So... the standards cannot be all that different, at least for the pieces produced in series. The business models are a bit different (less "entry products" at Cartier) but otherwise, I would have a hard time naming a winner. I would call Cartier more austere in style - but this about taste, not quality. Most likely both firms are making errors every now and then since there have been complaints about the products and service of both right here (a crooked Cartier solitaire and unexpectedly long delivery time from Tiffany... if you have the patience to dig the PS archive, I just happened to remember these two). Hope this helps, Ana Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]
