Tiffany mount
A Tiffany mount or Tiffany setting is a set of prongs (called a claw, crown, or coronet) 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. (This is most often done just before getting married, to move the diamond into a wedding set of wedding band and engagement ring that are matched and often locked together.)
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.
==Tiffany & Co. trademark lawsuit==
In February 2013 Tiffany & Co. filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Costco Wholesale Corp. over Costco's practice of selling engagement rings described using the "Tiffany" trademark that were not made or licensed by Tiffany & Co. In its defense, Costco asserted that it did not infringe because the terms "Tiffany" and "Tiffany setting" were genericized by common usage to describe a particular style of engagement ring. However, on September 8, 2015 a federal judge ruled in favor of Tiffany & Co., rejecting Costco's generic use argument and finding that Costco's usage of the "Tiffany" name violated Tiffany & Co.'s trademark rights.
