That''s a very nice looking ring, but the neither the look of the stamp nor the wording appear authentic.
Richard,
Thanks for your feedback. I would like Tiffany to take a look at this, but we have no Tiffany''s in Alaska. Looking at the feedbacks, I''ve gotten, I am getting my doubts that it is an authentic Tiffany''s ring, but looking at the seller''s feedbacks, I don''t think he did this intentionally. Maybe the gold, diamonds, and sapphire is real? Since you have a lot of knowledge, in your opinion, how much do you think this ring is worth? I''m not sure if I should just return the ring for a refund, or keep it and get part of my money back because I do really like the design.

You will most likely need to take it to independent appraiser in person. I will not answer for Rich, but perhaps this conclusion is too hard to reach from pics alone?Date: 8/24/2008 9:51:46 PM

Under resources at the top you can look up appraiser in your area. Good luck !
I agree with Richard...the design, and the wording dont feel right...also the color of the sapphire is fairly dark compared to the bright blue sapphire cabs ive seen in Tiffany & Co. jewelry.Date: 8/24/2008 9:51:46 PM

Did the seller furnish you with any details, such as the carat weights of the sapphire and diamonds, and quality of either?
If so, I could give you an approximate estimate of value if you''d email me the details. My email address is listed in the contact section of my website, which you can get to by clicking underneath my signature.
If there''s no details though, I''d just be shooting in the dark.
I''m with you. The seller probably doesn''t realize it isn''t genuine Tiffany, and is just going by the stamp. It''s probably an honest mistake.
Thanks so much for the logical information. Now, I can decide from here, what to do.Date: 8/25/2008 7:43:15 PM

Figuring the ring as non-Tiffany, and figuring the diamond grading is correct, and figuring the sapphire for ''good'' quality (not fine, but good), and figuring the carat weights are accurate, it looks like you bought the ring at a reasonable internet price, with it probably appraising out in the $2200 neighborhood.
This is with all the disclaimers of course that ''photo appraising'' with grading supplied by an unknown grader is fraught with pitfalls, etc.
Estimated Retail Range: 1900 to 2200
Estimated Retail ''Discount'' Pricing: 1600 to 1900
Estimated Internet Pricing: 1300 to 1600
If you like the ring you might consider keeping it. Maybe you could get the vendor to kick in a discount if the ring is found out to be non-Tiffany by an appraiser.
