I have a dilemma! I recently bought a platinum 0.27 carat DBTY necklace (currently with Tiffany’s for lengthening) and platinum 0.41 carat DBTY five stone bracelet from a lovely seller. The same seller has now offered me matching earrings with a total carat weight of 0.50 and the sale will include the Tiffany diamond certificate.
My dilemma is that I already have a near identical pair of no brand bezel-set diamond stud earrings in 18k white gold from my jeweller which are really lovely in terms of sparkle and colour and you probably couldn’t even tell that they are not Tiffany. I could sell them (along with some other pieces I want to move on) to raise some funds towards the Peretti earrings, plus there’s a high chance the jeweller would buy them back from me which would increase the amount I could get. But should I? The Tiffany studs are double the price of my existing ones even preowned and it feels a bit greedy and wasteful with money to buy a pair that look pretty much the same other than the fact they have the Tiffany name!
For reference, both pairs are roughly the same size - my no name ones are 0.60 carat so slightly bigger but in 18k white gold rather than platinum.
I’m tempted as I would have the matching set and the pendant and earrings would nearly be identical in size at .27 for the pendant and .25 each for the earrings.
Talk some sense into me! (or not )
