Tiffany and Company is the world’s most popular jewelry and silverware company that started only as a ‘stationery and fancy goods emporium’. The company is famous for its world-class diamonds that only very few people are fortunate enough to afford.

Tiffany & Co. was the very first to introduce the engagement ring as everybody knows it at present. The very famous six-prong Tiffany Diamond setting magnificently lifted the diamond above the band and into the light. The result? The Tiffany Diamond ring whose beauty is way beyond compare!

Humble Beginnings

Tiffany Diamond was founded by John Young and Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1837, initially sold wide varieties of stationery goods and was mostly operated in downtown Manhattan. Its original name, Tiffany and Young and Ellis, was shortened simply to Tiffany & Co. by 1853, right after Charles Tiffany decided to take control of the small company. Right there and then, the company put prominence on jewelry which eventually established itself in the business world. 

In early 1848, newspapers from New York City dubbed Charles Lewis Tiffany as the “King of Diamonds”. The quality of a Tiffany Diamond back then, and has remained, commendable. In 1887, Tiffany bought the French Crown Jewels which really shocked the whole world. That was the start of Tiffany Diamond, becoming the world’s authority in producing the finest diamonds.
