History Lesson on Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany & Co. startedin New York City in 1837.Two young entrepreneurs namedCharles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young openeda stationary and fancy goods store that welcomedsocialites, heads of state and collectors, according to the their website. Mr.Tiffany made headlines for purchasing the French crown jewels, forever associatingthe name “Tiffany” with luxury and fine jewelry.Today, although the brand has stores all over the world, its headquarters are still atthe site of theoriginal shop on the corner ofFifth Avenue and 57th St. in Manhattan.
The Tiffany engagement ring setting, which first sold in 1886, made Tiffany & Co. a household name. The Tiffany setting was the first setting to use prongs to hold a diamond, instead of the traditional bezel setting, which left only the top of the diamond visible. This setting also optimized a diamonds’ sparkle. Because the Tiffany setting exposed more of the diamond, it allows more light enter through many facets. This then, increases the rings’ brilliance and shine. Even today, the Tiffany setting remains the world’s most popular style of engagement ring.
