Question Best Place to Buy Tiffany's Jewellery ?

As the title says really, I'm looking for the best place to get a good deal on Tiffany jewellery, be it on the internet or in a shop.

Preferably in the UK

Thanks

As above, wifes stuff has either been from New Bond street or 5th Ave. People can say what they like about "paying for the name" and "better stuff from the back alley stores in Birmingham" but you get on jet to NY with your wife and roll up at that store on 5th to collect your item in its little blue box and you are getting laid that night

As Tiggs says - Bond Street or 5th Ave.

Be sure not to tell your wife that it is possible to be through customs at JFK and inside the 5th Avenue store within 45 minutes!

To be honest its s rip off. My girl friend got two braclets for christmas and she found the receipts yesterday. All she said was 'what a complete waste of money.' I think the whole blue box thing was lost on her.

Would you settle for a top grade Hovis loaf and a cup of Gold Blend, Scoobychick?

Rip Off - ranks up there with PC in the list of overused words!

Tiffany should only be bought from Tiffany shops, Royal Exchange in the city, Bond street W1, or even better America

Either Tiffany website or the shops/concessions themselves within Harrods. Their website is useful if you don't live anywhere near London as the postage costs are very reasonable and delivery is speedy.
I'd never buy it from any but the above.

PS It was 45 mins from JFK customs to 5th Ave including hotel check in on Central Park South

It is product sold on the strength of a brand name not on the quality of the product. Elsewhere the same quality jewelry is available at half the cost but give a girl an H-samual boox and see what she says.

Personally I disagree. I don't like the quality of workmanship on H Samuel stuff and seeing the same things on other people.
I've not seen anyone else with the same Tiffany earrings as I have either but most of my jewellery comes from specialist gold / silversmiths as one-offs.

I know EXACTLY what you mean
.
.
.
.

"This hotel's air-con is too cold"

"My feet hurt; the shoes don't fit"

"That maid was giving me a dirty look"

"There aren't enough freebies for me to pinch in the bathroom"

"The pillow you're smothering me with isn't hypo allergenic"

I think you're better off with Links of London. Sweetie bracelets are nice.

Tiffany's was a bit 2002 I think.
