When it comes to jewelry stores, no store comes close to the brand name reputation and brand image that Tiffany’s and Co. has built. The company has made girls across the globe swoon over their jewelry and dream of receiving the little blue engagement ring boxes that it comes in.

The company has benefited from this “brand image” and is able to charge astronomical markups because of it. Many people walk into Tiffany’s because they figure they are the best. Why settle for anything else, right?

I can’t argue that Tiffany’s has built a fantastic business. Looking at it strictly as a businessman I love what they have done.

But from a customers viewpoint I cringe at the thought of buying from them. When you shop at Tiffany’s, you are buying a name of the engagement ring box.

The diamonds that Tiffany’s carries can be found elsewhere for a fraction of the price. I’m talking 40% off…..even as high as 60-70% less if you know what to look for. It’s insane how much money these guys ask for their jewelry.

And to make things worse, Tiffany’s now grades all their diamonds in-house. When you buy a Tiffany’s engagement ring, the grading report for the diamond is issued by Tiffany’s themselves – not an independent lab or appraiser. This makes me very uncomfortable!

Tiffany’s claims they are as strict as AGS or GIA(the two grading labs with the strongest reputations), however this has been reported to not be the case when diamonds from Tiffany’s have been sent to GIA or AGS for examination. Obviously, they know that the higher grades the diamond receives – the more they can charge.

The jewelry at Tiffany’s is beautiful. I rarely see a Tiffany’s engagement ring boxes that I don’t think is stunning. However, what is even more stunning is that they get away with charging the prices they do.

There is a ton of money in the diamond industry and Tiffany’s is certainly making the most of it. If you are shopping for an engagement ring, or any diamond for that matter, make sure you take the time to do a little research.

I put together a guide (available at my website) to make it easy. It goes over plenty of ways to save cash and make sure you find her dream diamond. Hopefully it helps.

Tiffany’s isn’t going anywhere. People will continue to pay inflated prices for their jewelry and to be truthful, many will be happy with their purchase because they don’t know any better. However, I suggest you don’t fall into this category! You can find far better jewelry at a fraction of the price.

Your special someone(and your wallet!) will thanks me!

You’ve decided to propose… You thought about the words you’re going to say… Summoned the courage… But there’s on “little” thing left – choosing the ring of her dreams.
Grooms are often faced with different pros and cons when choosing a ring for engagement.

In order to make the right choice, you need to prepare well and be sure to know about 5 misconceptions about engagement rings. A bit of history. Pope Nicholas First had issued a decree that to prove their independence, the groom must give their fiancées an engagement ring made of gold. In 1215, Pope Innocent Third issued a similar decree, but the ring could be not only of gold, but silver and iron. The ring was meant to be worn during the length of the engagement.

Principles of choosing the ring:

- Material
- Stones
- Design

MATERIAL
The most commonly used material for the engagement ring is gold. Pure gold is never used because of its softness and fragility. Silver and copper are added to gold for strength and color.
Copper is used to achieve a pink tint of gold. 18 carat gold – yellow gold with the addition of silver – is considered the optimal for the Engagement Ring.

Particular attention should be paid when buying a ring of white gold. In order to achieve that shade, nickel or palladium are used as additives. Generally, manufacturers do not indicate the full composition of gold, and it should be inquired from sellers. An important fact to consider is that palladium is a precious metal and is also hypoallergenic. Nickel is not as valuable and can cause skin irritation.

In recent years platinum has become a metal of choice for Engagement Rings. Platinum is valued more than gold, but loses to white gold in color. Platinum has a dirty-gray tint.

STONE
Classification of diamonds depends on the value measured in carats, color, clarity and cut.

Carat – the notional value equal to one grain. Weight: 1 carat = 0,2gr, the more carats in a diamond, the more valuable it is, however, not only the size is important.

It seems that diamonds are colorless. However, they are not. Natural color of diamonds – shades of yellow and brown. The more colorless the stone, the more valuable it is.

Stones of saturated colors – red, blue, yellow, purple, pink are called fancy. Naturally colored diamonds are very rare and very expensive.

Cleanness – the most significant factor in determining the quality of the diamond. The most precious stone is a diamond of pure water, ie most pure and without inclusions. According to some classifications, the most quality diamonds are those with a performance from 1 to 5.

Diamond cut affects its shape and shine. With the right cut the diamond can look even bigger.

DESIGN
Trends in the design of Engagement Rings are divided into:

-Classic
-Fashion
-Art-design

Classic Engagement rings are composed of one or more of the brilliant-cut diamonds. Fashion Design Engagement rings implies the use of colored diamonds, different grinding metals (matte, glossy) and non-organic stones. Art-design includes vintage rings, as well as the use of unconventional materials such as wood, steel and so on.

