I've seen this before, Tiffany does have products that from Germany that say "made expressly for..." but I can't think of any jewelry that says that off the top of my head. Usually it's pens or crystal or something like that. Maybe if you posted a link to the pics I could take a look.

Thank you! The items 2014, 2015, and 2016 in the Authenticate this! thread @ the top. I could repost the pics here but don't want to hog all of the bandwidth on TPF lol :)
And please ignore the lighter font on the "care of" card; i think there was a smudge on my camera b/c the actual card does not look lighter in one spot like the pic does.
Thx again for your input :smile1:

Hi Tyler!
Much credit and thanks to you for being of such a great assistance to everyone here. I've read through pages of posts and you've done so much. Amazing forum too :D!

I actually have a slight delimma I was hoping you could help me with. I know a friend who works for Tiffany & Co. (in corporate) and I just recently bought my engagement ring without knowing she works for the company. First, would she have been able to apply her employee discount on my engagement ring? If she would be able to, since I already bought the ring, would she be able to do any kind of retro-activity to apply her employee discount to my ring (whether that means me returning the ring and her buying it, doing a price adjustment, or anything else)? It would save me so much and I could possibly even get a nicer one for the same amount I paid. My 30 days for a return comes to an end this week so I want to make sure that if she could apply her employee discount to my engagement ring that it's done within the 30 days in case a return is needed to apply it. I would ask her personally but she's going through a lot right now. Please advise as much as possible. Thanks so much!

Hi Tyler! Just wondering... which Tiffany jewelry come with papers? I have gold and silver from Tiffany with no papers, but if I buy any diamonds jewelry does it all come with papers or just engagement rings? Thank you :)

Usually only engagement rings come with a Tiffany warranty which is similar to a GIA certificate and jewelry over 10k comes with a letter of valuation.

Tiffany employees are able to buy one engagement ring for themselves or their partner while employed. So if your friend is willing to use her one lifetime discount for you, also without tiffany knowing about it since you're not her partner than I guess it's possible. If she is willing to do that you would have to return yours and have her buy the next one for you.

Hi Tyler! Should have asked here instead of separate thread... friend's mom has Tiffany band with all sapphire that go all the way around, square looking stones, maybe platinum setting. I see square diamond/sapphire or all sapphire round, but not all sapphire square on website. Are you familiar with style - have they discontinue all square sapphire band? Thanks so much!

Thanks for the insight, it's very helpful and something for me to think carefully about. It makes sense that employees would only be able to buy one engagement ring with their discount. I'm not sure how long she'll be working there (she started not too long ago) and I don't think she'll be looking at engagement rings soon (or if she'll still be with Tiffany when she does start looking in the future).

Would you be able to say how much the discount is and any other details not yet mentioned (if any) so I can determine whether it's worth asking her for the favor (and thus forego her one lifetime discount, if she's willing to)? Also, if she is willing to help me, when I return mine, can she buy it right away or does the ring go through a process with inventory, resizing, etc that will cause us to need to keep a strict eye and ear out for when this ring is available for sale again (in which case how long does this typically take)? It would be ideal if I can get the same ring back.

On a slightly different note, just curious, if I were to start working at Tiffany after my ring's return period ends, would I be able to apply the employee discount to how much I paid and get the difference returned to me (or would I still need to follow the return policy and therefore not be able to apply the engagement ring discount unless I buy another one)? Of course this is not at all in any way a main reason for me to want to work there.

I'm not sure if you need this in providing additional details about the discount, but I have a round brilliant bead-set band (I can provide additional details if you need it). Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I know all the facts, pros, and cons before I approach her with such a big favor. Thanks so very much :D!

I think I've mentioned this earlier in the thread but the discount on engagement rings varies depending on the diamond and it can range anywhere between 10 and 20 percent. I think you would be very lucky if you could get it for 15% off. Yeah the rings do go through a return process, I believe they are sent to NY where they are inspected and polished so this could take weeks and may not necessarily be sent back to the store you purchased it from. Employee discounts do not apply to past purchases, seriously why would they? That would just be like throwing money away for Tiffany's and I've never heard of any retailer that does that.

I'm familiar with it but I don't know if they still carry it because I haven't worked there for a while now. They don't usually have all of their products on their website due to how extensive their inventory is but I doubt if this design has been discontinued. Visit or call a store and they should be able to help you find it.

Hi, the pouches, box, care card, jewelry and tags look very authentic to me. Often jewelry comes with those tags on but the salespeople take them off. There is a good possibility that they just didn't take them off however. As my memory serves me those look very authentic but I could only be more confident if I had guaranteed authentic ones to compare them to.

Thank you! Will head to a store this weekend to check out the real pieces and make a judgment call.

I was at Tiffany's yesterday and a really great SA waited on me. Keep in mind Van Cleef is going into the mall in a very close location. I was looking at dbty's single stone and 5 stone. She was very helpfull helping me pick just the right one. She went so far as to tell me which one she felt "was made for me" and told me how I might get more for my lost piece(this is a replacement for an insured piece, I've been paying premium for a long time and she said I should push for a higher replacement value due to changing market). She also said they could do things as far as cash and hinted towards a discount. She said they would do what ever they could to help me get in this piece. Does this mean a possible discount? Can they do that?

Yeah they can give you a discount although it's not done often unless the retail price is very high. They can do it however and it's really up to each individual store manager whether they are willing to. Another possibility is the SA could have been referring to their line of credit as well.
