18K White Gold & 14K Yellow Gold. Featuring 1.60 Carat Round Faceted Tourmaline.
Faceting looks promising on these stones
I've bought several pieces of jewelry on TRR, but I can't imagine buying something that's over a certain price-point because of the very poor customer service I've received every single time. I'm not exactly sure what that price point would be, but perhaps $10K? Small chunk change in the scheme of high-quality jewelry (though perhaps to some, the $300,000 diamond is pocket change).
I went into my local Houston TRR boutique recently, and they required me to give them my drivers license to see small-ish stuff. I know it wasn't personal, but it still made me feel "dirty", like I was going to abscond with their scuffed trinkets. (I had just come from VCA where I got to try on the Snowflake earrings without anyone batting an eye and they gave me chocolates and bubbly during the process. They knew I wasn't there to buy something so expensive, but they wanted to make me feel like a princess, and to keep me in love with the brand, which they succeeded in doing.)
In stark contrast, the TRR SA was beyond stuuuuupid and extremely condescending. At one point, I asked very politely to see the Elsa Peretti bone cuff in silver, pointing to the bangle in the case. The SA said, "oh noooo, honey, that's TIFFANY!!!" Her tone was one of schooling a country bumpkin.
