Tiffany's Victoria Bracelet Replica

[galatie]

Hi all,

I am interested in replicating the Tiffany's Victoria bracelet and will have it done either by IDJ or a local jeweller who has come recommended to me here in Singapore.

Please see pictures below of examples that they have sent over to me:






Can I ask which vendor do you think does the better just replicating this particular piece?

I believe the prices for both would be similar.

Thank you!!!!

How would you advise us on evaluating a "local jeweller who has come recommended" to you in Singapore?

Are you looking to know whether we would recommend IDJ to do the work?

"Please see pictures below of examples that they have sent over to me:" Who has sent them to you? Singapore jeweller?
Is that an example of their work?

Thanks, sorry for the confusion.

The first picture is work that the local jeweller has done. Alot of friends have recommended them to me so I am pretty confident that the craftmanship will be good, but have never used them before, and am a bit apprehensive.

The second picture is work that IDJ has done to replicate this particular piece. I have used IDJ before and was pleased with their work. The only issue is that I am based in Singapore, so to work alongside the vendor in this project would be easier if they are locally based. In addition, it helps in case I need to do any adjustments, alterations, or returns, etc. I would definitely use IDJ if I were still living in NYC, but alas, not the case anymore.

I think the main difference to me between the two bracelets is the design of the prong or metal that is between the flower and stone?

Wondering if the Tiffany piece is patented.

Wondering if the Tiffany piece is patented.

I doubt that the Victoria line can be patented - four Marquis flowers have been around for ages, well before Tiffany was doing it.

Besides most places cant/wont exactly copy it perfectly (in terms of the dimensions of the marquises, prong shape and placement, angle of the baskets and stones etc).

IMO this is generic enough that getting an “inspired by” version is totally fine, but that’s my opinion.

Ah, got it! Do you have any more pictures (or can they send more) of the local jeweler's bracelet? I would want to work locally, but
the round brilliants in the IDJ bracelet look like they are cut better (from the few I can see). That is why I would like to see
more pics of the local bracelet.

The IDJ bracelet looks* nicer (in my mind) but mainly because it's a better picture. It is much easier to evaluate than the local
jewelers bracelet.

I think the IDJ one looks nicer and more delicate. And I agree that this design is so common that's it's not a replica, but an "inspired by".

I too prefer the picture of the IDJ bracelet. Looks more defined. It really just depends on your preference as neither of them are exact replicas. To that end, you can design the bracelet any way you want it to look.
