wanted: a setting as close to the REAL Tiffany solitaire setting

[Adriana]

Hi all,
I am in the market for an engagement diamond and have been looking at both loose stones and set rings. I''ve read all the caveats and warnings about Tiffany on here, but have to admit I really love Tiffany''s simple platinum setting for a solitaire. It is so much nicer than the "tiffany-style" settings I''ve seen at other jewelers and dealers, which just don''t compare in terms of beauty, proportion, simplicity. I know a lot of places have "tiffany-style" settings, but can anyone direct me to a resource that might have something very close to the the actual Tiffany solitaire setting? I haven''t been able to find anything even close, and don''t want to overpay for a Tiffany stone just to get that perfect, classic, proportionate platinum setting. Thanks for any leads!

How about this one from Excel.

IMO, this one still comes closest out of all of them. Read their website about how they make the ''Tiffany'' setting. I''m sure you can call them and ask a bizillion questions if you''d like! It really is a pretty setting!

I agree with the excel suggestion. Whiteflash does offer one now too that is pretty darn close though and might be worth looking into as well.

Dont know what budget is but here is this... http://www.topazery.com/antique-jewelry-item-rg2935.htm

Also, I would also say Excel, Brian gavin diamonds, and WF have the closest to Tiff''s with Excel and Brian Gavin diamonds in the lead in the lead

If you''re buying a loose stone from someone other than Whiteflash is there any way to still get their Tiffany style setting? The product page for it indicates that you have to buy a diamond from them too.

Wow, love that ring! I second the suggestion of getting a second hand Tiffany ring. I have one from Signed pieces and I love it! Also, had a Tiffany appraisal done for the piece of mind.

Yes it looks delicious, although I''ve never heard of topazery. Personally I love the look of Brian Gavins work but I don''t think you can go wrong with Excel or WF

I was actually in Tiffany''s today and I fell in love with the setting all over again.

Personally if I was going down the replica route I''d probably go for the WF one because the prongs on the SC look nothing like the real setting imo

The setting on my ering is platinum, Tiffany style, 6 prong knife edge, made by a company called Stuller. My jeweler ordered it for me. I''ve had Tiffany salespeople who thought my ring was a Tiffany''s ring! That''s how similar the setting is!

 

[neatfreak]

I think Excel and Brian Gavin have some of the best lookalikes out there. Whiteflash''s is also ok-but for me the prongs on that one don''t quite hit the mark.

 

[Laila619]

I think the Excel is the closest.

I just realized I linked the incorrect tiffany inspired setting, oops.

Here is what I meant to show you.

I think Brian Gavin''s is the closest, and most elegant IMO, but Excel is great too.
