Tiffany sola/soleste

[materialgurl]

Yeah, take a break. It's not happening for a while, so I think it's best if you stop looking and stressing about it now but resume looking again a month before the purchase date, especially since diamond prices will fluctuate and what you find now may be gone/higher in price later. If you are set on spence, I won't dissuade you, but don't sacrifice quality or be swayed by the seduction of a perceived good warranty for carat size. The fact that spence does in house grading is a little alarming.

Agreed.

I think if you're set on tiffs then you won't be happy with anything else.

My bf just bought the soleste... I was also contemplating between getting a bigger diamond NOT from tiffs. But it's always been my dream to have a tiffany ring. So though I didn't get my desired carat size... 2 ct and over I love my ring! I'd post a pic but bf doesn't want me to post until we're officially engaged, otherwise I would love to share!!

I think we're going to eventually go to spence. They seem like the safest place warranty wise since they will replace the center stone if it falls out. I like that we can get a 2 carat as well. I think I'm just exhausted of thinking about it 24/7. I'd rather just get an idea of what I like so I can tell James and he can just do it. I'll just get an idea of colour and clarity and he can do the rest!

OMG please do NOT go with them. Insurance will replace a center stone, you have no idea if Spence will be around forever, you have no idea what the hoops are on that "warranty". I think you will get a much better stone and ring if you go with another vendor. They just sound dishonest.

Get the Soleste! Let him pick out the color, size, and clarity at Tiffany's. He can't go wrong. I'll be damned if I hear "My piece of s**t Tiffany's diamond fell out."

Or, just tell your boyfriend your specs and your preferences, have him go to pricescope, and let the members there do the work of finding the perfect ring for you. And you won't have to think about it.

Consider that your future ring may be lost, stolen, or damaged. If your homeowner's or renter's insurance doesn't cover it, you would need jewelry insurance because Tiffany's, Spence, and every other store/vendor would not cover it. So the Spence "warranty" is really worthless.

I want to make sure it's a GIA graded stone and I will definitely be looking into colour and clarity. I know I'm not going lower than vs2.

You guys are all making good points lol I've always dreamed of having a tiffany ring... my mind always goes back to the soleste. Maybe white and maybe yellow. Maybe that's what I can spend my time doing!!

I am SO in love with my Soleste. I only went into Tiffanys to see what I wanted and as soon as I put the Soleste on, it was over. I did go elsewhere to look at stones that were larger, but nothing ever compared, TO ME. I could not be happier!! All I do all day is take pictures, is this normal haha

Oohh bagOtrix I may need you to send me a copy of that New York Weddings mag....

I totally agree - get what you want and have it insured, and don't worry about warranty's. The diamond SHOULD NOT fall out if it's well made anyway! Not to say it won't happen, but I'd say you have more chance of it being stolen or damaged than falling out of the setting. And yes, with the way the economy is you NEVER know if they'll be around next year anyway!

Agreed.

If it's been your dream then that's what you should have! I'm the same way.

I don't know Spence but totally agree... I'd go with Blue Nile in a second over them!

haha! Yeah have to say I've never heard that one!

I adore the soleste - it's SO STUNNING in real life! SO SPARKLY!!!

I am SO in love with my Soleste. I only went into Tiffanys to see what I wanted and as soon as I put the Soleste on, it was over. I did go elsewhere to look at stones that were larger, but nothing ever compared, TO ME. I could not be happier!! All I do all day is take pictures, is this normal haha

I know that feeling! Once I fell for the classic solitaire (I'd gone in to see if I liked six prongs over four) that was it! Your soleste is to DIE for!!! Congrats! Don't worry, staring for hours and taking pictures all day is totally normal when you get a ring like that!

I've been in spence diamonds a bunch of times. I am not impressed by the quality of their ready made jewellery so I doubt I would be impressed by their engagement rings either.....tiffany is far superior and if it means going down in carat size I would definitely go tiffany over spence!

I would be taking a million pics if I had that stunner!!! What carat weight is it?

I just wanted to mention that I have been looking into good old gold! I was talking to James about going to tiffanys, and we wanted to see if they would some how customize it for us with only one halo, not likely but I was thinking about it, since I know that you can pick a diamond first then have then create the setting for you etc but once I went onto good old gold, I immediately fell in love the the August vintage cushions! I actually just finished a half hour video on cushion cut diamonds and all the information I could have ever needed to make a decision in the end on a diamond. I normally fall in love with a setting and james HATES it, which to me means moving onto another one... But we both watched the video attached to the "perfect halo" and fell in love!! Im going to keep looking around the website. I want to know more about their warranty and things like cleaning etc... But I can't believe it took me so long to check them out!!

Ohhh now THAT is a decision I can get behind! I've seen them in person, and they are DELICIOUS. IF you can swing a trip up there, do it. Then you can pick the stones in person, and they can ship the ring to you when it's done.