And finally the five misconceptions:

1. Size always matters!

Let’s look the truth in her eyes – if your lady is mostly interested in the size of the diamond, this is probably not the kind of girl that you want. But all jokes aside – most of the women do not dream of an overly large stone in their ring.

More important, is that the ring matches the taste and style of your chosen one. Besides, most women are knowledgeable in diamonds and know about the cleanness of the stone and its color. Try to find out about her preferences and pick out a diamond ring which is of greater quality and of the desired cut. Not the one larger in size.

2. Same as her girlfriend’s.

Even if women often covet celebrity’s shoes or neighbor’s designer purse, no girl will want a ring similar to the one her friend or sister has. Today the fairer sex appreciates uniqueness, which would indicate to her that the man of her dreams went out of his way to find the one and only ring for his one and only! So if you know that your loved one absolutely loved her sister’s 3 carat princess cut white gold engagement ring, improvise, and give her a 3 carat round cut diamond set in a platinum setting.

3. The traditional ring.

Some think that perfect engagement ring boxes should fit the “definition” – the typical engagement ring – a diamond in the middle. However, in the past few years, this definition of engagement rings became obsolete. Modern brides and grooms often choose the rings that are original and those that do not resemble the boring definition. You can not pick a diamond ring, but with different stones around it. Or even dare to be super original and get an engagement ring with some other precious stone, like emerald.
This approach can be very rewarding but dangerous as well, and you better know the tastes of your future wife

4. White for the bride.

Yes, the white diamond on a white metal (whether white gold or platinum) looks like a win-win and is considered the best of the best combination for Engagement Ring. However, things are changing and the girls want new ideas and unique solutions. And some just do not wear white metal. Engagement rings made of yellow or rose gold are becoming more and more common. Pink gold is quickly gaining it popularity and becoming the metal of choice for engagement rings, not only because it’s pretty color, but also because it compliments any skin tone.

5. Only the chosen one knows.

Do not think that you need a specialist or an advisor for buying the perfect engagement ring. All it takes is those three steps and you’re guaranteed success:

- Do a little research. Ask around about the types of cuts, clarity and brilliant colors.
- Choose a reliable jewelry shop with good reputation.
- Know her ring size.

Whether you get your fiance an elegant blue box from Tiffany’s, luxury diamond from Cartier or a modest, but lovingly selected ring – is not important. The most important thing is the ring that conveys your feelings, and her “I Do!”.

For years, people have wrapped special gifts in something. Maybe ancients used parchment, leaves, twine and other organic materials. As civilization progressed, the materials became more sophisticated. Jewelry gift boxes are one of the most useful and beautiful developments.

* Why bother with packaging?

Well, there has to be some sort of method of giving the souvenir besides just handing her a bracelet and saying “Here you go”. But, it’s really more than making a special gift look beautiful. Part of the fun of getting gifts is the mystery and anticipation of what’s nestled inside a tiny jewelry box. It makes the whole experience more fun and surprising and everyone loves a surprise.

Women especially feel giddy when they see a tiny jewelry gift box just waiting to be opened. They try to guess if there will be gold, diamonds, rubies or pearls inside? Or is it a ring, earrings, necklace or bracelet? Opening the gift is half the fun!

* Presentation, Presentation, Presentation

Taking the time to pick the best wrapping for a piece of jewelry largely depends on what the gift is and the personality of the giver and receiver. Classic packages come in a variety of square and rectangular sizes.

A black leatherette necklace jewelry box is an elegant way to package a diamond necklace for a wedding or an anniversary. Box sets are also available for matching earrings and necklaces. All boxes are equipped to keep each piece in place. Soft velveteen or satin and cushioning are used to hold the pieces and to protect the jewelry from damage.

If something, a little difference is in order; there are also a variety of colors as well as other shapes to choose from. A red heart-shaped box is perfect for a Valentine’s Day present or for telling her ‘I love you’ for the very first time. It’s got color and character without being overly mushy. Or, for the really quirky guy or gal, red sexy lips serving as a ring box is a fun way to say I love you.

Colors are also a way to personalize gifts. Red, navy, black, purple and white are all popular colors used for jewelry packaging. Some are dressed up with gilded edges and other designs. For really special gifts or for a man, wooden boxes are also an option. Black lends an air of sophistication and elegance which is perfect when presenting a ring down on a bended knee. However, white is innocent which makes it a great choice for giving a pair of pearl earrings to a sweet sixteen.

* Other Uses

Beautiful jewelry gift boxes are also the perfect mode of storage for special pieces. Either for travel or just at home, packages specifically designed to hold bracelets, earrings or other pieces are just right. These lasting packages are also great to keep around if a piece is going to become a family heirloom. Handing over a family’s legacy in the original gift box is convenient and special.

No matter the occasion, beautiful gift boxes can build the right amount of suspense and excitement as the package is opened. Add a personal note and it will be a gift he or she remembers forever.

