Tiffany & Co

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

As all of us know, TiffanyTiffany jewellery & Co. is a name synonymous with elegance and glamour the world over with designs that continue to captivate our imaginations. Tiffany & Co. jewelry have occupied a very prominent position in the world jewelry industry over the past decades. From Tiffany rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants, spectacular designs for men and women are available to make any occasion extraordinary.

Engagement Ring Cuts

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Tiffany jewelryEven though there are many different cuts available for engagement rings, most couples choose to stick to just a few popular ones.
An engagement ring must look appropriate and be sturdy, so it is often a simply set stone or up to three stones embellished with pave chips. You can be sure of having a ring suitable for wearing to any event, safely mounted and secure during work or play, if you choose a simple, elegant cut that not only provides a strong visual element, but can be securely mounted, even in a minimal setting.

The round cut is the most common of all stones. Many jewelers say that round cut is the best with very best fire and all facets of the stone are taken care of. Surrounding cuts in what are often called “Tiffany settings” or raised prong settings, are the characteristic idea of an appointment ring: a lone stone balanced just higher than the band of the loop with most experience of the sandstone to beam. A nice round stone would appear wonderful in a Tiffany setting. However, there is no place to hide for a small, muddy stone.

Beautiful green emeralds really shine when cut into long rectangles. An emerald cut, though not as flashy as a round cut, has plenty of room to show off a large stone and provides an unusual and exceptionally stately option. A Princess cut stone, with its four-square look, reminds us of stability and security. Prongs will safeguard the corners will solidifying the sides if these linear cuts is correctly mounted.

Although there are certainly other gems, these are the most traditional and popular choices and come in a variety of gorgeous settings. The foundations of most classical engagement ring design can be acquired with a sense of these few cuts.

While you decide to buy Tiffany

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

When you decide to purchase jewelry, Tiffany is often considered the first choice. However the price is often took into account. While you decide to buy Tiffany, if you do not purchase Tiffany jewelry from a Tiffany store, it can be very difficult to spot a fake.You may see the fake set a little percentage of the market and Tiffany is often to be imitate and demand is high. Many are easy to spot, but others require a more highly trained eye. Fake Tiffany jewelry requires more inspection than most other fakes. Learn how to distinguish from the fake,remember the follows.tiffany bracelet
Step 1
Visit the Tiffany & Co. store and view the piece you are interested in purchasing elsewhere. Take note of the craftsmanship, any engraving or details, the weight of the piece and the overall appearance, including luster and shine.
Step 2
Visually inspect the piece you would like to purchase. Note any differences between the piece you are holding and the piece you viewed at the Tiffany & Co. store. Many times fake Tiffany jewelry will have a very high shine or luster, making it easier to spot a fake.
Step 3
Check the piece for tarnish and sterling silver stamp . A tag should be attached to the clasp stamped with “925″ if your piece is authentic Tiffany & Co. sterling silver. The piece should not show any signs of tarnishing.
Step 4
Compare the weight of the piece to the weight of the item in the Tiffany store. If the piece noticeably weighs less than the one in the store, it is likely a fake.
Step 5
Review the details. Look at the engraving, polish and curves of the piece. Look at all the finishing touches are edges ragged or smooth? Does the piece look high-quality and made with good craftsmanship? Do you notice differences between the two pieces? If so, you are likely viewing a fake Tiffany & Co. item.
Step 6
Is the price too good to be true? Is someone trying to sell you an “authentic” Tiffany necklace for $20 that is brand new and in perfect condition? This likely isn’t a bargain, it is a true fake.
When we pay a litter more attention,you will find the difference from the true and the fake one.So be carefully when you purchasing.

Silver Tiffany jewellery’s sotry

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Tiffany jewlleryIf you know someone that likes dolphins then what better gift could you give them than a pair of dolphin earrings. Made out of sterling silver your lover will really appreciate the time and care that has gone into making this quality piece of silver jewellery.Tiffany is one of them.
Silver has been known since ancient times and has long been valued as a precious metal, used to make ornaments, jewellery, high-value tableware and utensils and currency coins. Mined right back in 4000BC in Turkey which was then called Anatolia, the main source of silver now is from Peru and Mexico. To the Egyptians, gold was considered to be the perfect metal, and gave the symbol of a circle to it. Since silver was the next best to gold in terms of perfection, it was given a semi-circle for it’s symbol. This semi-circle later changed through time and led to a moon symbol, due to the similarity between the shining metal being like the glowing moon light. The Romans gave silver the name of argentum, which is still used today as the international name of the element, from where its chemical symbol of Ag comes from.
Silver ,though may not very attractive but it’s so uncompareless.For example, Tiffany jewellery, is also a good choice

Very Useful Tips to Spot Fake Tiffany Jewel Online

Friday, July 17th, 2009

How do you tell the difference between the fake and the real Tiffany jewel sold online? ?

