Up close pictures of real Tiffany Legacy

If you're gonna market thousands of these to all those mall stores, I guess you bang them out & skimp on the QC to save cost. If you don't advertise expensively and expansively, they'll stop paying too much just for the name & the blue box.

Laurie, not to mention the cost to pay shills. I wouldn't want my money being used to pay shills.

Gene, they're not really not gold gold; in fairness they're platinum so they're not representing a choice between yellow and white gold. I myself love yellow gold above all metals as you might be able to tell from my avatar.

TL, my personal opinion is that Tiffany is a company pretending to be on the level of Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, etc.

It isn't anymore, and yet it pretends to be the best jewelry store in the world (I mean I think the company actually says this).

Tiffany makes many pieces of mediocre design, poor or not competent workmanship, and yet very high prices. They have an interesting history, and some interesting pieces, but overall, I'm not a fan.

I like Legacy settings for tiny colored stones that are too small otherwise. I have a red spinel I want set that way one day. My favorite one on PS is only a .37 diamond. I think it is a classic look, and a .37 stone is not going to look blingy. Also, I am wondering if the quality has gone down on the Tiffany Co. setting over time. I think they have discontinued the more detailed one, I read. Here is the link to the pretty one. It looks nothing like the ones on ebay.[URL='https://www.pricescope.com/forum/rockytalky/tiffany-oval-or-legacy-t54598.html']https://www.pricescope.com/forum/rockytalky/tiffany-oval-or-legacy-t54598.html[/URL]

I would never pay Tiffany's prices for more expensive items, but I did buy their Legacy wedding band because it was just perfectly made. Plus, it helped to be able to try on the ring with my e-ring rather than custom ordering something I couldn't try on. Yes, I use loupes and the tiny stones are bead-set perfectly and the milgrain is tiny, even, and perfect. I don't believe those initial ebay pictures could have been real Tiffany. Not defending them, though, because I'd rather have Steven Kirsch make me a halo any day if I had an expensive stone to set in a halo. (But actually, Singlestone has my favorite halo for a colored stone!)
