Tiffany and Co.

[Anonymous]

Are the engagement rings or wedding bands worth the cost of the mark up for the name?

Who has a Tiffany and Co. engagement ring that wears it regularly? Would money be better spent buying a Tiffany style ring with a nicer stone and less expensive?

1.22 F VS1 Tiffany and Co. = $18,900

1.22 F VS1 Other jewelers = $10,503

OMG no.

Oh my. You need to figure out a whole bunch of things that include the cost of branding the the reputation of the competitors.

OP. Honest question because I have lots of Tiffany pieces and I love their collection but when it comes to the rings, I have a much harder time justifying the cost difference for something similar elsewhere. Especially since Tiffany doesn't offer a GIA cert, just in-house cert. which the customer is expected to take for accuracy.

The short answer is: No, it's not worth it.

You can get MUCH better for your money, across the "c's" by shopping elsewhere.

A Tiffany design will hold up. A solitaire? No way.

First, read around on pricescope.com

Then, go to James Allen. Or Tiffany. But only with more knowledge.

Do not buy at Tiffany...get a bigger stone...the ring gets smaller as you age!

Well the one plus about Tiffany is that you will have an easier time reselling than other brands.

Yeah. The retained value makes it not a completely stupid choice. I personally would still choose a high HCA round for that purpose though.

Not looking to resell the diamond or the bands. If there are kids, the rings would be passed on.

Instead of investing in a Tiffany setting, I'd invest in a better (not necessarily bigger) stone.

I have a Tiffany wedding band. It still looks like new after 10 years. I love the feel of the gold. I'm not a jewelry expert by any means, but it's easily my favorite piece of jewelry to wear.
