing Coil or Niessing Chain are simply pulled through it – one of the sparkling diamonds always faces forward.

The finely tuned proportions and perfectly balanced curves now make it possible for the Niessing Ring® Lucia to hold even smaller diamonds starting at 0.3 ct.
What could better highlight a single diamond that numerous small diamonds? The Niessing Spannring® Lucia Highlights plays with a sparkling line of light.
The tiny diamonds themselves seem to be holding the large solitaire. Only one side of the ring has a diamond pavé, leaving the choice to you which side to show.
The design icon as delicate earrings and as a pendant on a long, fine textile cord or for the Niessing Coil: you have never seen the Niessing Spannring® so fine and intricate.
Niessing has left its mark on the modern world of jewelry like no other brand. Unconventional thinking, new ideas, appreciating traditions and having the courage to explore new territory are integral parts of our identity.
It all starts with a curiosity and fantasy that makes thinking the unthinkable possible. What follows is a process involving systematic method, intense experimentation as well as playful trial and error.
The heart meets the mind - Which of the two first makes itself known is not necessarily important, and they are not necessarily found in equal measure. Yet there is always the guidance of objective rationality and a heart filled with passion.
The glow of passion
A ring and a floating diamond is all it takes. Ever since the development of the Niessing Spannring®, a diamond can be held by a ring without a setting. What sounds so simple, is in reality very complex – a quick look into our workshops reveals this.
The highest degree of craftsmanship
Forging a Niessing Spannring® requires deep knowledge of the precious materials, expert craftsmanship, and a good deal of innovative drive. As always, what counts most are the people: our designers, goldsmiths, and stone setters are passionate team players.
Precision and emotion
Only with their skilled eyes and their love for detail is the diamond set afloat in each and every Niessing Spannring®: free and yet held fast and secure.
