As an independent jewelry designer, I'm trying to understand the psychology behind women spending thousands of dollars on Tiffany jewelry. Can someone help me out and tell me what draws you to Tiffany? I have done extensive research and I find it crazy how much people are willing to spend on - mostly - silver jewelry that Tiffany makes and pay an outrageous amount just for one reason. The name Tiffany. I call it brainwashed. If you look at how much silver is worth in the market today, and look what you are paying at Tiffany - is that not insane?

For me, I'll like the design and quality, it won't be offered in gold, and the price is low enough to buy despite the material not being my preference. Yes, I can get gold pieces for a similar price, but they're rarely the same caliber of craftsmanship. Materials aren't the only factor.

100% agree - Plus I hate the idea of buying a copy of a design. It is like buying a knock off handbag when someone buys a piece that is in style of or same design as a designer piece.

As with all designer items Tiffany jewelry will only continue to go up in price and will hold its value providing great resale value. The resale value on regular jewelry is terrible but the resale on Tiffany jewelry is amazing. Many times sellers are able to get back close to what they paid especially with Tiffany gold and diamond pieces. For example I bought a pair of white gold and diamond earrings March 2015 and those same earrings are selling now for $700 more than what i paid! If after another year or two should i get bored of them i could sell them and get back the money i had paid for them if not a little more!

As for the prices of silver jewelry even Pandora is ridiculously over priced and isn't as high quality or shiny as the Tiffany's silver. So why not save a little more and pay the Tiffany premium and get something timeless and high quality? *(not trying to bash Pandora, love it but just don't own any ).

I truly love the Tiffany designs, the history and the quality. They are great heirloom pieces. I don't have any children but i hope to pass down my Tiffany jewelry to my kids and grandkids one day.

I have to admit, it is a bit large;)
There was no chance to try it before, because my store didn't have it in stock.
And now, its kind of growing to me.....I like it more and more:graucho:
I cannot give it back anymore:cool:
Tomorrow I will try Jeans and a black top.
Thank you:smile1:
