DBF got me this tiffany rose gold key. The key is pretty and would go with casual and dressier outfits but I don't want to go through the rose gold fading issue. Ive hinted to DBF about the issue and he gets why I'm worried. I'm not too into gold jewelry.
I feel like I want to return the necklace and add in my Christmas money to upgrade for a trinity ring or get it as a valentines gift. Haven't thought of exactly what to do. I have quite a bit of tiffany but yet to own any cartier so I thought would be a good starter piece. The design is such a classic that i know ill get years of wear. I could get a lot more wear out of the ring as I only have a diamond paved band.
Don't know how to break this to DBF though. Feels like I should just accept what he got me and not hurt his feelings. What do you guys think? Keep necklace. Exchange for ring Or keep the necklace and buy the ring myself. lol

I would keep the necklace. It is a beautiful piece and one that your BF put thought into. I wouldn't want to risk hurting his feelings and make him worry about future gifts. I have Tiffany RG and personally haven't experienced the fading that other people have posted about. I think the color looks great on you. As for the Trinity it is a classic piece that will always be there. Good luck with your decision.

I would definitely keep the necklace. Exchanging it for something else could risk hurting your bf's feelings. Plus, it's a beautiful necklace! I wouldn't worry about it fading. Just enjoy wearing it!

Personally, I would keep the key necklace.

DBF obviously put a lot of thought and a decent amount of money into your gift. It might hurt his feelings if you exchange the necklace, and I agree that it might turn him off of other such purchases in the future.

The Cartier Trinity is a classic piece that will always be around... Perhaps save up and purchase one for yourself, or save up a portion and then hint around for the next holiday that you've had your eye on it and that it would go well with your lovely key necklace, but that you don't quite have enough saved... ?

I would keep it as well. One thing I've learned over 13 years of marriage is that when my husband buys me jewelry, to keep it. He gets his feelings hurt when I return his gifts because he is NOT a jewelry giver, so the pieces he has given me have meaning to him.

I understand your point, about wanting to spend his money on something you'll get the most wear out of and can stand the test of time.

However, it's probably best not to try and stress out over your chickens before they hatch in these case. Very very many people have never experienced trouble with their RG fading, so there is a chance this won't ever be an issue for you. If it DOES become an issue, you can bring the piece to Tiffany and see what they say...odds are you'll be dealing with getting a replacement of your choice at that point, or some kind of store credit. Tiffany does stand behind their pieces, so you're a) never going to walk in there with a very yellow piece, and then b) be told to like it or lump it.

For now, I think you should enjoy your lovely gift, and do as others have suggested and save up for the trinity yourself, or hint that this is what you want next time around (gently). One thing to bear in mind is that if you're getting the classic trinity, this also includes RG, and could run the same risk...something that will be hard to explain to your BF when you're trying to justify a swap without hurting his feelings.

Beautiful necklace! I hope you get to keep this one and wear a trinity ring very soon.

I would definitely keep it. I think it's a gorgeous piece and that it looks great on you, but what's most important it was a gift. If your BF chosed it for you and this is something he really likes I would stick to it. As for the trinity I agree that it's a classic piece, but I would wait and buy it myself rather than risk to hurt your BF's feelings :)

+1 - totally agree!!! The Trinity Ring is not going anywhere! You can always buy it later. Then, you can wear both pieces at the same time! :graucho:

I would keep the necklace, since you won't want to hurt your bf's feelings. None of my rose gold pieces have faded and i've had them for years. Besides, it looks very pretty on you. You can always get the ring later, or for another occasion. :smile1:
