You have $400 to spend at Tiffany. What are you buying?

It's tough to find anything at that price range. What are the best value items?

I’m a bougie b*tch and would probably buy my doggo a dog collar and then myself a silver key fob and call it a day.
also I like their little circle travel ring holder.
But my doggo would be 100% that b*tch if I could

I bought a silver heart locket keychain from them last year. It has fallen apart THREE times and the repairs are expensive. You’re better off buying a simple chain. Good luck!

I'm not sure anything at Tiffany is a good value. Maybe a pen? Seriously, I had a silver pen from Tiffany about 20 years ago. It was nice, but ... OK, I'd buy the pen if they still made it. (Edit: Wow, they still make the pen. I'm totally buying it: https://www.tiffany.com/accessories/desk/elsa-peretti-ballpoint-pen-25656946/)

Then again, I buy my nieces items from Tiffany for their special occasions, because the name means something to them, and it makes them happy.

Some type of houseware or gift item. I don't think I'd want any jewelry at that price point.

Nothing is a value item really.

Agree, nothing is a value item there! I have a $400 gift certificate there that I'd much rather spend on jewelry elsewhere, but c'est la vie haha. I guess I'm wondering what to buy that's iconic Tiffany enough to would make it more worth the "Tiffany tax," without it being tacky (like the "return to Tiffany's" jewelry). Maybe something from the Tiffany T line or a diamonds by the yard necklace...

If it needs to be jewelry and you want iconic Tiffany without looking junior I like the small bone cuff by Elsa Peretti.

Yeah, it's pretty nice.

I switched over to a front pocket style wallet awhile back. It has a money clip, but also a place for your ID, credit cards, etc. My wife got me this one our first Christmas together. It's worn, but I still love it.

Love this ideas, thank you so so much!!

I actually already have the bean necklace, haha, it's a classic!

Do you all think there will be issues with durability given that this ring is sterling silver? https://www.tiffany.com/jewelry/rings/elsa-peretti-diamonds-by-the-yard-ring-GRP05567/

I’ve bought and returned that ring several times and ultimately decided against it because it’s very difficult to roll on and off the finger. The chain really tightens up almost like it’s choking your finger and it rolls up into something very tiny. For example, I’m a 4.25 and even a size 6 was doing it on my finger.

i also found that because they don’t have half sizes, it was hard to get a good fit. The 5 was too big and it flipped around way too much but the 4 was too small and hard to get on. The stone also flips upside down a lot. The two SA both told me personally they don’t like the chain style and that they’d never recommend it. I could totally see why, which is too bad because it actually has a reasonable presence on the finger.

However, it might just work for you!

Knife edge band, I've always wanted one, but the price stops me. Though it's really not that much less by any other designer, even at BN and e-wedding bands their knife edge is $300 for 14k.

Teardrop earrings in silver. Another I've always wanted. I have something similar I picked up somewhere years ago. I'd love to have these though.
