What type of cut is the Tiffany solitaire diamond ring?

“You’ve probably heard this a million times, but I’m shopping for an engagement ring. I’m trying to keep this on the down low, and don’t want to blow the surprise by suddenly starting to ask my girlfriend all kinds of questions about diamonds and rings. But awhile back she did indicate that if I ever wanted to buy her an engagement ring, that I should buy her a traditional tiffany solitaire. Can you tell me what type of cut is the tiffany solitaire diamond ring? On a side note, this might seem kind of cheap, but do I really need to spend two months’ salary on an engagement ring? That seems kind of steep to me.”

What shape diamond is a Tiffany solitaire?

I’m going to rephrase your question about what type of cut is the Tiffany solitaire diamond ring into what shape diamond is a Tiffany solitaire, and then I’m going to morph it once more and ask what shape diamond is most likely to be set in a traditional Tiffany style solitaire, because these are questions that people frequently ask us, and I want to include all of them in this blog post.

The traditional Tiffany solitaire featured a round brilliant cut diamond as the center stone, however the design has been adapted to accommodate diamonds of every shape and style. The classic solitaire by Brian Gavin which is pictured above, is designed to accommodate a Brian Gavin Signature round diamond. Whenever somebody tells me that they are looking for a traditional Tiffany style engagement ring, this is the ring style that comes to mind, and seems to be what they have in mind. The advantage to a BGD Signature round diamond is that it will exhibit the highest volume of light return, and a virtual balance of brilliance and dispersion.

Our diamonds practically explode with light! Regardless of what combination of carat weight, color, and clarity you pick, you can rest assured that the light performance offered by every Brian Gavin Signature round diamond is off the charts!

While we’re on the subject of what diamond shape is most popular for a tiffany style solitaire, I want to take a moment and introduce the Classic Truth 4 prong solitaire by Brian Gavin. People love the design of the six prong head that is an integral part of the classic six prong solitaire, and frequently ask whether we offer the same design in a four prong solitaire. Unfortunately, we’re not able to because the prong configuration does not adapt to four prongs very well. Which is why we created a new design for a four prong head that is just as beautiful and impressive. So if you like the look and feel of our classic 6-prong solitaire, but have always wanted a four prong solitaire, you now have a wonderful option!
