Hey AJ, I believe it means "No further text"...which also explains why there is nothing written in the box

YES..they do, I find their watches are priced right!! I''ve bought a few pieces from Costco, and have been quite happy with my purchases!!

Don''t visit there very often, but when I do I''ve seen some nice pieces.

cheers--Sharon

I think one of the new channels programs like 20/20 did an expose on how a Tiffany diamond solitaire compares to Costco. The gemologist couldn''t really spot a noticable difference, which means with Tiffany you''re paying for the name, customer service and prestige and design (which everyone copies anyways). I saw a $25,000 sapphire ring at Costco which to me was nice, but not worth $25,000. It was probably 3 carats and the IGI cert didn''t mention anything about treatments so I assume it was heated. It reminded me of a man made sapphire, nice and clean, but nothing to knock your socks off. I think they overcharge on some things.

Costco does have some cute stuff. I wouldn''t buy an eng. ring or any serious jewelry, like studs or anything, but their little $500 and under stuff is fun.

I love Costco and I have seen some great jewelry there and they have a great return policy. I still don''t think costco can beat the price and value you will find at the online vendors. I don''t think I will ever shop for diamond jewelry at another B&M store after finding pricescope and the online vendors recommended on pricescope.

Most definitely!! There is NO way anyone could tell the difference between a Tiffany engagement ring, and very similar designed one from a GREAT jeweler.
(unless they took it off your finger and looked for the stamp). Hell..I''ve had a few people compliment me of my "Tiffany jazz" band, and I just say "thank-you"..goes to show that on your hand at a distance, it looks pretty much the same!(what they don''t know is that I paid $500 rather than $2500!) I wouldn''t be able to tell the difference between a Tiffany e-ring, and a replica from Whiteflash, Leon, or Costco for that matter. Costco''s diamonds are all VS quality (at our store anyway), and a lot less than crappier diamonds sold by chain stores in the mall, so I wouldn''t hesitate to buy a diamond engagement ring from Costco.

Ya, I have a Tiffany diamond ring and my mom has a Costco diamond ring. Both are exactly the same size and mounted in platinum. We compared many times and agree they''d make a pair of perfectly matched earrings.

Good to keep in mind when I need some more bling!
