First, I suppose I should know better, but I am trying to save a little bit of money, and get my favourite brand (please no brand bashing-I am aware I can get larger, prettier studs for less and I may still)
Anyway, today was one of my FIRST (FIRST FIRST) days out since my cancer treatment. Literally (of course, it drizzled). But I was happy to be out. I treated myself to a cab, and an hour of fresh air. I went looking for a wedding band (Plain, in expensive non-branded given non fit after steroids). BUT I did find 1.5cttw Tiffany studs in the window. They were pretty.
I felt they were calling to be tried on (even if I had a pale, slightly puffy worn face). So I did
And they looked GREAT.
They were from early 2000; came with the original leather folder, the valuation, the two certs…everything…..G, VVS…..75ct each. They looked huge on me. I felt, well, special. Combined that with my ring, and I felt like I was really sparkling (I know, cliche0.
There was an issue though- the hallmarks. SO maybe some could chime in. The posts were older (and said T & Co, so that there, yes). The girdle was not laser inscribed (I believe this started later 2000 or maybe even 2004??? not 100% sure. That didn't necessarily bother me, due to the date either..
But the Sku was not there. No Sku on the mounting. I know for a while they were not listed on Tiffany pieces either- does anyone know when Tiffany began this? I called and got no accurate answer. Figured perhaps a wise Pricescoper knew more than a "new associate".
Again, it came with all paperwork,and the diamond using the loupe and other measures seem to match (to the best of our ability the certs)…..
Any advice is appreciated……
