Tiffany's engagement ring "Tiffany Setting" celebrates its 130th anniversary. The secret to its timeless popularity...

Jun 4, 2016

This year marks the 130th anniversary of the Tiffany Setting, Tiffany & Co.'s iconic engagement ring, a symbol of true love. Introduced in 1886, the Tiffany Setting was born from founder Charles Lewis Tiffany's desire to create a ring that would highlight the unparalleled beauty of a brilliant-cut diamond. Unlike previous rings, which set the diamond in a bezel, the innovative design featured six platinum prongs to lift the diamond from the band, allowing light to enter from all directions and maximize the diamond's brilliance. As Henry Ciudad, a gemstone cutter who has worked at Tiffany for 16 years, put it, "Tiffany selects 99.96% of the diamonds recognized worldwide," the round brilliant-cut diamond set atop the band meets the most stringent diamond evaluation standards, far exceeding those established by the industry. In addition to Henry, the workshop is staffed with top-notch artisans, including brothers Bhagwati and Manek Patel, who have worked in the industry for 45 years and specialize in diamond cutting and polishing, and Thomas Giulia, who uses his expert techniques to cut gemstones to the same height, weight, and angle. It is their undeniable craftsmanship that underpins the "eternal brilliance" that has captivated so many people.

For these reasons, all Tiffany diamond engagement rings come with a full lifetime warranty and a Tiffany diamond certificate, which guarantee the quality of the diamond for a lifetime.
