Who knows anything about Tiffany jewellery?
Ok so here I am looking at buying this for my gf for xmas:
Tiffany & Co. | Item | Paloma Picasso® Loving Heart pendant in sterling silver. | United Kingdom
And after a bit of searching I come up with this:
Tiffany & Co. Paloma Picasso® LOVING HEART pendant, small - Necklace - Tiffany Jewelry Necklace Bracelet Ring Earrings
Same item but for about £35 instead of £100...............
So is it a con? Cos it looks like a genuine enough website to me?
Any ideas?

I've bought a fair amount of Tiffany jewellery and the difference between the genuine article and the fakes that flood the market are blindingly obvious when presented side by side. The 'other' site are very much fakes.

Their photos show the tiffany logos and all the genuine boxes etc. I guess it does say they use the photos from Tiffany themselves.
Here is their statement:
For every piece of Tiffany & Co.'s jewellery, we are presenting both Tiffany & Co.'s official picture of it, and the ones taken by our professional photographer. This intends to show you how the jewellery looks in real, and differentiate us from other sellers of Tiffany & Co. jewellery on the web who only use the official website's pictures and that could becloud the real issues. We guarantee what you buy is what you see.
Hmmmmm. Dont wanna take the risk with something like this. I knew it had to be too good to be true but then we are only talking sterling silver.

Tiffany & Co. LOVING HEART Pendant - Pendants
Ok so here we have the same necklace for £34..........
Is this a guaranteed fake?
If so, why haven't they been shut down?!

Yes, I assure you they're fakes. You can even tell from the little pic. Look at the way the heart crosses over on the fakes, compare that to the original one which is smooth and flat.

Fakes, look at where the chain loops are.
I got my mrs that exact thing with the matching ear rings a few years ago but went to the shop rather than get online as I didn't want to get caught out.

After looking at the pics I can see easily that they are different and will only be silver plated.
Glad I got the proper one
Only problem is that now I was looking at a pic I took of her and she's wearing a very similar necklace to the one I've bought!!!! What a nightmate!
I just hope to god its a cheapo jobbie and I dont wanna ruin the surprise and ask her.

Tiffany is overpriced marketing driven crap. I still got the ex some though and she clearly had no idea how much it cost and the blue box thing was lost on her. Two signature silver bangles cost about £700 and I did not even get a blow job. Frankly I could have got them from H samuel for about a fiver.
