Opinions on this Tiffany diamond

That is amazing! The pictures are beautiful. The #'s look good too. The crown angle is the most important angle to have. The pav depth % works fine for HCA. HCA score of 1.0 is EXCELLENT.

Good luck, everything sounds like it checked out okay. Did you have it appraised to be sure of color etc? Did it come with the standard Tiffany paperwork>?

Congrats!

Mike, beautiful ring. Congratulations on the purchase. I agree with you, in general Tiffany knockoffs are missing that certain something that the real thing has.

Question: You said that if you bought the ring second hand, you wouldn't be able to trade up. I'm looking at the possibility of buying a 2nd hand tiffany ring, including all original documentation and paperwork, as well as the original receipt. I'm assuming that this would entitle me to trade up in the future. If not, why not? Did you specifically ask at Tiffany? And how would they ever know?

Thanks.

Stewie,
The man I almost purchased the ring from informed me of the policy and TCO confirmed it as well when I called them. You may be able to fool them as long as they do not ask to see your ID to prove that you are the registered owner of the ring. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting.
Mike

Stunning!! That is a very beautiful ring!

BTW, how did you take those amzing pictures?

I actually just used a sony camcorder that has a memory stick to take still pictures. I am impressed with the pictures myself as the camera does not even have a macro setting and it is only 1 megapixel.

Damn, that is a nice looking ring. Amazing pictures. Please post more.

Those pictures truly show the difference between the real Tiffany Classic setting and some copies I've seen online. It's in the prongs. For some reason that I can't quite describe, the real Tiffany prongs look more pleasing to the eye. I think it's because the prongs are more angled outwards from side view.

I'm getting a copy made myself as we speak. I checked the workmanship of the guy by examining one he's already made. Pretty close, i must say. But when I take close up pictures, that's when I'll be able to tell.

Anyway, congratulations. I would have bought the real thing if I had some more money. But, I think my superbcert will do just fine!

post more pics!
