The classic look of this Tiffany & Co. solitaire.
In 1886, the introduction of the setting known as the Tiffany Setting marked a turning point in ring design. Charles Lewis Tiffany devised a unique structure designed to raise the diamond above the band, thereby optimising the passage of light through the stone’s facets. This pre-owned piece is part of this historic legacy. It features a brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.23 carats. The colourless centre stone is set on a 950 platinum base. The choice of this dense, precious metal emphasises the robustness of the design.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting rests on a knife-edge band, a technique that visually tapers the metal as it approaches the centre. This design draws the eye to the raised bezel. The diamond is held securely in place by six straight prongs with rounded tips. This precise setting leaves the sides of the bezel unobstructed to ensure maximum clarity. Despite platinum’s inherent density, the ring feels remarkably light on the finger. The entire metal surface has a uniform polish.
