Thread 'Tiffany Harmony vs Tiffany 6 Prong'

Yesterday at 12:19 PM

I am getting engaged and have narrowed down between the classic Tiffany 6 prong setting and the Tiffany Harmony ring. I am getting a one carat as I do not want it to be flashy. I cannot decide between the two and would love some input about what vibe each ring gives and just overall opinions! I truly love them both equally and every time I think I have a preference, I switch

Are the diamonds the same carat weight in the two rings you tried on?

Yes

 

[RMOO]

Yes

Then I agree with the others, the 6 prong knife edge makes the stone look larger, and accentuates the round shape.

And congratulations on your upcoming engagement!

6 prong setting.

6 prong!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Definitely 6 prong classic setting!

There are certain styles of Rolex watches that scream Rolex. They have some other models which might suit others aesthetics. However, if I am wearing a Rolex, I want it to look like a classic Rolex. I feel the same way about the classic Tiffany setting. Recognition of the name brand is important if you are choosing the name brand. Just my two cents!

6 prong 100%!

Recognition of the name brand is the least important thing to me, in fact could be a deterrent as I love to be understated. I do however, love a classic piece and want to pick the most timeless, elegant option

Decision made, the classic Tiffany 6 prong knife edge is the clear choice then! Please post your ring when you receive it!

If you are not concerned about the brand, I would then suggest you look at other diamond suppliers. Tiffany is famous for outrageous markup for their brand and you can find excellent cut quality diamonds for much less. Just as an example there is this diamond in a carat range, F, VS1. Compare the price to what you might pay at Tiffany. https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-di...-vs1-clarity-round-excellent-cut-sku-a4724220
Vatche makes this setting https://www.whiteflash.com/engageme...-solitaire-engagement-ring-by-vatche-1778.htm which is about as close to the Tiffany setting as you can get.
Just as a comparison to the prices you might pay at Tiffany - particularly if having that brand name doesn't matter to you. A ring from Tiffany can be very special indeed but many have chosen to spend their money on top cut quality for much less money.

If that’s the case, why are you shopping at Tiffany? You could get the classic look you are going for with a super ideal cut diamond from Whiteflash or Brian Gavin Diamonds. Right now you are paying for the Tiffany name but if you don’t care about that why pay for it???

Having the brand name does matter to me, having other people know I am wearing a brand, does not. I am not asking for alternatives and quite frankly I am not concerned with how others choose to spend their money

I do care about the brand name for myself, not for others to know. There is a difference, not that I need to be explaining myself to you...

I am not so sure, just slightly leaning but it changes frequently lol

Ahh, got it! Thank you for that clarification.

Ouch! But you did come here asking for opinions.

 

[rjl]

Ouch! But you did come here asking for opinions.

I gave two choices- I was asking for opinions between the two. Unsolicited judgement of why I am getting a certain brand is unnecessary

I love Tiffany myself and am fortunate to have a number of beautiful items from there. The fact it is Tiffany for many reasons matters to me, for me. I’m not “unhappy” if people know I wear Tiffany, however I do not “advertise” it as I feel it would be inappropriate yet if they ask I tell them. I love how you love Tiffany for yourself - it is like your special secret! I still vote for the 6 prong because for a solitaire I love the roundness of it and I like the shank better than on the other style (which I think overpowers that stone), and also the crown on the 6 prong is just so perfect, clearly why it is so often “copied”.

Exactly! I think people today have a misconception that it's pointless to spend money on something unless everyone knows you did. I feel the same as you, if someone asks, I will be happy to tell. If not, I have no desire for them to know. Thank you so much for your feedback!

100%. I love my Tiffany pieces as well! That is not in dispute. My “ouch” comment was directed at OP for her comment, “I don’t need to explain myself to you…”

@rjl I understand there are two choices for you to decide between and gather other’s opinions on. The posters that gave other suggestions were only making you aware of other possibilities and options. We are a community of diamond enthusiasts and experts and would be remiss if not at least attempting to educate a newbie on some of the important differences, ie better cut. That’s all, just helpful suggestions and information that you can disregard. No harm, no foul. I hope You will choose the Tiffany ring that will make your heart sing!

Eta: Bouncing around between two threads isn’t ideal either. Next time just ask the Mods to move it

It was just a point to consider. I find there is much truth in numbers, and many have gone other ways after considering Tiffany. If it is Tiffany or nothing for you, that is fine. Clearly there is an overwhelming consensus on the classic six prong setting you are considering. I believe it began being manufactured in the 1800's so it is definitely a classic!

I am not a newbie to diamonds and do not need educating. I will bounce around whatever threads I please, please mind your business. Thank you.

Yes, but everyone's values and financial situation are different, I am not here to speculate. For me, I asked between two Tiffany rings because I will be getting one of these two options. As for the 6 prong setting, yes! It seems to be the overwhelming majority which is interesting to hear

@rjl, don’t be nasty and needy at the same time. People tire of it real quick.
Best of luck with your engagement
