Ok, this is terribly enabling of me, and I know not everyone is going to agree with me…but I think you should go for the Tiffany earrings Smith! You first mentioned them a while ago, and you are still talking about them, and thinking about them, and you seem to just really like them a lot…so I think you should go for it! If they are going to give you a good feeling every time you put them on, I say it's worth it :devil: It sounds like you've put a big effort in trying to find another pair, but you're just not finding anything you like better…so maybe that's a sign they are the earrings for you!


OK, yesterday I had the opportunity to view lots of jewellery by Gurhan and Bicego. I was in Saks and they have cases and cases of jewellery by those two in Boston.

I was hoping to like some of the Bicego earrings as they have some drops for $640.

However....I just didn't like the Gurhan or Bicego stuff as much as those gold Tiffany earrings for 1k.

So, having started about three threads on them asking "are they worth it" over the last year, and having looked absolutely everywhere for cheaper gold dangly earrings, I have decided that I WILL buy them sometime next year. Got an expensive season coming up complete with transatlantic trip and still have to book my flight, so I'm not going to get them right now. But sometime next year, I will give in and buy them, because there is simply nothing else I like as much, and I've looked for a year and a half since I first saw them. I wonder whether to wait until the tax-free weekend in August....these earrings escaped the last price rise, so they may not escape the inevitable rise that will happen between now and then, surely.

Anyway, I've agonised over that price tag, but like I said, there is nothing I like half as much anywhere else.

Smith - those are lovely, and IMHO well worth saving for. Quit trying to make do with some other pair that couldn't possibly measure up, and start saving! That's an order! :wink2:

this is so true.
I call it "settling for less".
it is my own personal lesson.
better to save the $ and put it towards what will satisfy your desire than to keep throwing $ at things that won't.

Hi Smith,

I just caught up on the thread and saw the earrings you love. I love them too, and they are perfect for your face. That design is wonderful. I think they will look great on you.

Ha ha VRBeauty and MZ! The Pricescopers hath spoken. The earrings, they shall be mine.

My dad asked me the other day just who I'm going to pass all my jewellery on to (yet ANOTHER veiled reference meaning: Am I ever going to get grandkids out of you? :roll: ) so I told him I'm leaving it to the Indian orphans I plan to adopt, or if they don't like the look of me, I'm going to be buried with all my treasures like an Iron Age princess. Then, when I'm dug up a thousand years from now, they'll think I was someone really important. :lol:

Thanks, Annette! I did a thread on them a while ago and a few people said they didn't think much of them. I also didn't pick them out - it was my SA who said they would suit me, and I think she's right. So yeah, I'm gonna get 'em next year. :Up_to_something: Thanks for the input!

Well, you certainly won't get an argument from me! :D As much as I joke about enabling, I honestly wouldn't recommend that you buy them if I didn't think it was the right move. I can just tell you really love them!

It all boils down to personal preference, and I'm glad you're not going to let a few opinions deter you …FWIW I think they are really beautiful - I do feel Tiffany has some really lovely designs and this is one of them!

Yes, although designer brands can be heinously expensive, they sometimes have their more reasonably-priced pieces which are also heavy, and they can represent a great value of quality, style, customer service and luxury.

Well said.

Thanks, Junebug! You've always been supportive of this purchase! :lol:

Thanks! It's true that if you look, there ARE some pieces which aren't going to break the bank considering the style and fame of the brand. For example, the Cartier Trinity rings are about $1,150 for a substantial-looking width.
