Numerous are the gemologists, stone cutters, encrusters, polishers, and other Tiffany experts that were chosen this year to voice their opinions on 130 years of this iconic piece. By sticking with the same precious standards first instated by Charles Lewis Tiffany, they now tell the story of this engagement ring.
Everything started in 1886, the year that the piece was created. Visionary jewelry-making brought the world this extraordinary ring, a powerful and fascinating gem to behold. Set on a ring for the very first time, the beauty of diamonds could finally take flight… Charles Lewis Tiffany wasn’t just the founder of the great New York jewelry institution that bears his name, but was also behind a revolutionary new design. By setting the diamond above the ring to amplify the light reflected by the stone’s perfect cut, Tiffany was able to give romantics the world over an engagement ring to match their passions.
Through new standards – combining norms of superior quality and unequalled savoir-faire – Tiffany diamonds would soon rise up to the ranks of the most beautiful in the world. And it’s the Tiffany® Setting that would bring this excellence up to such high levels, definitively competing for international jewelry fame! Today after 130 years, this heritage is respectfully perpetuated by the hands of artisans that create this piece with the same passion and and perfect skill – an eternal love that resonates within a timeless style.
