Need help finding Tiffany Novo Ring

[Mcrouton]

My girlfriend has her heart set up on the Tiffany Novo but its out of my price range. I have seen replicas but nothing looks as polished as the Tiffany ring. I would like at least a 1 carat diamond. Any suggestions on where to find a used or vintage Tiffany Novo?

Thanks!

Hi,

Sometimes oakgem.com has pre-loved Novos. eBay will too obviously, but it's much trickier because you have to watch out for fakes.

this Ritani looks close enough IMO

Does it need to be pre-owned Tiffany?


Because if so.

This seller has a good rating and you will be protected by ebay.

So I don't know what your budget is, but here are the only two worth a second look and they are 'on sale' right now:

IF NOT, we can get you something similar for much less. But you would have to ask her if she needs the brand, or if she just likes the style and is okay with that style, but without the brand.

Be honest and open with her. Good practice for marriage.

If she just wants the style, but doesn't need the name:


This stone in particular would look amazing in a Novo setting. http://www.b2cjewels.com/dd-4943328-1.50-carat-Cushion-diamond-H-color-VS1-clarity.aspx All you would have to do is ask if the Fluorescence is safe in that stone (most probably is, its rare that stones are over blue). It is a four main but it would be a fabulous Novo style center stone. And the ASET is very strong. Plus the price is fantastic

And then you can have it set in this setting http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/engagement-rings/pave-and-side-stones/novela-platinum-5372p Which is one of the best Tiffany Novo inspired by settings out there.

And then you are done.


$2,550 for the setting.
$7,572.47 for the stone
_____
$10,122.47

Plus maybe a 100 setting fee from BGD for the outside stone.

So.... REALLY great price for a gorgeous and top quality ring.

And this WILL look as polished. BGD's work is amazing. I should know I have several pieces by them and I've actyally had people at Tiffany tell me that my BGD pieces were as nice or nicer than what they have.

And my appraiser agreed.

I would also feel comfortable buying from diamonddr16 on ebay. You need to find one that is her size. It is best not to size a pave shank.

Ohhhhhhhhh. Great point. You'd have to take it to Tiffany and see what they could do for sizing. It's really not recommended to size those shanks very much at all.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
