Thanks Tyler! I was just worried that since it's so old they might not recognize it and consequently not want to check/service it for me. As much as I'd like to know more I don't think I could send it away, especially as I don't care about valuation. Thanks again :)
 
Hi Tyler,

Great thread! I have a question - I got a Tiffany's sterling silver bottle stopper w/ cork stopper for a wedding gift (almost 2 years ago). I never used it until now. On the first use, the cork wouldn't come out of the bottle and completely broke off! Most of it is still stuck in the bottle. Will they either replace the cork or replace the entire item? Do you happen to know if this happened to other people, because I see on the website the only sterling bottle stopper now has a rubber stopper instead of cork? Also, the item is from NY, but I have since moved to Amsterdam. Do you think the Amsterdam store will be able to help me (assuming that Tiffany's will be able to fix/replace it?)?

Many, many thanks in advance! :)

I can't say for sure but often they will replace items for customers in situations such as this. One problem however is exchanging items in other countries, Tiffany's is pretty strict about not doing this. The reason being is that by exchanging it in another country you essentially imported the item to The Netherlands for them and Tiffany's being a law abiding company would have to pay duties on that item. You can always try however you may have end up having to send it to NY.

Hi Tyler,

Many thanks for your quick response!! I will check with the store here, but I understand what you mean about the import duties. The store here is quite new, so I would imagine that would make it even less likely for them to exchange it. My parents are visiting in 6 weeks, so I will send it back to NY with them if necessary. That would probably be better than mailing back, as I may cause other customs duty issues trying to re-import to the USA by mail. ;)

Thanks again!
 
Hi Tyler! I to post in authenticate too, but what do you think of this? You say Irid Plat not Tiffany mark, but possible on vintage to be like this? I see this set on ebay and think is really pretty... thanks for opinion!

It looks nice, it's hard to say if it's authentic because there are so few pieces like this. When spending that kind of money I would want some sort of reassurance that it's authentic. It is possible that they could have switched out the stones. I would see what their return policy is and have the piece looked at by a certified gemologist either at Tiffany's or somewhere else.
 
Hi Tyler!
I recently purchased a Tiffany's charm as a gift, but the recipient doesn't have a Tiffany's bracelet. My SA mentioned that I can get the charm soldered on the bracelet, but does that only apply if the bracelet is Tiffany's? Said bracelet also has a charm that can be engraved...would Tiffany's engrave a piece that isn't their own?

They'll solder a charm onto a non-Tiffany bracelet but they won't engrave a non-Tiffany item. Any engraver could do this for you however.
 
Hi Tyler,
What do you think about the Lucida® Three Stone engagement ring? Can you tell me a bit more about it? What is the ctw of the side stones for a ring that is 1ctw? Also, have you ever seen a person with size 5 ring finger try it on? If so what did you think of the finger coverage?

On the website it says "Please call for pricing and availability." does that mean they are discontinuing that ring style?

I'm not sure what size the side stones are on a 1 ct. Lucida ring since it's been a while since I worked there, I'm guessing .25 each. If you're a size 5 I think the Lucida will be a little overpowering as it's a not a very dainty design. All engagement rings on the website say to call for pricing because every ring is different and therefore have different prices, too many to list on their site.
 
Hey Tyler - I haven't had time to review the whole forum, so please forgive me if you have already answered this....I wanted to get some vintage Tiffany and I found a "return to Tiffany" bracelet at a local pawn shop. I triple love it and really want to buy it...I wanted to get some more information on the serial number that it has on it? I see the new ones don't have a unique number on them - or do they? I did an exhaustive search of the Tiffany web site for answers, but came up with Nada....can you help me? Thanks in advance...

The number on those bracelets is not registered. It's for people to register after they have bought it so in case you lose it and someone returns it to a Tiffany store, Tiffany's will send it back to you. That is assuming someone brings it into a store...not likely. Honestly, unless the price is very, very, cheap I would recommend buying it directly from Tiffany's at about $250. That way you have peace of mind knowing that it's authentic. Oh, and I think all the new RTT bracelets have unique serial numbers on them.
