Question:<\/h2>\n

Hello, I want to buy this ring. It’s Tiffany & Co, 1.00 Carat<\/strong>, F in Color VVS2 in Clarity, Excellent Cut (56% Table 62.1% Depth). It comes with Tiffany & Co and GIA Certificate<\/strong>. It’s authentic<\/strong>. The ring is used and it’s 10 years old. The price is $9,500<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I know that if I buy from Tiffany & Co new, it would cost a lot more. Is this a good price? Should I buy it?<\/p>\n

Thank you for your help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h2>\n

Hi Nick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s not a bad price for a used Tiffany Diamond of that quality (Nice quality by the way<\/strong>). The picture you sent only shows the Diamond Ring and the Tiffany Diamond Certificate, not the actual GIA Diamond Report<\/strong>. Make sure if they say it’s GIA that it comes with an actual GIA Diamond Report and not just a report from Tiffany itself. Even though I would tend to believe anything Tiffany puts in their report, I would still want to see what GIA says. Also keep in mind that if you buy it used, you get no guarantees or service with the ring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nAlso make sure that you have a Jeweler check the ring over to make sure the prongs are still durable and intact<\/strong>. A ring that is 10 years old will probably be worn down with stressed, cracked or even have broken prongs. Make sure that the edges (the Girdle<\/a>) of the Diamond are not chipped or what they call a Bearded Girdle<\/strong> (small nicks around the outside edge). And make sure that the Diamond in the ring is the same Diamond as listed on the report<\/strong>. A Jeweler can verify this (especially if it’s Laser Inscribed<\/strong>) or take it to an certified appraiser and have them double check it.<\/p>\n

I did some checking and called Tiffany about the price of a brand new ring as of today. They no longer do GIA Certificates<\/strong> and only give their own Tiffany Certifications now. For a brand new 1.02 Diamond, VVS2 Clarity, F Color, Excellent Cut (the only Cut they sell), their price was $19,700<\/strong>. Their price seems high <\/strong>for that quality, but you are paying for their brand name. For that same price, you could get a much bigger Carat Weight of Diamond, GIA Certified as in the examples shown below.<\/p>\n

To compare their price, here are similar qualities of Diamond from James Allen<\/a>, GIA Certified, VVS2, F, with Excellent Cuts! :) Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
