TIFFANY ENGAGEMENT RING

Among the most enduringly popular settings is the Tiffany, a variant of the prong setting. Charles Tiffany created this design in the 1880s, and it is considered one of the most sought-after choices due to its stunning appearance and prestigious history.

The term and design of the 'Tiffany setting' have been trademarked by Tiffany & Co. Therefore, you may also find this type of ring advertised as a multi-prong solitaire ring. Before this style, diamonds were typically set in bezel settings, which, although secure, tended to obscure the depth of the stone.

The main purpose of this setting is to elevate the gemstone higher in the setting, allowing as much light as possible to reach the diamond's surface. This maximizes the sparkle from a single stone. The setting consists of raised claws that securely hold the diamond while allowing light to shine through its many facets. The less metal used in the fabrication of the claws, the more brilliant and larger the diamond will appear.

Prong setting engagement rings like this typically have three, four, or six individual prongs welded or soldered into the band to mount the diamond to the metal. Using fewer prongs exposes more of the diamond, allowing maximum light entry for brilliance. However, it may also make the stone more vulnerable to accidental loss or damage. Purchasing from a high-quality jeweler and regularly checking the stone's firmness and cleanliness will instill confidence in the security of your stone.
