It is well known that fake pieces abound on eBay. The other issue is, after you've paid a premium for Tiffany, if you want or need to resell them, people are going to demand proof that they are real or they won't buy. I think you would be better off buying for quality, size, cut, clarity rather than being influenced by a pale blue box. Tiffany isn't going to issue you with "proof" so you can sure you have real Tiffany earrings and have a piece of paper to show a potential buyer if you need to resell them. And just for your Information, the land of the replica these days even issue fake receipts along with their fake products. Scary and why I would never buy a "designer piece" on eBay.

If you are in the US you will have to factor in the exchange rate to dollars and the import tax- pound to dollar rate is pretty low right now (1.24 i think) which will already make this just over 3K. Then with import, maybe a 300-500 more? I don't know what the original price is, would it still be worth it?

Hi Dolly, I appreciate you helping me with this. I'm in Australia (even worse!!!) but to buy these brand new from Tiffany here its $8500 AUD and these come in at $4400 AUD when converted plus feels so lets just say $5k so I'm saving $3500 - saying that, Id negotiate a bit anyway.
My main concern again is not knowing this seller, they have an account here, they have a website and they sell on ebay too.
