Hey Tyler, Is it too much to ask for a platinum w/diamonds wedding band I just bought to be perfectly polished? The band "face" is ok, but the sides of the band (or I guess you could call them top and bottom?) have some fine scratches and about three very, very shallow dings - they are quite hard to see. Is this something that usually occurs on Tiffany's platinum jewelry (before sale, of couse)?

Will the dings polish out? I'm debating whether I should wear it a bit before sending it out to NY for polish since I know polishing removes some of the metal. So if the dings will polish out, I'll just wait a bit.

Thank you so much, and, yes, I know I'm very "particular." lol

It's possible that this could happen with jewelry that's been tried on in the store. There's really no way to tell if it's been tried on or just come straight from manufacturing. I don't think polishing will help much, you have a 30 day return policy, I recommend you exchange it for another one.

Hmmm... they told me that polishing would take out the fine scratches, and I had it resized so they say I can't return it. :(

Hey Tyler. I just have a curiousity question for you. Since you left T&Co have you gone back and shopped there? Is there anything new out now that you would want bad enough to buy it even without your discount? If you've been back have you noticed a decline in the quality of their products? I have been shopping there for a little over a year and even in that little time have noticed a change in their manufacturing. The last two necklaces I bought (Bean and 1837 Interlocking Circles) came in felt (not suede) pouches with the "Tiffany and Company" name looking like it was ironed onto it rather than printed and the tags marked "Tiffany and Co" on the necklaces themselves look thin enough that I'd swear they were fake if I hadn't bought them at the store myself. It looks like you left the company at a good time. Do you ever think of going back? I still like a lot of the designs they sell so I will keep going back for now. I'm just surprised at the changes.

I haven't been back but I know what you mean. I noticed the quality going downhill in just the few years that I was working there. My theory is that because Tiffany is a public company in order to satisfy shareholders they look for ways to cut costs and it looks like they've done this by skimping on the quality of their products. This isn't sustainable in my opinion, eventually people will lose interest. They should figure out other ways to reduce costs rather than lowering the quality of their products.
I still feel like their fine jewelry is made well though and it's sad but if you want better quality you have to spend more. Personally as I get older I notice that my taste gets finer so the fine jewelry appeals to me more anyway.

You could but the chances of them having it may not be likely. There are so many different variations in quality that each store doesn't have each variation in each style, although it should be available in the company somewhere. Also their rings only come in size 6. I would recommend going in and consulting with their SA's and if they have what you're looking for great, if not they can have it sent from another store.

Thanks Tyler your are so helpful. I have a couple more questions. Are they more likely to have more smaller carats or larger carats at the store? I'm looking for 2.0-2.5 carat Tiffany Legacy or Tiffany Round Brilliant Bead-Set border, can't decide. Do you have any opinions of the two e-rings? Next question is emailing Tiffany reliable and are they are only certain type of question I can ask them through email, is calling better?

It depends on which store you go to. Stores like Beverly Hills and NY would have much more rings in a larger carat size. Other stores may have just a couple rings in that size range. I personally like the Legacy design better myself. Email is fine if you email the store, I don't know about emailing their CS Dept. because I've never gotten any feedback about customer's experiences with them.

Does the legacy design setting work on 2 different shapes of diamonds? Which do you like most of the legacys and do you think this design helps make center stone look larger than it is? Thanks so much for your expertise!