The key is knowing what to look for.  Below are some tips to help you determine what is real.  This simple guide will save you time and money in the long run. Maybe it’s a long guide for you. But it helps you a lot when you really want to get the authentic Tiffany Jewelry on sale.

☃ DETAILED ANALYSIS:

  • The links on any Tiffany bracelet or necklace are NOT pinched together, they are soldered together and totally smooth. You can’t tell where the link begins or ends
  • The lobster clasp on a Tiffany bracelet or necklace will show EXCELLENT workmanship, if it looks like it’s a cheapie, it’s not Tiffany. In fact, the entire piece should be heavy and feel SOLID in your hand. Also, here’s a little secret, the lobster clasp will ALSO be stamped 925, at the base of the clasp.
  • EVERY Tiffany piece is stamped with the Tiffany & Co. mark and the metal mark (e.g. Tiffany & Co. 925, or T & Co. 925) Many pieces are stamped with the date the piece was trademarked, the Tiffany logo, and the metal content, in that order (e.g. 2001 Tiffany & Co. 925). The pieces by artists such as Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, Frank Gehry etc, will be signed as well as stamped. When buying a piece that has a chain and pendant (e.g. the Tiffany bar pendant) BOTH the pendant AND the chain will be marked Tiffany & Co 925. If the chain is marked but not the pendant, it’s most likely that the pendant isn’t Tiffany.
  • Tiffany tag bracelets and necklaces are made of .925 sterling silver, and are heavy, if your jewelry feels light in comparison to it’s size, beware. Also, Tiffany sterling jewelry will photograph dark silver and even gold colored sometimes, not pure silver or silver-white. There are alot of people out there selling fake Tiffany that’s been coated with Rhodium, which gives it a whitish appearance.
  • The tiffany toggle necklace is 16 inches long. The dog tag necklace and the heart tag necklace are both 15.5 inches long, they both fasten in the front and they ARE engraved with “please return to tiffany.”
  • The tiffany round charm bracelet with the “please return to tiffany” is 7.5 inches long, and fastens next to the charm with a lobster clasp. The clasp, when fastened, should have the opening mechanism next to your skin. When laid flat, the clasp opening should face down.
  • The heart charm on the toggle necklaces is NEVER engraved with “return to tiffany”, Tiffany doesn’t make an engraved charm toggle necklace. Only the “lifesaver” part of the necklace is engraved with “tiffany & co”. If the charm on your toggle necklace says “please return to tiffany” IT’S NOT TIFFANY AND THEY WON’T WANT IT BACK!!
  • The Tiffany round tag necklace is fastened in the BACK, as is the oval dogtag bracelet, and they are engraved with “please return to tiffany”. Only the heart toggle necklace, heart tag necklace and the oval dogtag necklace are fastened in the front.
  • The engraving on your return to tiffany bracelet should be completely and totally sharp and clear to read. If it’s unclear or looks sub-par, (ALL TOGETHER NOW)… IT’S NOT TIFFANY!!
  • There are many items engraved with “please return to tiffany”, and you will need to go to tiffany offical website to check what you see on ebay against the real deal. Go to “collections” at the top of the page and click on “return to tiffany.”
  • In regards to the “double heart” necklaces I’ve seen floating out there, be aware that the hearts should NOT BE CURVED in any way, but should be shaped JUST like the hearts on Tiffany’s tag necklace and bracelet. ONLY THE LARGER, BOTTOM HEART IS ENGRAVED with Tiffany & Co. The top heart is BLANK! Also, the hearts hang at an angle from the chain, if you’re looking at the necklace, the chain should go through the LEFT side of the heart. The fake one’s have the chain going through the top of the hearts. Don’t fall for those necklaces that have both hearts engraved, or that have “curved” hearts, those AREN’T TIFFANY!!
  • Authentic item’s “care card” feels like a thick cardstock material and the two fake cards (one fake didn’t have a card at all) feel very flimsy. The front of the authentic card ONLY says “Tiffany & Co.” whereas the fakes say “Tiffany & Co. Care of Sterling Silver” The back of the authentic card is titled “CARE OF STERLING SILVER” and it never says “Thank you” for your purchase. The fake cards I have say “thank you for selecting this sterling silver gift from Tiffany & Co.” The writing on the fake is larger and you can see a punctuation error even! The authentic card mentions not using chlorine and bleach, but the fake one does not.
  • Authentic item comes in a beautiful bag that is made well and the color inside is the same as outside. Some fake bag sare white on the interior. The authentic bag usually feels thicker and of more quality material. The writing on the outside feels almost deeply printed within the material and the fake feels like it was stamped on there. The authentic font looks darker and the fakes usually look faded. The color of the fake bags look darker than the bright authentic ones. If you look at the craftsmanship of the bag on interior and exterior, you can tell.

