Anyone ever buy a tiffany's engagement ring?

I was just curious about the price.

For like 3/4 - 1 ct.

I actually would prefer one with the sapphire side stones.

Just curious how much we are talking.

well ya geniuses why don't you go to the tiffany's website and actually see if they have detailed prices ... oh wait THEY DONT. HENCE why i'd ask.

All they do is show start pricing. They ONLY price for what they have in the store. HENCE ... why i asked for tose with experience.

Kasim, I'll find out the price for you if you buy it for me.

I went to the Tiffany's website and they only showed starting price. One started at $2000. Don't know how many carats it was. If you add in sapphire stones, my guess is it could be anywhere over $3000 or $4000.

The person you are giving this to is VERY lucky.

I found this on the website:

THREE STONE SAPPHIRE
WITH DIAMOND SIDE STONES
The royal blue of a Tiffany sapphire
is complemented by carefully matched
round-brilliant diamond side stones.

Priced from approximately $3,500

Not *exactly* what you are looking for (you said sapphire side stones), but hopefully close to what you want.

Is this what you're looking for?

THREE STONE WITH SAPPHIRE SIDE STONES
A round-brilliant Tiffany diamond of superlative
quality is embraced by carefully matched sapphire
side stones.

Priced from approximately $3,390

ETA: Don't know what would exactly increase the price of this ring - perhaps the type of metal they use? Now that you have a base price, you should schedule an in-store consultation, especially with an item this expensive!

Do you want us to try it on for you too??

Here's a link from Tiffany's with a diamond and a sapphire on each side. Exactly, I believe what you're looking for.

It amazes me that people on this site are willing to research and respond to a moronic posting. It must be nice to either not have to work or to blow off work to respond to idiotic questions.

Tiffany. Not Tiffany's...always Tiffany.

Unless you're giving the ring to someone NAMED Tiffany, in which case it becomes Tiffany's ring. Even then, Tiffany's ring is a Tiffany ring, not a ring from Tiffany's.

kasim - there won't be a "fixed' price for the ring, as every diamond is different, and thus has a different value. The price for the setting will be fixed usually. The diamond that goes into the setting has its own price tag. So, the ultimate price will depend on the quality, cut, size, color, etc. of the diamond you are purchasing.

The "start" pricing people have provided is probably a good guide, and seems about right.

Your best bet is to go into the Tiffany store, see the rings, and talk the associate about the quality of the diamond and the price. Theoretically, two of the same ring (say, a 1c princess cut diamond in a specific setting) could be hundreds, even thousands of dollars different in price depending on the quality of the diamond. I imagine Tiffany sets a certain minimum quality standard for the diamonds it sells though.

Good luck! Are you proposing to someone?

yeah thanks for checking out the site.

i've been all on it. But those are all starting prices. So that really didnt answer what i needed. I just hoped someone had actually done it.

Well, good luck to you kasim!

Check out some of your local jewelers as well, just to see if they have comparable settings and the types of diamonds you are interested in. This will help you get an idea, and get some research done. It's a big purchase, so make sure to do your research!

thanks again peach.

yeah i have been to some local jewelers. Honestly not too impressed with what i want there. My decision making process takes quite a while.

So if it happens it wont be till the winter. But i like knowing what to put a few extra bucks aside for.

Funny story... a friend of mine was in T&Co in the city about a month ago with his girlfriend. They were looking at rings just for the fun of it (he's all about doing it up right) and she tried one on she liked and it fit. He bought it and proposed right there.

The wedding is next August

Tiffany was our (my boyfriend and I) first place for an engagement/wedding rings, and they all kinda sucked.

We ended up with Ben Bridge, and couldn't ask for better service. We bought our engagement rings there, and we're in the process of buying our wedding rings.
