A LEGACY OF BRILLIANCE
THE KING OF DIAMONDSFrom the time he opened his first store in New York City in 1837, Tiffany & Co.
founder Charles Lewis Tiffany became known as a daring, audacious connoisseur of the world’s finest gemstones, traveling to Europe in the 19th century
to acquire caches of important diamonds. The extraordinary quality of these diamonds led the American press to dub him “The King of Diamonds.”
These magnificent stones shaped the heritage of Tiffany & Co., the world’s premier diamond jeweller.
THE TIFFANY DIAMONDMr. Tiffany understood that when a gemstone is absolutely superlative,
it holds a powerful and mysterious allure that is irresistible. This was abundantly clear when he unveiled his famous canary yellow
128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond. The world had never seen anything so spectacular. Tiffany had set an unassailable standard of diamond excellence.
THE TIFFANY® SETTINGIn 1886, Mr. Tiffany would go on to introduce the bridal engagement ring
as we know it today. The Tiffany® Setting was greeted with accolades for its brilliance and spectacular beauty. This ring became the ultimate symbol
of true love around the world, which still holds true today.
ABSOLUTE PERFECTIONThe concept of perfection rests firmly on the strictest standards
that must never be compromised. This, coupled with Tiffany’s insistence on impeccable artistry and craftsmanship, results in
diamonds of scintillating beauty. Each is a symbol that is worthy of true love and the promise of a beautiful life together.

LEGENDARY DIAMONDS
Tiffany & Co. is known for diamonds of exceptional beauty and brilliance, each meticulously selected to be the centrepiece
of extraordinary rings in a wide array of styles.
A TIFFANY DIAMOND IS RARER THAN RAREAn astonishing 99.96% of the world’s gem-grade diamonds fall short of
Tiffany’s standards. No more than .04% of all gem-grade diamonds are worthy of becoming Tiffany diamonds. So you can rest assured that
every Tiffany diamond engagement ring is superlative.
WE CUT FOR BRILLIANCETiffany diamonds are cut to maximize brilliance.
Others are cut to maximize carat weight. The difference is legendary and results in a more beautiful ring.
TIFFANY DIAMOND CERTIFICATE AND LIFETIME WARRANTY
Unlike the documentation that may accompany diamonds purchased elsewhere, the Tiffany Diamond Certificate is backed by a
Full Lifetime Warranty. Your ring will be cared for around the world, wherever you see our store and our name.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ETHICAL SOURCINGAs a leader in the jewelry industry, Tiffany & Co. has always been committed
to obtaining precious metals and gemstones, and crafting our jewellery in ways that are socially and environmentally responsible.
But our efforts extend beyond our own supply chain. As longtime leaders in the jewellery industry, we work to advance
rigorous and responsible mining standards. We also invest in diamond-producing countries, actively advocating for preservation
efforts and effective government oversight.

THE STRICT STANDARDS OF TIFFANY BRILLIANCE
The superlative beauty of Tiffany engagement diamonds can be explained by the strict quality standards that go well beyond the popular but
oversimplified 4Cs (cut, clarity, color and carat weight). Tiffany frequently rejects stones that would be accepted by others. In addition,
Tiffany uses a series of measurements, called “presence,” that can determine a diamond’s brilliance and beauty in profound ways.
CUTThe facet proportions on the surface of a diamond comprise
the “cut.” The positioning of these facets determines the stone’s general appearance and, when done precisely, its beauty. Tiffany diamonds are
properly proportioned and cut to achieve the ideal balance of brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. Many diamond cutters
choose to place the size of the stone above its potential beauty, sacrificing this ideal balance. Tiffany diamond cutters refuse to
make this compromise—when the choice is size or beauty, we always choose beauty.

COLOURMost people assume that the diamonds used in engagement rings are
intrinsically colourless; however, minute impurities within the stones lend them subtle coloured tints. At Tiffany, laboratory experts determine
the colour of each diamond by comparing it to authenticated “master” diamonds. Each stone is then colour-graded to a precise
scale from “D” (colourless) to “Z” (saturated).
Only diamonds of “I” level or better are accepted at Tiffany, all previous evaluations being held in question until the stone has been examined and
deemed to be of Tiffany quality. Borderline colour classifications are automatically given the lower grade. Additionally, the
Tiffany Gemological Laboratory will not accept stones exhibiting strong or excessive fluorescence, which, in natural lighting, gives diamonds
a milky appearance. Coloured diamonds have separate grading standards as rigorous as the ones used for noncoloured diamonds.
CLARITYClarity has direct relevance in the appraisal of a diamond’s value,
as virtually all diamonds have imperfections of one type or another. A stone is said to be flawless if, under 10-power magnification,
no internal flaws (clouds, feathers, pinpoints) and no external imperfections (scratches, pits, nicks) are visible. Absolutely flawless diamonds
are exceedingly rare.
Gem-grade diamonds are given a clarity rating based on a scale that is standard in the trade. However, when Tiffany believes
that a diamond’s clarity is on the borderline between two grades, Tiffany will always give the stone a lower grade. Additionally, while a diamond’s
clarity grade may be within the accepted range, our gemologists routinely reject stones with inferior characteristics.

CARAT WEIGHT“Carat” denotes the weight of a diamond. One carat equals 0.20 grams.
Tiffany measures diamonds to 1/1000th of a carat. Taken by itself, carat weight does not determine a diamond’s value. For example, two one-carat stones can vary widely in price when clarity, colour, cut and presence are taken
into consideration. When that is understood, it is clear that large diamonds of peerless quality are relatively rare and priced accordingly.
PRESENCETiffany & Co. has additional diamond quality standards
that go beyond the 4Cs. Precision of cut reflects the high level of skill that a diamond cutter has shown in creating a beautifully scintillating
Tiffany diamond. Symmetry refers to perfectly proportioned cuts that rule out the appearance of off-center tables and culets, misshapen facets
and wavy or nonparallel girdles and tables. A diamond’s high polish grade helps ensure that a diamond’s beauty is accentuated and not compromised.
In Tiffany’s relentless pursuit of diamond beauty, we insist upon superior polish, symmetry and precision of cut.
