I know this is truly off topic, but does anyone know anything about Tiffany& Co. Jewelery?- Page 2

I adore the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's" though! It would make a great musical! Put lyrics to the rest of Hank Mancini's movie score, in addition to "Moon River."

Didn't David Merrick close the musical "Holly Golightly"/"Breakfast At Tiffany's" because he deemed it too dull? Poor Mary Tyler Moore.

Hey Scotty, I vaguely remember such a musical. Thank you. That was then. This is now. And heavens to Betsy, they make a musical out of ANYTHING now. :))) If there's a dep-or re-pression, there is no repression on big buck$ to do musicals! Riddle me that?

Here's the front but I'm having trouble getting a picture of the signature behind the heart...

The thing is, it only sells for $200 new. Unless it's just the picture, it looks rather dinged up. You won't get much, if anything, for it.

It's actually in pretty good condition- it's just ridiculously hard to take a good picture of...

The heart shape doesn't look quite right. Could be the picture, but if it's not, good luck getting $15-20 for it, unless it has a proper Tiffany provenance, which might get you a bit more. Here's a thought: take it to a Tiffany store. At the least, they can clean & polish it for you so it looks decent.

It's a little more difficult for me to judge without the ring being in my hand to look at, but from what I can see, the Somerset ring you found is a fake. Not only is the heart not thick enough, the top of the heart is misshapen. It's one of the better knockoffs I've seen, but not a great one.

Sorry.

Haha, I think I'm actually ok with this. I'm still going to see if it's silver though, just out of sheer hope.


Thanks guys!!!! :)

Juliash, it probably is silver. 925 indicates sterling. Lower numbers indicate silver, but not sterling, which is the only type of silver Tiffany works in.

Either which way, unless it's the real McCoy, silver's worth somewhere around $9+change per ounce, so scrap value for that ring is negligible.
