Well im looking to get something from tiffanys with a diamond for my girlfriend. I know with a lot of jewlers if your paying cash you can usually haggle a bit. With a big company like Tiffany's i was wondering if that was still possible, or anyone had any experience or tips......im not very jewelry savvy but she loves Tiffany's!

 

ohhhh... you openned a pandora's box...

 

I honestly don't know if they would haggle.

Just realize that you are paying roughly a 1/3 premium for the name. They have good quality control but it's at too steep of a cost. This is coming from someone who likes Tiffany products. I just bought my girlfriends anniversary give there.

 

Lol, yeah i got quoted on a 41/2 carrot diamond engagement ring for 52K and 1 3/4 wedding band with diamonds all around it for 13K
nice quality tough

 

tiffany's? damn will you're a baller lol.

 

NO...Tiffany's is one company that won't bargain with you unless you're a celebrity of some sort.

Good luck

 

Tiffanys is you are paying extra for the name. I got my wife Tiffany's trinkets when we were students (like 200 dollars) because they were easily recognizable and a teeny tiny tiffany diamond for 1000 dollars (a lot with our budget at that time). Now with some cash, I went elsewhere for her 1 carat stud earings and saved about 7k.

 

Does it have to be from Tiffany's?

When I got my fiancee's ring i went to http://www.jewelryexchange.com
found a local store and picked out some diamonds online and they shipped them to the store. Found what I liked and had it mounted in a ring at Robbin Bros. Saved a lot on diamond

 

Like others said prices are pretty stiff and you do pay for the name but assurance in quality and resell value as well. I was able to negotiate a bit on interest rate when I finance through them, although this is 10 years ago not sure if it still works this way.

 

10 years from now diamonds will be no more expensive than any other semi-rare stone.. tell your GF she has to wait
