What is the name of the iconic Tiffany & Co. engagement ring setting?

The iconic Tiffany & Co. engagement ring setting is the Tiffany Setting.

Charles Lewis Tiffany introduced it in 1886, creating a solitaire design that raised the round brilliant diamond above the band. Its six slender prongs hold the stone while leaving more of its surface exposed to light, helping maximize its visual brilliance.

The design was influential because late-19th-century rings often placed gemstones low against the band or surrounded them with elaborate decoration. The Tiffany Setting instead made the center diamond the clear focal point. Its elevated profile also helped establish the solitaire engagement ring as a modern classic.

A common mix-up is calling any six-prong or raised solitaire a Tiffany Setting. “Tiffany Setting” is specifically the trademarked Tiffany & Co. design, although many other jewelers make visually similar prong settings. Tiffany Legacy, Novo and True are separate Tiffany engagement-ring styles, not alternate names for this setting.
