WHAT DOES TIFFANY SETTING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tiffany mount

A Tiffany mount or Tiffany setting is a set of prongs that hold a gemstone and attach it to a plain band ring. It is a common setting for a diamond solitaire engagement ring. It is named after Tiffany & Co., which popularized it. It is inexpensive and easy to re-use, so most jewelers will accept returns of this setting and re-set the diamond in a different ring more to the bride-to-be's liking. The Tiffany mount can also show off the diamond and may maximize its radiance. Quality settings do not snag on clothing, as the prongs are firmly attached to the diamond and well finished.
