That's what I was going to say, df. You are looking at around 50K for a Tiffany Lucida with those specs. Ouch.Date: 11/9/2006 10:55:19 PM

I think it could be up tpo 45,000 or so? I might be high but diamond prices are supposed to be up now...
Your details are so specific, I wonder if you are looking at a particular ring that an individual is selling (because if you saw the ring at Tiffany''s you should already know the price). If so, go to Tiffany''s to see how much they are charging for similar rings. Then look at Signed Pieces (http://www.signedpieces.com/search.cfm?vendor_id=43) to see what kind of discount they give from the original price when selling used Tiffany pieces (used prices look to be 45-60% of the original price).Date: 11/9/2006 9:29:50 PM

Hi,
I am new to pricescope and would appreciate some expert advise on a Tiffany Lucida cut diamond.
2.9 carats, e color, vvs2 clarity, cut and symmetry as very good, with GIA certification.
Any idea of what a good price would be? Thanks.
Or even more!!Date: 11/9/2006 11:02:20 PM

Okay that brings up a good point. Why would a LUCIDA authentic branded Tiffany stone be sold on eBay by itself? Surely it's worth more with the Tiffany setting as well, if it REALLY is a Tiffany Lucida and not just an unbranded cut cornered square they are trying to pass off as a Lucida. I would NOT touch this stone with a ten foot pole and esp not for $50k.Date: 11/10/2006 1:57:49 AM

Unmounted 50K+ stone on Ebay? I see disaster at hand. Don't do it, just don't do it.
Don''t do it!!!
One of the cool parts of owning Tiffany jewelry is being able to bring it into a Tiffany store for servicing. Since you won''t have the setting, I don''t think you will be able to do this. Without the complete ring, why bother? Get an unbranded stone...or a smaller complete ring. Check with Signed Pieces periodically...you never know when they will get a complete one in.
SP as far as I can tell is very safe, all Signed Pieces come with the original documents, certs etc... It''s a great way to get a Tiffany ring, at about half the cost. I have bought from them, but from the facets collection, eternity bands... Maybe call them on Monday and give them the heads up as to what you are looking for and if they come across one they can give you a call, and give you the first shot at it?? Worth a try at least. Good luck!!Date: 11/10/2006 8:33:57 PM

Ok, I guess I will have to give up on it. How safe is signed pieces? Are their prices good and authentic? I can take them into Tiffany''s and they''ll be able to take care of it?
oh at least.... it was 65k for an H VS2 2.5 roundDate: 11/9/2006 10:55:19 PM

maybe they stole the ring and pried it out of the setting because it said "forever yours, love michael" in it or something... I dunno... sketchy sketchy... if it sounds too good to be true it likely is....Date: 11/10/2006 6:53:47 PM

Supposedly the situation is this with the seller, who is some third party seller on Ebay, with a good feedback reputation too.
The original sellers bought it for 84k two years ago. Now they need money, so they''re just selling the stone because they need the money. They still have the original tiffany platinum mounting to keep as a memory and they mounted a cz on it.
I called Tiffany and they don''t want to have anything to do with it, obviously since it''s a very good price compared with their prices. Their prices for something like this is over 100k! If I''m buying second hand, which I don''t care, I''m saving a lot of money. The original owner isn''t willing to give up the original setting, and this is the only way Tiffany would even look at it, as each one is stamped with a special code or something...I''m stuck and don''t know what to do. My intuition says don''t get yourself in this mess, but I''m saving a lot of money and getting a really great diamond that I''ve always wanted...
