Own Tiffany Jewellery

Lift the lid of the little blue box and let the object, rather than the packaging, earn its place in your life. Tiffany jewellery can mark an engagement or major birthday, but it can also be a deliberately chosen silver pendant or ring bought after saving for something you intend to wear often. Tiffany & Co. began in New York in 1837 and set an American sterling-silver standard in 1851. Its designs now range from simple silver pieces to high jewellery, so the famous name does not describe one price or style. Current UK silver collections include entry pieces in the hundreds of pounds as well as designs costing several thousand. Choose the item before choosing the occasion. Set a budget, try on different sizes, compare materials and buy through Tiffany or a reputable authenticated reseller. Keep the receipt and care information, and remember that resale value is not guaranteed. Add this to your list if one particular design means enough to justify the price, not merely because the box photographs well.
