Do Tiffany diamonds hold their value?
Because of the ongoing, high demand for Tiffany jewelry, and because of the timeless design and high quality associated with Tiffany engagement rings and other jewelry, and ongoing marketing and advertising by Tiffany, Tiffany jewelry retains its value more than any other branded jewelry.
What diamond quality does Tiffany use?
Tiffany only accepts engagement diamonds in the “colorless” and “near colorless” range on a diamond color scale. For engagement diamonds, Tiffany only accepts D, E, F, G, H and I color diamonds. Fancy color diamonds such as yellow or pink diamonds have their own color grades.
Are Tiffany diamonds more expensive?
Tiffany & Co diamond rings are more expensive because they only sell exceptional quality jewelry. The money spent on one of their rings is a more worthy investment compared to a cheaper diamond ring containing low-quality stones. Tiffany is notorious for their reputation and status.
Does Tiffany buy back old jewelry?
Many people wonder if Tiffany’s will buy back their own jewelry. While Tiffany & Co. has excellent customer service, buying back diamond jewelry is not something they do unless it has been 30 days or less since the original sale. We allow you to sell Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany will not negotiate on price and they don”t offer one-year financing, although I think they offer some sort of shorter-term payment plan. When you buy Tiffany engagement rings, you pay a huge premium for the name.
Are Tiffany prices negotiable?
How do you authenticate Tiffany jewelry?
Yes, every jewellery item of the brand comes with the marking “Tiffany & Co.” along with the metal’s purity mark. However, every stamp or logo on genuine Tiffany jewellery should be perfectly engraved and aligned. The engravings are always centred, legible, and sharp. They should not be blurred or difficult to read.

Tiffany only uses sterling silver, one of the most beautiful and lustrous of all metals. Sterling silver is a precious metal and may require cleaning from time to time. With proper care, your silver will retain its beauty and character for many generations to come.
Does Gia grade mounted diamonds like Tiffany’s?
One interesting thing about Tiffany’s Grading Process is this: They grade Diamonds BEFORE and AFTER they’ve been set. GIA doesn’t do this. GIA ONLY grades loose stones so they can see everything inside and outside of the stone. They don’t grade mounted Diamonds. Grading Stones that are already set can actually hide Inclusions.
What is the worst diamond quality that Tiffany sells in-store?
Based on the information I garnered from their sales brochures and their sales representatives, the worst diamond quality that Tiffany carries in-store is I color and SI1 clarity. Speaking from a gemological perspective, I want you to understand that there’s nothing wrong with diamonds in the lower color grades.
Are the Tiffany engagement rings prices correct?
Tiffany engagement rings prices correct as of 27th Dec 2014 and are not inclusive of any local taxes. The diamonds come with varying standards in polish/symmetry which can range from ratings with Good to Excellent. The sales representative did offer a few other options for my consideration but they were all of lower color ratings.
Can I upgrade my Tiffany’s diamond ring?
For Tiffany’s diamond rings, you can do an upgrade by trading in your old ring for a new one that’s at least 2 times of the original price. For example, if your old ring costs $5,000, your new purchase must be of at least $10,000 in value.