☃ HOW TO SPOT A FAKE TIFFANY POUCH:

One of the easiest things to spot is the pouch.  IF THE POUCH IS FAKE it’s logical to assume THE JEWELRY IS ALSO FAKE!
There are a few things that are common to all
AUTHENTIC “Tiffany Blue” drawstring pouches no matter how old the pouch is.

Fabric – Tiffany’s pouch fabric is suede cloth. The fabric is not a smooth nap. It has highs and lows that are visible in clear photos.

AUTHENTIC:

99% of fake pouches are made of a cheap, low pile, faux velevet. All of the faux velvet fibers are the same height so the pouch will photograph smooth.  Ironic that even the velvet is fake!

AUTHENTIC:——-—- —><—–—-FAKE:

  • The size of the AUTHENTIC bags are consistant:

~ The most common size is medium 4 1/2″ (1 in pics)
~ The small size is 3 1/2″
~ The smallest size is 2 1/2″
~ The less common large sizes are 6 1/2″ and 7 1/2″

These sizes may vary by no more than 1/8″ due to the seam allowance.

Notice that all sizes are X and 1/2 inches. The same cannot be said for most fake Tiffany drawstring pouches.

On very rare occassions you may see an odd shaped drawstring pouch to accomodate a specialty item. All of the information pertaining to drawstring pouches will also apply to these pouches.

The medium and small AUTHENTIC pouches have approximately 1/2″ margin from the top of the pouch to the top row of stitches. (2 in pics)

The AUTHENTIC larger sizes have approximately 1″ margin from the top of the pouch to the top row of stitches.

The smallest AUTHENTIC pouch has a 3/8″ top margin.

The fake pouches have a much narrower top margin. (see pics)

The fabric on the inside of the AUTHENTIC pouch is EXACTLY the same as the outside of the pouch.

The inside of the AUTHENTIC pouch will have a pocket made of the same suede cloth. The large and odd shaped pouches usually do not have a pocket

AUTHENTIC:— - --><—–—-FAKE:

  • The seams of the AUTHENTIC pouch will be serged using a coordinating thread color. (Pouches dating back two or more decades may have a straight stitched seam rather than a serged seam but all else will be the same and you should be able to tell by the fading of the fabric and the imprint that it’s an old pouch).

Note: the size of the Tiffany & Co on the front of the authentic pouch can vary. Newer pouches have smaller type than some of the older pouches

There are a few things that are common to all.
AUTHENTIC Tiffany blue snap pouches no matter how old the pouch is.

  • Fabric – Like the drawstring bag, Tiffany’s AUTHENTIC snap pouch fabric is suede cloth. The fabric is not a smooth nap. It has highs and lows that are visible in clear photos. 99% of fake snap pouches uses a similar fabric so this is difficult to determine in photos.

