The geometric legacy of the Tiffany Setting
In 1886, Charles Lewis Tiffany invented a setting that raises the diamond to allow its facets to be fully exposed to the light. This pre-owned piece of jewellery is a faithful embodiment of that legacy. The centre stone is a natural round brilliant-cut diamond weighing 0.96 carats. Sourced from responsible supply chains in Botswana, this gem has an F colour grade, signifying ‘extra white’, and a VS1 clarity grade, indicating minute inclusions invisible to the naked eye. Its cut proportions are rated as excellent. This gemmological combination is set in a 950 platinum alloy, offering density and a lasting, cool brilliance.
Design and jewellery craftsmanship
The design of The Tiffany Setting features an open setting with six slender, straight prongs. This iconic setting holds the stone firmly in place whilst completely freeing the pavilion and crown from the metal’s grip. The ring shank features a distinctive bevelled profile known as a ‘knife-edge’. This design makes the setting appear lighter on the finger whilst maintaining optimal structural rigidity. All metal surfaces are given a uniform mirror polish, with no additional surrounding elements, to draw the eye solely to the solitaire diamond.
Why choose this second-hand engagement ring
Purchasing this second-hand ring is a sensible decision. Securing a certified diamond just shy of the one-carat mark, with F and VS1 grades, represents a sought-after balance in the diamond market. The craftsmanship involved in working with platinum and the level of finish required by the manufacturer’s standards entail high production costs. This expert-assessed piece offers the opportunity to access the absolute benchmark of the jewellery industry, with a coherent and sustainable design.
