"Knock Off" Opinions

[RoseAngel04]

So ever since we got engaged I knew that I wanted these

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11000724&search=toasting%20flutes&Sp=S&Mo=0&cm_re=1-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&N=0&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=All&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=toasting%20flutes&Ntt=toasting%20flutes&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1

And $235 is the cheap price...it''s normally $330 @ the Swarvoski store. So I know this is A LOT of money for toasting flutes but I''d decieded that if noone got them for us that I''d splurge and get them for myself.

Well on ebay I found out that Lenox use to make a pair almost identicle to these that Swarvoski asked them to discontinue. How messed up is that?! UGH! Anyways...the wonderful world of ebay is selling them and I want ya''ll opinion on if you think they look close enough and as pretty. Honestly!

Here''s the Lenox ebay link...

They look almost identical to me. I''d go for it!

I agree. I can''t tell the difference

Rose Angel...are there pics of your e-ring IN DETAIL somewhere? Love it.

Thanks ladies for the replies! I know there will be a slight difference and that they''d be real crystal in the Swarvoski ones, but for that price difference I don''t think it really matters!

FI told me FMIL thought about buying the $335 pair but couldn''t imagine putting that amount of money into toasting flutes. So I''m going to email her and cc FI with what I found and hope that I get them sometime in the next few months. If not and it''s close to the wedding date I''ll purchase them for myself, but I''d prefer for someone else to buy them for us. I just hope that the Lenox one''s aren''t gone by that time!
