Tiffany + Alternatives
So, I'm looking at Elsa Peretti for a gift and I was going to go with one of the pendants + the platinum chain (which is backordered). Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy the pendant from them and the chain elsewhere? Does VCA do any cute, smaller necklaces for less than 600 dollars?
Thanks. |

Re: Tiffany + Alternatives
as long as the chain and pendant are both made of the same metal i don't see why there would be a problem...

Re: Tiffany + Alternatives
I have several pieces by Elsa Peretti. Some of the chains actually do not slide out from the pendants, so you would have to buy it together.
I don't think Tiffany's sells the pendants separately from the pendant. I've had to buy pendants and then extend the chain from 16" to 18" for a small cost. Does the chain come off easily from the particular pendant that you wish to buy? Is it the heart pendant? Remember that the chains always have a small tag that says Tiffany on it. |

Here is the charm - http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item...i+-ni+0-x+-pu+
It appears to be able to be purchased individually. It's a value issue, really. Why pay 325 dollars for a platinum chain when they can be purchased much cheaper? There are no design elements that I'm missing, are there (besides the T&Co. inscription)? I really like the pendant and I think she will too but again, I could buy another gift with the money I save from going with a chain from someone else. Is that reasonable? No one mentioned VCA - not an option? |

Re: Tiffany + Alternatives
I'm not sure, but I doubt VCA does Pendants less than $600.
At least in my part of the world, the Allambra range alone starts at at least USD800-900. |

Re: Tiffany + Alternatives
I think VCA has some beautiful Alhambra pieces that you may consider if you are willing to increase your price range a bit. Last month VCA just had a price increase, so you should go their website and make a price inquiry. I think the only pieces that are near your price range are the Sweet Alhambra pieces. You might as well check out the prices from VCA before you rule anything out. I would be so estatic if I received a Tiffany's (gold) or VCA piece.
Happy gift giving, Diana |
