I finally got my wish recently :-) Thanks for your article which confirmed our decision that a Tiffany ring was the way to go despite the hefty price. Considering the service we got and the lifetime warranty, we think it was worth it. Thanks again MM! I have long wanted a Tiffany engagement ring.

Cartier on 5th Avenue was going to take 3 months to fix a simple broken lock on my bracelet. I didn't even bother to ask how much it was going to cost. I finally took my bracelet to Rustan's Makati where it was then sent to Cartier Hongkong. It still took two months to fix. (At least I wasn't charged anything. The lock problem was due to product defect.) DUH! This really made me wonder what one is paying through the nose for. I own several non-branded bracelets and never had this type of quality defect with those. Btw, after a few months of use, the new lock on my Cartier bracelet was broken again... So much for luxury brands... It’s amazing that Tiffany fixed your ring in just 2 days. Cartier on 5th Avenue was going to take 3 months to fix a simple broken lock on my bracelet.

So I had it in my closet for almost 2 years till my teenage daughter asked me if I really have an LV bag and I said yes, and she jumped into my junk in the closet. Shrieking, she informed me that she will be using it for school - well, I still didn't know then what the big hoopla was. F.Y.I. lst year, I ended up selling that bag in Ebay getting a pretty good sum of money considering its almost a 5 years old bag.

New York is just my fave city of all time. And I never miss going inside that Tiffany store every time I'm there. Not that I purchase anything when I'm there. hmmmmm. maybe the retailers here should come up with some ads telling tourists about buying fakes and what can happen upon reaching their shores.
