I''ve been researching diamond engagement rings for some time now. I''m a smart shopper and don''t want to throw away money so I started out by shopping at local jewelry stores and searching for loose diamonds through Pricescope. I ended up at Tiffany''s, which is where we''ll purchase my engagement ring. I am not a moron who stumbled into Tiffany''s b/c she didn''t know any better and was attracted to some fancy blue box. I could care less about the name engraved on the inside of my band which no one will ever see. And I don''t intend to brag to people that I got my ring at Tiffany. Not all people who shop at Tiffany are lazy or uneducated about diamonds. I''m well educated about diamonds and that''s exactly why I went to Tiffany.
When you walk in, it is a pleasure to shop at their store. In my experience at two different Tiffany stores, the salespeople were not at all pushy and were even suggesting some less expensive rings that fit better on my finger. Additionally, Tiffany has a 6 month interest free payment plan, which none of the other jewelry stores I went into offered. And I can walk into any Tiffany anywhere in the world and they''ll clean my ring. A local jeweler, on the other hand, might go out of business, or move, or pass away and then you''re left with nothing. These are the things that are important to me, and the reason I went to Tiffany.
I went into Tiffany thinking I''d never be able to afford anything and I ended up finding my perfect ring for less than I had budgeted. I''m getting a shared-setting half-circle platinum ring with 7 round brilliant diamonds G VS for a total carat weight of .91. The ring is $5400. Is that overpriced? If so, I may have found the same ring online for a little less money, but I''d rather make a major purchase from a live person than over the internet and know that the place I bought it from will be around for at least another 175 years.
