Al Bisher & Al Kazemi Unveil Sparkling Preview Collection

Kuwait City, Kuwait, 5 December 2011--Tiffany & Co., the world's diamond authority, is offering its legendary diamond engagement rings in Kuwait for the first time. The launch marks a milestone development for the luxury jeweler in Kuwait and brings to the city a collection of some of the most brilliant diamonds in the world. The special collection can now be viewed by appointment at Tiffany & Co. boutiques in Kuwait City.

Throughout its 174-year history, Tiffany has been renowned for the incomparable quality of its diamonds. The jeweler outshines all others with the sheer charisma of what are, measurably and demonstrably, the world's finest diamonds, mounted in exquisite platinum or 18karat gold settings.

"Our collection of engagement rings underscores Tiffany's reputation as the premiere diamond jeweler," said Laurent Cathala, Tiffany vice president of emerging markets. "Each piece represents a heritage of unmatched quality and a legacy of romance that has been shared by generations of couples."

"We are very excited to introduce Tiffany's diamond engagement rings," said George Kalaydjian, Jewellery Division Manager of Al Bisher & Al Kazemi, Tiffany's partner in Kuwait. "Wherever you travel in the world, a Tiffany diamond ring is the ultimate symbol of true love and lifetime commitment."

Only two per cent of all gem-quality diamonds meet Tiffany's exacting standards. Over the past 174 years, the company has fashioned the elite of stones into the most innovative designs, many of which are now available in Kuwait City.

They include the renowned Tiffany® Setting, the world's most famous and admired engagement ring style. Introduced in 1886, this six-prong setting lifts the diamond up into the light away from the band, where its precise faceting can release its superior brilliance.

Lucida® is one of the rare patented diamond cuts in the world, with a setting of clean, sensuous curves. The diamond's square mixed-cut shape, with wide corners, combines the classic elegance of a step-cut crown and a brilliant-cut pavilion.

Tiffany Legacy® features a cushion-cut diamond surrounded by bead-set diamonds and handcrafted milgraining that clearly evoke the glamour of the Edwardian period.

Tiffany Novo is a brilliant cushion-cut creation with spirit, fire and style. Mounted on four sleek, tapered prongs, this dazzling ring was inspired by the faceting of the famed Tiffany Diamond.

Tiffany Celebration® band rings are a popular option for engagement rings, as well as wedding bands. Customers may choose from round, princess cut or pavé diamonds, or combine diamonds with colorful gemstones. More band rings may be added to honor anniversaries or any special occasion, creating a dazzling statement of both style and great personal meaning.

Tiffany diamonds are cut for brilliance with utmost precision and set within customized mountings to accommodate their specific size and shape. In addition, the diamonds are set in platinum, which complements the diamond's high color grade as well as strongly secures the stone in its setting.

Tiffany's diamond standards were established by company founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, who became the trusted source of the world's most brilliant gems. Now as then, nothing makes hearts beat faster than these rarest of stones wrapped in the Tiffany Blue Box®, a symbol of excellence worldwide.
