Tiffany setting

Do you know about Tiffany setting?Tiffany setting that is introduced in 1886 by the world renowned jewelers Tiffany & Co. is probably the most classic of all the diamond engagement ring settings. It is made from Platinum, secured the diamond and protected the facets. Platinum was a rare and expensive metal even then, but its whiteness and resistance to wear made it the perfect precious metal for the Tiffany setting. Since it offered security for the diamond and allowed sufficient light to enter the stone, it became more and more popular. In the Tiffany setting, the diamond is raised above the finger allowing more light to enter the stone. Both the Tiffany setting and the use of Platinum were universally adopted for diamond engagement rings and both have become the ultimate setting for a diamond, providing a simple yet highly effective method of securing the stone. In a word, we have to admit that it is strikingly simple and elegant.
