Good evening, Tyler!

First I wanted to say that you are so wonderful for taking the time to respond to everyone's questions. Typically, I just enjoy your posts but today something happened that I am hoping you can help me with...I really hope you have an opinion on this (fingers crossed!!)....
My husband and I went into the Costa Mesa store today to look at my dream ring, the Legacy Ornate (Graduated side stones). We have plans to purchase this ring in about two years when I graduate from college. I have not seen it in a year so we decided to go into the store so I can try it on again....to my surprise the sales person told me that this ring is being discontinued...my heart sank! The sales person looked up every Legacy ornate in stock and said the smallest size they had left is a 3.08ct ($100K) and they have no plans to make any more. Literally, I cried. My question for you is, would Tiffany custom make this ring for someone? My price point is approx. 40-50K and I want about a 1.6 ct F color ring. I was not sure if Tiffany would consider that a big enough ticket item to do a custom made ring or if they even do custom pieces on request.

Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Gosh that's a tough one. I'm surprised to hear that they are discontinuing that ring. Typically custom orders are in the 100k and above range but your price range is significant enough that it wouldn't hurt to ask when the time comes. I would keep hope that that design isn't being discontinued entirely, most times when they make a change to a design they don't communicate this to the employees so the employees just assume that it's being discontinued. I've made this mistake before as well only to find out later that the exact same item came out but with a new SKU. Keep the hope alive and if that doesn't work out then it doesn't hurt to ask for a custom design when the time comes. Who knows your taste could change by then too.

Hi Tyler

First of all, thanks so much for all the postings! Youre a very popular man. My question is this: my aunt gave me some earrings of hers from the early 80's from Tiffany's. They are clip-on, but I think that I'd like them made into studs. Would they make the alterations for me, or not on items which are that old?

Thanks very much.

Absolutely. I'm not sure what the price is but the customer service dept. should be able to give you a quote. I'm thinking it's in the hundred dollar range since they use 14k white gold posts, more for platinum.

So I posted a link for 3 "return to tiffany" oval tag chokers that I saw on bonanzle.com to have them authenticated. I was told 2 out of the 3 were authentic. I noticed that there was no tiffany stamp on the back of the oval. When I went into my local tiffany's just now, I asked about that, and they said that there should've been a stamp on the back. Has it always been that way? The oval tag choker has been around for as long as I can remember; maybe they didn't used to be stamped on the back? I might have to return this darn thing when it arrives. Should I bring it into tiffany's to be authenticated?

I'm new to Tiffany and I got my first bracelet and a charm yesterday. The thing is, I barely used it (pretty much just walked around the house with it) and now it already looks pretty beat up as in scratches all over the place and a scuff mark on the corner (like a metal just been chipped/rubbed off). I don't really want to go through so much trouble of exchanging it since I know it will get scratched overtime anyway.

However, I just want to know if Tiffany sterling silver just scuffs so easily. If it's something that will happen later, then I will just let it go.

Silly question, but I just need reassurance since I'm really OCD when it comes to things like this. Bear with me. TIA!

This is the charm that I have, my first one :D
