Other jewelers compete for the customer&#8217;s buck with cheap fakes and frauds that resemble the real thing.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s not a surprise. It happens to all the big designer companies world wide.<strong> It&#8217;s just a fact of life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Is the Tiffany ring real?<\/h2>\n<p>\nHow are you to know if the ring you&#8217;re buying is a real Tiffany ring or a cheap knock-off? The seller says &#8220;<strong>It&#8217;s real!<\/strong>&#8221; Should you trust them? How can you tell genuine from a fake? Let&#8217;s take a look&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>The Tiffany 1837 Ring:<\/h2>\n<p>\nOne of the most famous Tiffany rings is their &#8220;<strong>Tiffany 1837 Ring<\/strong>&#8221; (see picture). This ring is instantly recognizable and very distinct. It&#8217;s clean, it&#8217;s classy, it&#8217;s simplistic, it&#8217;s a work of art. <strong>I love this ring&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nSo I didn&#8217;t hesitate when I spotted their eye-catching <strong>blue-green bags<\/strong>, boxes and sterling silver rings at <strong>a flea market in Maui<\/strong>. The first thing I thought of when I saw them was Tiffany, no doubt. Their trademarked colors, bags and boxes are well known.<\/p>\n<p><h2>But Tiffany in Hawaii?<\/h2>\n<p>\nI took a closer peek. The first ring that I saw was their famous 1837 Tiffany &#038; Co ring (<strong>listed as a &#8220;timeless tiffany favorite&#8221;.<\/strong>) At first glance, it does look like Tiffany&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>\nA lot of people were looking at them and buying them. Green bags were <strong>flying off the shelves<\/strong>. Do these people not know these are fake? Do they even care? They may be thinking to themselves &#8220;<strong>No one will ever know the difference&#8230;<\/strong>&#8221; But I assure you, they will.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Because everything was different.<\/h2>\n<p>\nIn just a couple of seconds I spotted a lot of differences between a fake 1837 rip-off and the real 1837 Tiffany ring. Here they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The font was different than the real font used.<\/li>\n<li>The font lines and edges were blotchy, blurred and not perfectly, crisp and clean.<\/li>\n<li>The spacing of the letters was different.<\/li>\n<li>The engraving was uneven and not deep enough.<\/li>\n<li>The 925 stamp was thinner and wider.<\/li>\n<li>The raised stamp section 925 was fat and blurry.<\/li>\n<li>The numbers were a different font.<\/li>\n<li>The curve and dip was more pronounced.<\/li>\n<li>It had a 925 stamp inside the ring (real doesn&#8217;t).<\/li>\n<li>There was no space between Tiffany &#038;Co<\/li>\n<li>There were no spaces between the inside lettering either (it was all one word).<\/li>\n<li>The font inside the ring was bigger and wider.<\/li>\n<li>The entire ring was at least 1mm thicker.<\/li>\n<li>The edges of the ring were flat (not slightly curved).<\/li>\n<li>The inside read &#8220;\u00a91997TiffanyAndCo.925&#8221; instead of &#8220;\u00a91997 Tiffany Co.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The bag was more of a green color vs blue-green (see image below).<\/li>\n<li>The price was insane.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fake-Tiffany-Ring.jpg\" alt=\"Fake Tiffany Ring\" title=\"Fake Tiffany Ring\" width=\"502\" height=\"324\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fake-Tiffany-Ring.jpg 502w, https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fake-Tiffany-Ring-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nSo while the real ring sells for $150 at Tiffany.com,<strong> the fake one sold for only $15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Here&#8217;s the bottom line:<\/h2>\n<p>\nThese fake knock-offs won&#8217;t fool anyone. They won&#8217;t last as long. They&#8217;ll look like junk in just a couple of months. <strong>Their shine will fade in a heartbeat<\/strong>. The rich luster and patina (surface shine) from Tiffany&#8217;s sterling silver rings and jewelry is priceless and beautiful. There is no comparison.<\/p>\n<p><h2>But how do you know for sure?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThere&#8217;s only one true way of knowing if the Tiffany jewelry you bought is &#8220;<strong>real<\/strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>fake<\/strong>&#8220;. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiffany.com\/jewelry\/rings\/tiffany-1837-ring-GRP05652?fromGrid=1&#038;search_params=p+1-n+10000-c+287466-s+5-r+-t+-ni+1-x+-lr+-hr+-ri+-mi+-pp+3400+6&#038;search=0&#038;origin=browse&#038;searchkeyword=\">Buy it from Tiffany!<\/a> They&#8217;re the only ones that sell true Tiffany jewelry.<br \/>\nAll the others are <strong>imposters, imitations, cheap, fake, fraud, and rip-offs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fake-Tiffany-Jewelry-Bags-Boxes.jpg\" alt=\"Fake Tiffany Jewelry\" title=\"Fake Tiffany Jewelry\" width=\"502\" height=\"426\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fake-Tiffany-Jewelry-Bags-Boxes.jpg 502w, https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Fake-Tiffany-Jewelry-Bags-Boxes-300x254.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nIf you want a ring that&#8217;s well built and finely crafted.