AUTHENTIC:----><—– -FAKE

#  The size of the AUTHENTIC pouch is consistant: 2 5/8″.
#  Both sides AND the bottom of the AUTHENTIC pouch are stitched. Most counterfeit snap pouches are not stitched across the bottom.
#  AUTHENTIC Snap pouches have gusseted sides and divider pocket made of the same fabric.
#  The stitching lines are perfectly straight and perfectly curved around the flap of the AUTHENTIC pouches.
#  The back of the snap nipple of the AUTHENTIC pouch has a round piece of matching fabric glued to it so it doesn’t scratch the jewelry.
#  The brand of all AUTHENTIC Tiffany snaps is marked on the reverse side of the flap’s snap. This unique brand (· ECHT ·  · PRYM · 2b · ) is different than the brand of snap used on any fake Tiffany pouch.  If the snap does not contain these letters, it’s a FAKE.
#  The reverse side of the AUTHENTIC snap on the flap has a “coin” edge.

On the other hand, the bottom line is Tiffany is a maker of FINE jewelry, and they would never let anything sub-par out of their store rooms. Don’t be fooled by people from other countries saying they have a “friend” who gets them Tiffany stuff for cheap, it can’t be done. Your best bet is to buy from someone who can tell you the store they bought the item at.  The only way to get Tiffany jewelry is to buy it in the stores, the Tiffany website, or buy it from someone who bought it in a store. I know this is alot of information to take in, so please feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to check out an auction for you and tell you what I think.

Of course, by buying it from somebody else will often mean buying a used (pre-loved) piece of Tiffany jewelry, which is fine! When you think about it, why would somebody sell a brand new, never worn piece of Tiffany jewelry for MUCH LESS than they paid for it at the store or website? The answer is, they wouldn’t. If somebody has brand new Tiffany jewelry for sale, beware, it might possibly be a scam. I have purchased five pieces of Tiffany jewelry (all authentic) that were used, and they were in great shape! All it takes is a silver polishing cloth and some elbow grease to get a used piece back to it’s original state.

More Useful Tips:

  1. Look at the photo. Is it stolen from the Tiffany  & Co. website?  If so, you really do not know what you are buying.  Make sure the photos are clear and close-up enough to show adequate detail or any flaws.  You can be the judge in determining how minor or small the flaw is.
  2. Read the entire description. Some sellers are claiming thier item is “Auth.”  This means absolutely nothing.  It does not mean Authentic.  Unless the auction specifically states the item is Authentic Tiffany & Co. jewelry it may not be.
  3. Look at the sellers feedback and feedback score. Beware of sellers with private feedback.  They may be hiding comments made regarding fake items they sold.  Also, beware of new sellers (less than 1 week) who have lots of Tiffanys for sale at cheap prices.  These sellers may have had a previous eBay account suspended for selling fake items and have opened another account.
  4. Look at the price. Although the auction may have started out at 99 cents, this does not necessarily mean the item is fake.  Many sellers do this to keep down eBay fees.  The final cost should be, at least, half of the retail value of the item(s).  Steer clear of high retail priced items with a Buy It Now price of less than 1/3 the retail value.  Example:  $250 Return to Tiffany Oval Tag Necklace with a Buy It Now Price of $50.
  5. Ask the seller questions. Honest sellers do not mind answering questions regarding authenticity.  Sellers should be prompt to answer e-mails, no longer than 2 days.  If you have asked the seller if the item is authentic and you do not get a response from the seller, the item is probably fake.  Honest sellers are not afraid to answer questions to give additionsl photos if requested.
  6. Reciepts are not a guarentee of authenticity. It is very easy to make a fake receipt.  There are computer programs and fake receipt makers out there to help the crook along.  In addition, many sellers who provide the receipt with the purchase are only providing a copy of the reciept as to avoid identity theft.
  7. Read the Return Policy! If you do not agree with the return policy do not bid on that auction.
  8. Compare the item with the Tiffany & Co. website. Although the Tiffany & Co. website only show in-stock items, it is a valuable resource.  Tiffany & Co. will not authenticate items bought on eBay.  They have sued eBay several times for allowing counterfiets to be sold on thier site.
  9. Few places have sales to buy authentic items at a discounted price.
  10. EVERYTHING about the authentic Tiffany item is high quality! From the care card to the box to the bag it comes in as well as the pouch to store the item and of course the item itself. Tiffany has been around for quite a while and they perfect every last detail of all items that have their name on it! Just because a seller claims to offer a receipt, doesn’t mean it is authentic.

Wish You Good Luck and  Open Your Eyes when choosing Tiffany Jewel On Line.
