So, I was "playing the game" on Jewelers Row (in Philadelphia) recently and was looking for a Valentine''s Day something for my special someone. 
I was curious as to what kind of response I would receive about a setting inquiry, so I proceeded to ask to see what they had in terms of a "Six Prong Classic Tiffany Setting." Now in my head this always refers to their RB, solitaire setting (you know the one!). I was lead to the rings and shown what was a Six Prong Solitaire setting. I proceeded to discuss how this is not like the tiffany setting, and "educated(?)" them on the differences between Tiffany''s and what they were offering. We pulled up T&Co''s website and got an enlarged shot of the setting I was looking for, and without hesitation I was informed.... "We Can Make This." Now I know there are copyright issues (not a concern of mine), and I am certain they can attempt to remake the setting, but what are the chances of them remaking as the original?
I love the Tiffany setting and so does my other half, but the price tag is unwarranted and the inability to choose your own stone is a HUGE turn-off. In case you were curious of their prices, without wanting to call them...This will give you an idea. All prices are setting and stone, before tax:
.50, F, VS1, $5,400.00
.50, E, VS1, $6,200.00
.50, E, VS2, $5,700.00
.49, E, VS1, $5,400.00
.56, F, VS2, $5,450.00
.52, D, VS1, $6,800.00
.57, D, VS2, $6,550.00
PS: I say I was "playing the game," because I am younger and dressed off season (deliberately), just to bring out the best in some of the salesmen I was talking to.
Sales is a big game to me.
