EGADS!! -- TIFFANY thread resurrected

[lisa1.01fvs1]

What would PS be w/o a Tiffany thread. I''ll gladly accept a stoning

.

My brother just bought a Mercedes even though it started making a "ping" sound right away.

He says he doesn''t care.

I guess I can apply all this new PS knowledge when the upgrade comes.

Let the stoning commence!

Lisa

Phew...I thought that I was missing something!

 

[lisa1.01fvs1]

Anyone purchase from Tiffany lately and simply adore or regret it? Especially after being on PS for any length of time.

Sorry if the Mercedes analogy was vague.

 

[sevens one]

I''ll take a stab....

I think Lisa is comparing a Mercedes to a Tiffany diamond. (top of the line)
Her brother is already having problems with his car but doesn''t care because
it''s a Mercedes.

So I guess her Tiffany upgrade will come with its own "ping sound" and she
won''t care either.

Uh huh------

Actually, I was hoping to do better the second time around.

Ouch, guess PS is the right place to get stoned.

lisa,

are you regretting it? all of the tiffany owners we have here seem to love their rings. yes, they know they could have gotten a better deal somewhere else, but to most of them, there is something special about the magical bluebox and the customer service they receive by going into the store. PS isn''t anti-tiffany''s, folks here just don''t want people thinking Tiffany is the only place that sells the best stones, that you can get equal or better stones other places.

Lisa, you were the one that put that "ping sound" nonsense out there about your
brother''s car. What''s a gal to think?

What''s so bad about your current solitaire?

No one is stoning you...I think we really just don''t understand what you''re asking!

I didn''t get your post either, was confused as to what you were asking, so ditto

 

[Angel7]

I saw this in Rocky Talk and didn''t comment there because I didn''t know what to say, glad I''m not losing it....

Sorry if you are unhappy with your ring...maybe some elaboration is in order?

 

[Mara]

wait did you want to be stoned? i''m confused. if so *tosses stone* there ya go!

just trying to help!!

if not...then what was the point of the thread? to just say that you plan to upgrade at some point at tiff''s? if so, awesome! we would love to see pictures. otherwise, i feel like i''m missing something.

while i wish it was friday, i didn''t know we used to have tiffany tuesdays.

 

[LitigatorChick]

Okay, let''s start over here. We are all very confused. What''s up???

Hiya Lisa!

I haven''t purchased from Tiffany at all

however, there is a bangle that I am eyeing up and I think that if I actually went through with it that I would simply adore it despite the fact that my wallet would not.

Have you purchased something lately? If so, are you adoring it or regretting it?
If not ... are you eyeing up something as well and considering getting it at Tiffany for the premium price or getting a replica?

"Anyone purchase from Tiffany lately and simply adore or regret it? Especially after being on PS for any length of time."

OK now I get it! I eyeball Tiff stuff sometimes but I would never buy there unless I absolutely could NEVER find it anywhere else and absolutely REALLY wanted it. Since that's never going to be a plain stone or similar, it would only be a setting or a designer piece or something.

But for basics...no way. My friend wanted a sapphire and diamond eternity ring to celebrate her baby boy's birth. She priced it at Tiff for $7k. She got the same thing made by an online jeweler for $3k and got BIGGER diamonds and sapphires. And better cut quality too.

But seriously I just have the biggest issue paying such a friggin isano markup. There is this ring that I love to look at but I *know* it costs like LESS than 1/3 to make it. Sure I believe in design work being worth something, but that much over and over for every piece? I just personally don't want to pay it.

Quite frankly, to me this is a moot point. This Tiff thing has been asked SO many times before. You can just search archives and find the same answers people on here will give in this thread too. People feel the way they do for a reason, most likely feel strongly about it, and typically that doesn't change just because a thread wasn't posted uber-recently.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Many of my dear little friends came from T & Co. I don''t regret buying anything from there.