As a Christmas surprise my boyfriend asked me to marry him. It wasn’t very much of a surprise because I kinda figured it out before hand, but I didn’t lead on that I knew, because I wanted him to do it on his own.

Well, he asked me last night in front of his whole family, mom, dad, brothers, grandma.. but for some reason he seemed really reluctant to ask me. We have talked about marriage before, and I know he wants to marry me more than anything and I the same, but when he asked me he didn’t really sound confidant about it. He sorta mumbled it and he had this look in his eye like he didn’t want to do it. And now, every time I look at the ring that’s all I see…

So, not only do I want to cry every time I look at it but it’s not even my style, so I can’t honestly say that I like it. I mean, it’s pretty.. but it doesn’t look like an engagement ring to me. It’s much more elaborate and girly than anything I would have picked out.. But that doesn’t really bother me, heck he could have gotten me a ring from a cracker jack box and I wouldn’t care, but now every time I look at it all I can see is the way his eyes looked before he got down on his knee to ask me.

So what do I do now? I was very honest with him and I told him how I truly felt, so he is aware of that. We talked about it and he doesn’t know why he felt the way he did. He was probably nervouse to do it in front of his family which I can understand. But he asked to marry me before, and insisted on getting me a real ring (instead of his class ring) and asking me again. And when we talked about it there was no doubt in my mind that he didn’t want to get married.

But is it too much if I asked for another ring? Like possibly exchanging it and picking one out together.. I just don’t think I could go my whole life feeling the way I do every time I look at it..

My ex fiance (I’m 22, he’s 23) broke up with me about two months ago. Long story short- we got in a fight, he told his parents, they convinced him we shouldn’t be together. We didn’t talk for almost 6 weeks until I called him. We talked and it was normal and comfortable, just like it used to be. 2 weeks after that, my house was broken into and my jewelery box, among other things, was stolen with my engagement ring in it, so I called him and told him. He was there for me, just like he always used to be. We talked for about 45 minutes about that and other things too, mostly just small talk. At the end of the call, I heard his mom come in and say hey, who are you talking to. So he said, I have to go it was good talking to you, bye. Before I could say anything back, he had hung up. That was on Friday. On Monday, I called him to thank him for talking to me and being there for me, since I didn’t get to on Friday. He admitted he had to go because his mom came in and he didn’t want her to know we were talking. I asked why and he said because they might think we’re getting back together. I asked why they would think that and he said just because we’re talking again. After that, we talked about our weekends. I had been in a wedding. Little does he know, I cried through the whole thing because of him. When I was talking about it, I teared up and he asked me if I was ok. I said yeah and he said well it sounded like you were about to start crying. Then, he said are you going to ask me to get back together with you. I said what makes you think that and he said idk, it just sounded like you were leading up to it. He changed the subject and we talked about some other things until I asked him why he had asked me that and had he been thinking about it. He never really answered me, but said well, I’m kinda dating someone. However, he did admit that he misses me and misses us and that lots of things still remind him of me. He also said he still cares about me and if I was in trouble or needed help, he’d be right there. After that we talked some about why we broke up in the first place. He said he was always afraid of making me mad. We didn’t get to talk much, because I had to go to work. So I asked him if I could call the next day (yesterday) so we could talk about it some more. He said I’ll answer if I’m home. He didn’t answer. What do you think about all this? What should I do next? Or not do? I still love him and would love to fix this and be back together with him. What about his parents and their influence? He still lives at home. I just don’t know what I can do now. If you need more details, please ask!

P.S. NOT asking to be told to move on- just insight on what has happened and suggestions on what to do.

You’ve seen all those movies and shows were the main characters had pretty creative ways of surprising their partners with gifts. Take for instance, Ed Harris and Julia Roberts in Stepmom. Ed Harris tied a string on Julia Roberts ring finger and slipped an engagement ring.

I already surprised my wife with some pearl earrings hidden under the pillow. But she didn’t feel the box, so I actually had to give her a hint. I’d like to do better in surprising her with a second gift. This time I got her a Bulova watch.

I’ve been dating her for less than a year but I’ve known her for about 5 years. Right now, we’re doing the long distance thing. We are both in our 20’s and while marriage is a possibility in a couple of years, it has not really been discussed to any extent. I was thinking of buying her a piece of jewelry for Christmas but was thinking it may be a little awkward to show up with a ring box that doesn’t contain a engagement ring. What are your thoughts?

My girlfriend is very picky about jewelry so I want her to be able to pick out her own engagement ring.

So what do I put in the box when I am down on one knee?
Can I put a really cheap ring in the box just so I have a ring at the time?
She "knows its coming" only since it is inevitable. But she does not know when or where. I want it to be a surprise.
I am not going to "take here ring shopping" since this is a dead give away that I will be asking soon.
I cannot buy it for her and then let her exchange it because she is too nice and would not exchange it even if she really wanted too.
