just beware...just because it is 6-prong and a knife edge does not mean it is a true tiffany setting. You really need to look at the basket that the diamond sits in.
When you say tiffany setting many jewelers will try and sell you just a 6 prong basket and that is not correct
The first pic is from blue nile a 6-prong setting. The second is the side view of THE Tiffany setting from their website.
A regular 6-prong will have trouble fitting a wedding band with it because the basket starts directly at the base. The Tiffany sits ontop of the base and is more like a clam shell not a claw.
This is what you should be looking for if you go to another jeweler and ask for Tiffany settings.
Good info. Its funny but I actually prefer the 1st setting to the 2nd one (tiffany one)... LOL

Check out www.whiteflash.com
It is a reputable company (I've seen it in many magazines). My fiance and I looked at diamonds in one particular store in (Jared's in PA)...we didn't like any of the settings at all!
I was looking for a setting similar to the Cartier and Tiffany settings...some people had suggested Whiteflash and my fiance ended up ordering the setting from there. I LOVE it...it's perfect...they have a Tiffany setting option...actually, they have 4 different types of tiffany settings....you will save a ton of money, too.
Mine is the platinum 'fine line' setting. I've gotten SO many completements on the setting alone...
i second this, whiteflash made my wedding band, they are excellent! and because they are located in texas...no tax!

Re: Classic Tiffany Setting
Also real Tiffany settings are not high, the fact that they aren't high is one of the trademark differences, so well highlighted in that example photo a couple of posts above.
