Back in the day I bought a lot of things on the secondary market. I had a lot of situations like you are in where I hemmed and hawed. I had a rule for myself: I only bought when I was 100% certain. When something was the exact right combination of style and price, I never felt any hesitation! I pounced. So I guess I am saying: When in doubt, don't.

Dreamer has a good point here. You keep going back and forth on this so I wonder if there is something that stops you from the purchase. I too have learned to trust my gut instinct; it never lets me down. If it is not screaming to you, might be best to walk on by. Just a thought.

Great points by Dreamer and MissGotRocks. However @lovedogs has already been eyeing this up for a while before asking to try it on. Is it just the size and the not-usually-your-style that’s stopping you jumping on it? Most importantly do YOU actually love how the set looks on you?

I also wonder if the brand name is just a red herring at this point of decision-making as some of that probably feeds unconsciously into whether you love it or not ☺️

I had my phone lying on the dining room table and your last picture was open. My teenage daughter just passed by and said, “”Oh, I love that. It is so pretty!” And that was even before I told her it was Tiffany. ❤️

Great decision I love the size and look on you. Were you able to negotiate the price if it's not too bold to ask?
Congratulations!

I mean, for whatever it's worth, it looks lovely on your hand. I owned a solitaire with the same size diamond at one point and I loved it. **shrug** It's a classic look. One of my good friends in graduate school also had an e-ring this size and similar style, and I always noticed and admired her set.

**EDIT: I though you were still debating but I see you bought it! So Strike "for what it's worth" from the above and just read the rest!! :mrgreen2: I love it.

Not too bold! This is PS! :) yes, they took $100 off, so it was $1,050 before tax ($1130 something after tax). And since I'm not resizing until I have it on for a few days and am sure that I want to, I think it was a pretty good deal!

I really debated trying to recreate the look with a .4 or .5 stone, but quickly realized that even if the stone was moissanite, the platinum setting + band was at least $1500 before adding a stone. Cheapest version I could build from online vendors was 2100 (ranged from 2100-2500 for a diamond with preferred proportions). So realized that even if it's a tad smaller than I hoped, I LOVE the style so much and just wouldn't ever be able to recreate it for less. And finding a whole set like this is super rare, so I'm happy :)

Love it! There's nothing like a classic look and isn't it wonderful to have options?! I'd have at least four or five ER/wedding band sets if I could afford them. There are so many looks that I love. Enjoy wearing this. I'm glad you went for it. :mrgreen2:

I think it’s really pretty. Do you have any kids that it could maybe be a promise ring one day?

I am SO happy for you! I was hoping you would purchase it. What a special find... a treasure... your own piece of Tiffany (which, BTW, I think you should name her - her as in the collective set - “Tiffany”)! Looks fabulous on you. So iconic. I honestly think had you let this one go you would’ve surely regretted it.
