tiffany channel set eternity ring with square step-cuts

[chickpea]

i''ve always liked the look of this ring, and recently came across one in my size, pre-owned.

at Tiffany, it retails for over $5K (i''m not partial to the Tiffany name and wouldn''t pay their prices

)

any opinions on whether it''s reasonably priced, pre-owned, at 2,700? (too good to pass up?)
or could I have one made custom for less? are square step-cuts (not asschers) hard to come by? i''ve seen lots of this style but with princess cuts, which are not my favorite...

I''d rather have the Tiffany if you can be 100% sure it is authentic and returnable if you don''t like the condition. But here are some new asscher bands:

That ring is very pretty and $2700 doesn''t seem bad if you can verify it is the real thing.

i don't think it comes with original papers or a box, but the inside of the band was engraved with their name. does tiffany verify second-hand merchandise? (if so, is it expensive?)

Its funny how SP identify their square step-cuts as Asscher''s..., (i think only the upper left are actual Asscher''s)

interesting observation, diagem! the majority of the rings pictured on that page are the square step-cuts like the tiffany version, and not asschers as listed. i didn''t look closely enough to notice, and i''m glad you pointed it out - i prefer the square step-cuts to the asschers and am glad to know signed pieces is an option for that style (with great prices too!)

diamondseeker, i should send thanks your way too, for providing the link to begin with!

I would get the Tiffany one as that price is not bad at all. I am not 100% certain, but I am pretty sure that Tiffany will authenticate second hand merchandise. I am not sure if there is a cost or how much that might be.
