Sick o' Tiffany! I LOVED it in the early 90's, now every hairdresser and waiter has it or a complete knock off! I have a private jeweler now, for the same money will do an original piece and source the diamonds ( I love colored stones) for me and do it in platinum. For fun different necklaces, I love Baccarat and Cartier is great for my rose gold fix. LV jewelry is fun too, the inclusion and sweet monogram is great for summer. Dior is making some gorgeous fine jewelry this year and Chanel never dissapoints. Hope this give ya some new ideas!

i'm going to apologize in advance for perhaps overracting (i've had a very long week)...

i completely understand wanting to have something special but these two comments really really bothered me. as a waitress and full time student i work extremely hard for my money. because of my job, people often think it's ok to say HORRIBLE things to me, things they would NEVER say to any other complete stranger. i deal with people you would not even believe all the while keeping a smile on my face. i like my job for the most part, but it's just that, a job. it does NOT define who i am or whether i have good taste or not...at the end of the day my money is EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS YOURS. i may not have as much of it, but damn do i appreciate it.

please keep that in mind next time you judge the person who brings you your food. :D

Oh, Ilzabet, my comment was to LV Addict - not you and I used her quote in my reply. The reason I used the emoticon "laughing out loud" was because I was being facetious.

As you know, with the internet, there can be misunderstandings.

I should have went onto say my hairdresser owns her salon and many waiters in nice restaurants make an excellent living!
I apologize Ilzabet. My intent and attempt at being facetious was lost in my post. :sad:

p.s.
I think it's irrelevant if one thinks a a brand of jewelry is too common for them and to further their point, they belittle a subset of people for wearing Tiffany jewelry.

^^^thanks for explaining that layla. i consider myself pretty good at decifering tone on the internet but i did miss the facetiousness this time. now who has egg on their face. that would be me. :yes: you didn't have to explain yourself, but i do appreciate it. :flowers:

this was my point. if you don't like something fine, but don't *stop* liking something because you see a non socialite wearing it. after all, your hair dresser has enough taste to do your hair well and your waitress has enough class to give you a pleasant dining experience. :cool:

Exactly ilzabet. I agree wholeheartedly. :yes:

Whooops! I just meant to say it is all around, it was so not a slam at the service industry, as a former bartender and waitress, it had nothing to do with the earnings or socalite factor. I guess I should have completely explained my opinion since we aren't all from the same part of the world. IMO I am now turned off of Tiffany because of the attitude that has come with the individuals who are wearing these items in the service industry. It is nice to have things that make you happy, but when it is on the wrist or neck of people you are paying for a service and they are rude, it tends to make you go off them. And believe me I don't go back to those places either if I can help it! Sorry, I usually don't generalise. Mea Cupla!

I'm having a great week LVaddict. I appreciate your concern though.

Let your "mea culpa" stand...there's nothing more to be said.

My Misspelled mea culpa and concern for the hard week was meant for ilzabet, since I obviously added to it! Maybe it was just jealousy? Cause those are the people who work in the posh establishments and make more money than me and my friends do! Yes, I work for my jewelry and have a kid! Sometimes we all get it wrong!

I know what I like and I buy what I want. I love Tiffany's designs. People say they are everywhere on everyone.. HUH? I see some but not so often that it would bother me, besides, when I see someone with Tiffany's I think, now there's a nice piece of jewelry, a woman with good taste just like me! :wlae:

Overpriced and overrated. I do have the heart toggle necklace and return to tiffany bracelet but thats pretty much it. If I wanted gold and diamond jewelry, I prefer getting from a reputable jeweller thats affordable.
 
#58
i own quite a bit of tiffany stuff and i do love it to bits, i do agree that there are way too many other people wearing it now so i mix it with other jewellery for example local good jewellers, i wear a lot of pearl jewellery, also gucci does some lovely jewellery as does louis vuitton. i think it's great to buy from tiffany's it timeless etc but make sure it's not all you wear! boyfriend is refusing to buy me anything from there as he doesn't like how everyone has it, would prefer to get unique pieces that are less common :)

i think the worst thing is the fakes! i have laughed at some hideous fakes!!! i can't believe people think they're real, heaps of the designs don't exist on the website!!! silly people!!

Tiffany is an investment. you buy it for the design, the brand and the quality. I used to be obsessed with their silver jewelry and now as I got older, I only look at their diamond selection. although pricy, you know what you are getting is worth every penny. My engagement ring and wedding bands are Lucida which is a design by Tiffany and I love it because I wouldnt get it anywhere else.

Overall, I love tiffany, and it helps that we can get an upgrade in the future :O)
