Someone I know who works for Tiffany shared this info with me…
“The Novo (��‚��”to make a new��‚�? in latin) is the first cushion brilliant cut diamond engagement ring to be launched. It just hit Tiffany stores this month.
What differentiates Tiffany Novo from typical cushion cuts is that it is brilliant versus modified brilliant. Tiffany worked at great length to create a cushion cut diamond that features the standard round brilliant facet arrangement. It’s been cut to maximum brilliance, ie. same number of facets as a round brilliant cut. The shank is bead set with 16 round melee diamonds. Opening price point is $2810. There are matching diamond weddings bands that come in 18k yellow gold, 18k rose gold and platinum. (This is also the first time Tiffany is doing rings in 18k rose gold— most retailers do not offer rose gold)
Tiffany is the leader in the diamond industry in practicing the Kimberly process. They believe in giving their customers assurance that the diamonds sold by them are conflict free.”
For any of you who’s been looking at rings, I think this one is quite a looker. ^_^
I heard that Tiffany’s get their diamonds from Canada so that they can say it’s “conflict-free” but in fact the diamonds are initially still from Africa’s conflicted areas.
i’m drooling over the design, i am. and i love the rose gold!
it is gorgeous. i love cushion cuts!
I love this. I had a few requirements for my ring. One was that it not be brilliant cut or “round” as I say. So, I got a cushion or Ascher cut. I was told that originally it was used to disguise flaws, but is coming back into popularity.
Other requirements were that it be white gold and yellow gold together and just a ring without a band, although, now, I wish I had gotten this with two bands–one in each color.
holy shit, i think i’m in love!
I’m such a dork. My first thought was: their Latin is faulty.
Novo = I make new / refresh
Novare = To make new / refresh
Tiffany and Co. along with various other jewlers work very hard to eliminate conflict diamonds, however it is almost impossible to totally eliminate them. This is due to the fact that these stones are already in the market place and are unmarked. A lot of diamond deals may not even know they have conflict diamons in their posession. TCO has their own mines which are in canada and they do get a large number of stones from those mines. They have been instrumental in the fight on conflict diamons and were heavily involved in the development of the Kimberly process. http://www.kimberleyprocess.com/site/background.html
one can only dream!! thank goodness there’s something new out there!

I love this setting. I can’t get over the elegance of this ring. Oh, I can only dream.
My girlfriend will love it!
This is an absolutely beautiful ring. My boyfriend recently asked me “If I were to ask you to marry me, what kind of ring would you want?” Ok so he’s not into complete surprises but this is the ring. Just unsure though. Diamonds used to be a symbol of luxury, now they seem to be a symbol of greed, excess and to a degree arrogance. Urgh, sure is pretty though.
How much in total will the novo cost? i’m not talking bout the peremeter price but the actual total cost…..?
IM IN LOVE. I ALWAYS HAD AN IDEA OF WHAT MY ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING BAND WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. BUT THIS RING BLEW EVERYTHING OUT THE WATER! OMG.. MY HABIBI BETTER GET IT FOR ME.LOL
I picked out this ring too but my boyfriend is having it custom made by his jeweler. I’d recommend this since T&CO is definitely overpriced and you should by diamonds loose anyways which you can’t do at T&CO. Most jewelers will do this. Just send them the pic and find the diamond and they’ll take it from there! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Starry eyed- have you seen the ring yet? my boyfriend is doing the exact same thing and i can’t wait to see it/get engaged!
ok. i was recently proposed to. my now-fiance got me the tiffany novo and i absolutely love it. i have never seen anything so beautiful in my life. i can’t stop looking at it.
anyway, NO CUSTOM JEWELLER can make this ring. first of all, ONLY TIFFANY knows how to make a BRILLIANT CUSHIONS. other cushions are NOT brilliant. so if u don’t pay the T&Co premium price, you’re getting exactly what u paid for - just another normal cushion.
i think it’s kinda dumb how tiffany only made the wedding band in rosegold and no engagement ring in rosegold. if i get the rosegold wedding band, it won’t match my platinum engagement ring!
I love this ring. I showed it to my boyfriend and he think it’s a beauty. I hope that I will receive this ring someday. It is gorgeous! The beauty of this ring is undeniable and nothing else compares. Wish me luck ladies. Congrats to those engaged with this ring!
Does this ring really start from $2800 that sounds cheap as that works out at about £1600 pounds? And people say starting whats the variance?
