When Charles Lewis Tiffany\u2019s first diamond engagement ring made its first appearance in 1886, it did more than create an iconic gift of commitment; the world fell in love with Tiffany\u2019s now signature six-prong band setting, which lifts the diamond so more light can pass through it, resulting in an elegant sparkle no woman can resist.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p>Tiffany diamonds are famously one of the finest in the world. In the 1840s Charles L. Tiffany purchased some French Crown Jewels and was called the \u201cKing of Diamonds\u201d by the press. Then in 1877, one of the world\u2019s largest and finest fancy yellow diamonds was discovered in the Kimberly diamond mines of South Africa. The rough stone weighed an impressive 287.42 carats and was purchased by Tiffany the next year. After careful scrutiny, Charles L. Tiffany and the company\u2019s preeminent gemologist, Dr George Frederick Kunz, agreed to cut away over half of the stone. The cut and polished Tiffany Diamond, as the stone was named, weighs 128.54 carats. That yellow diamond sealed the company\u2019s reputation as not only the leading authority on diamonds but also the place to buy diamonds of the highest quality and design.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Tiffany Setting and Blue Box\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Tiffany-Setting-and-Blue-Box-e1361522740446.jpg\" \/><i class=\"special\">Tiffany Setting and Blue Box. Photo Credit: Carlton Davis<\/i><p>Standing by their promise of providing diamonds of the highest standards, Tiffany&#8217;s recent gemologist reports showed that only 0.02% of the world\u2019s diamonds can meet the company\u2019s exacting standards. A Diamond Certificate, which itemises the individual characteristics of the stone, accompanies each diamond solitaire sold at Tiffany &amp; Co.They are cut for beauty to maximise brilliance, not size, a sacrifice not unlike those a couple often has to make to ensure the longevity of their marriage. The sparkle, together with the famed settings of the band, makes a really magical proposal. This was what Charles L Tiffany, a hopeless romantic, wanted to achieve all along.<\/p><p>Before there was the Tiffany Setting that we all know today, diamond rings were set in bezels, where a piece of metal surrounds the stone to hold it in place. But Mr Tiffany\u2019s innovative setting of six platinum prongs, shaped like claws, lifted the stone off the band and into the light, showcasing Tiffany&#8217;s diamonds and design excellence. To this day, it is the most sought-after symbol of love, with a legacy that has been celebrated in film, art and literature.<\/p><p>Tiffany has a wide selection of ring styles, including the Tiffany Legends collection, which consists of five diamond rings that have achieved large and very loyal followings world-wide, and, as any woman who has tried on several rings in search for the perfect one can attest, each design has its own unique personality.<\/p><p>Apart from the iconic Tiffany Setting, Lucida\u00ae, which is a patented Tiffany exclusive, is a square diamond with its high step-cut crown and proud, wide corners. Lucida\u00ae has a passionate following among those who prefer the brilliance of a diamond with a large table. Tiffany Novo was inspired by the Tiffany Diamond. It marries modern style with timeless grace, giving a nod to the past and a glimpse of the future. Tiffany Bezet, the newest of the Legends, reinterprets the traditional bezel setting in shapes including heart, pear and round. The bezel-set profile sits closer to the hand, following the contours of a diamond to accentuate its shape and beauty. A period piece inspired by archival drawings from the early 1900s, Legacy evokes \u201cLa Belle Epoque\u201d, and is feminine and romantic, with a cushion-shaped modified brilliant-cut diamond (exclusive to Tiffany &amp; Co.) surrounded by a frame of bead-set diamonds. The effect is mesmerizing, drawing the eye into a seemingly endless kaleidoscope of layer after layer of facets.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Tiffany Art of Romance\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Tiffany-Art-of-Romance-e1361522887946.jpg\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Tiffany-Art-of-Romance.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Click<\/a> for larger image<\/i><p>And those are not all that Tiffany has to offer.