 

[mrssalvo]

ok, just went back and Lisa''s ring is from Tiffany''s and apparently doesn''t meet the PS 2% specs most pricescoper''s seek out. so it that the deal Lisa? you''re second guessing b/c your tiffany ring doesn''t fall into PSland ideal?

No. I''m over this, really.

Didn''t mean to confuse or offend anyone here thought I''d just see what folks had to say.

I guess I should have waited for Friday

Ok I''m still not 100% sure what the point of this thread is but I''ll bite anyway. I have a tiffany ring and I adore it. Really and truly it is my dream ring and although I see a lot of beautiful rings on PS, to me, there is no ring like my baby.

Lisa - I think people are unsure of what you are asking or what you want to hear. Perhaps if you elaborated more people could chime in on your question/problem/thread. Is there a question you have about your ring or a problem with it?
Please ask away..no stones!

 

[Gypsy]

We don''t throw stones. Okay, well a few of us have lobbed a few in our time here... but Tiffany doesn''t provoke it.

I don''t have anything from Tiffany. I''ve been in the store, and a few of their more unique colored rings and earrings have caught my eye, but I ask the price and I about have a heart attack. On the other hand, there was a ruby ring at Cartier, that if I had the money for (300K) I would have bought in a heart beat.

My point is, if it''s something really unique and a statement peice, yes, I would buy from Tiffany or Cartier if I could afford to. But if it''s something I could get someplace else, no I''m not that into the name to pay the mark up.

But everyone is different.

Ha Ha sorry to burst your bubble (and mine really) but in 2.5 hours it will be Thursday...not Friday. GAH! Darn 5 day weeks!

 

[HeartingDiamonds]

Ha-ha! Mara, I actually rushed logging on to find this thread to correct myself

!

Sometimes, you just wanna skip Thursday altogether, doncha?

OK -- So I made a complete mess of this darn Tiffany post and I''ll admit my confusion (and yours) is warranted because I am still attempting to wrap my little ole'' head around all the details (HCA, Sarin, ASET, AGS-000, Tokolwsky, H&A, Better H&A on WF, idealscope, helium, and on it goes.....)

The truth: I am regretting that I didn''t come more armed when we purchased THE RING although it is beautiful and it appears to fall within AGS Ideal and Gia Excellent grades for cut/polish/symmetry. And I hope to do better at utilizing all of PS''s OCD to my advantage in the future. I just don''t like feeling that I got caught with my pants sorta down

So -- Shay (you were right from the start to try & not turn into a complete "cut nut" but unfortunately the transformation has begun).

I guess I''m unplugged from the Matrix - DARN!

Here are the specs for those who haven''t seen the pics./post:

F/VS1/1.01ct.

TTL Depth: 61.9%
Table: 57%
Crwn Ht: 15.4%
Crown Angle: 35.2
Star Lgth: 55%
Pav. Depth: 43.3%
Pav. Angle: 40.9
LH Length: 75%
Girdle: Md-Slthk

6.43-6.46x3.99mm

A few beefs I have w/ Tiffany is that they didn''t plot the inclusions on the cert. and didn''t provide much of an answer as to why GIA cert. was no longer being included.

So I guess I''d better read

up and get armed when trade up time comes.

Aw Lisa! You have a beautiful Tiffany ring! Enjoy that beauty! I saw your thread, and I think your ring is lovely. I love your set.
Really, it''s just lovely, and a lot of people would love to be in your shoes.
ENJOY!

 

[Deelight]

Lisa your ring is beautiful

I really love Tiffany''s diamonds (I have tried on loads myself ) they all have loads of rainbows and sparkle and the settings are elegant , if someone gave me one I would be more over the moon.

Enjoy your sparklie of your new bobble lose yourself in the sparkles and let the rainbows mesmerize you .

It''s crazy! I''m getting so diamond-obsessed these days I think I need to go back to analysis.

There is like this wierd challenge thing going on here. Sorry if I sound like a whiney, snively, unappreciative person.

I love the set too!!! But its not about that. I think I should go the gem school and move on with my life
