The diamonds are appraised and measured by all the normal standards. <br /><br />A Tiffany setting is 6 pronged setting - the usual standard is 4 prongs. No one going to Costco actually thinks they're literally getting a diamond ring from Tiffany's. There are no blue boxes being sold or anything like that. The only question that I have is if Tiffany's trademarked the 6 prong setting, but I highly doubt it. Sounds like they're just being jerks and looking for some press.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764196773056647698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-80013631471711415672013-02-15T14:01:24.130-08:002013-02-15T14:01:24.130-08:00We bought our wedding sets at Costco... after doin...We bought our wedding sets at Costco... after doing a lot of research (retail, outlet mall, estate, custom jeweler, etc.), no other company came close in offering the quality of diamond & setting that we got from there. It was also a "tiffany-style" ring. We paid close to $10k (not cheap) and the ring is valued at closer to $20K. We did it online and it arrived via courier two days later. I would rate the whole experience as very, very good. Oh! And because we used our Costco American Express card, we got an insane bonus back the following year. Win=Win. Costco has a policy of only adding 11% I think to any item it sells, they make their money in volume. I have a lot of respect for them as a company.SugarMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549345419112606496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-17773869521985957722013-02-15T13:59:25.792-08:002013-02-15T13:59:25.792-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.SugarMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549345419112606496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-81225623865509496922013-02-15T12:58:30.005-08:002013-02-15T12:58:30.005-08:00I went to Costco on Monday to buy nothing but vege...I went to Costco on Monday to buy nothing but vegetables for a no meat week. It cost me 125 bucks. But I have/had enough to give some to my mom for her cooking. And I brought a bunch to work for co-workers. Insane amount of veggies, probably about 25 to 30 lbs.<br /><br />The Costco in Concord, Ca said "Tiffany Setting" on the sign. My friend is proposing to his girlfriend sometime soon, so I walked by and remember seeing the sign and checking out a few rings for him.<br /><br />Love Costco. Because that unholy, terrible, Monsanto of the brewing world - AB InBev trying to buy Grupo Modelo, Costco has stoppped carrying Bud, Bud Light, Stella and Modelo citing the fact that AB Inbev was trying to shake them down. Had a hug sign over their beer display. Gotta love a company that's willing to do that. trogdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448923325883015294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-10083337701533358482013-02-15T12:46:49.929-08:002013-02-15T12:46:49.929-08:00because why would tiffany want to draw attention t...because why would tiffany want to draw attention to the fact that the same thing could be had for half price??? findmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899903498811526434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-63676510695348853952013-02-15T12:43:41.111-08:002013-02-15T12:43:41.111-08:00Every one of my kisses start with Jack Daniel'...Every one of my kisses start with Jack Daniel's, actually. ;-)AKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250302358099968270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-64471352830660241362013-02-15T12:34:58.836-08:002013-02-15T12:34:58.836-08:00@LadyWawa, don't tell that to Jennifer.

The internet is full of "Tiffany-style" jewelry, all with slightly different designs than the originals so they don't get called on it.<br /><br />The tip-offs to Costco consumers would have been no Tiffany mark on the inside of the rings, and no turquoise Tiffany boxes. <br /><br />And while I've never bought diamonds from Costco, I have bought several pieces of simple gold jewelry for myself and as gifts, and none of it has turned anyone's fingers or ears green.

Obviously you've never been there! If you want to know how the economy is doing, go to Costco on the weekend! CRAZY busy!<br />In all seriousness, I highly doubt Costco is trying to 'rip off' the Tiffany name. They are very well known to be highly ethical, etc. The contrast between Sam's Club and Costco is incredibly huge. Sam's Club is a poor man's Costco. And Costco is NOT cheap. Some of the items may be cheaper, but seriously, can you EVER leave there with spending less than $100?! Silly Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497892642422020274noreply@blogger.com
