[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do folks have multiple designer pieces like this? They buy them. Because they have a lot of money and can, or because they are status obsessed and put it on a credit card or simply prioritize it over other things. Lots of people are getting used pieces online as well at places like The Real Real. And some women just garner a lot of gifts.

I do have some Tiffany pieces (a heart toggle bracelet bought for me by a boyfriend 25 yrs ago, lol, and the olive leaf ring in silver bought by my husband a few years ago). But most of my fine jewelry, the stuff that has been bought in the DMV anyway, has come from Quest. I love that place. Compare the price of a similar gold bracelet there to what you looked at at Tiffany. I mean, once you compare high quality jewelry from a a place like Quest with Tiffany, at Tiffany you are paying for branding. Some people want to do that, some don't. Quest has made multiple custom pieces for me.

But if you want recognition, you buy Tiffany, Vc & A, DY, etc.

Is it worth it? For lots of people, yes. For most people, no.

If it helps, [b]mass-market Tiffany is how Tiffany survived -- marketing at MC people. So if you think of it that way, maybe you won't covet it anymore. It's MC jewelry for people who want to think they are UC.[/b] [/quote]

This.  [b]Their diamonds are hugely overpriced, [/b]and a lot of what they sell is just junk.  Junk made out of gold, but still junk.

This. And they do in-house grading to avoid GIA. I would never buy a Tiffany diamond. Would you get an extremely poor cut? Probably not. Can you get a much better cut (and therefore a much more beautiful diamond) elsewhere for significantly less? Yes. [/quote]
