Tiffany’s Jewelry Review
Monday, 20 July 2009
Over the years, I’ve accumulated a lot of distinct pieces from Tiffany & Co. While many girls would jump over hoops just to be able to buy their own Tiffany bracelet, I was lucky enough to have aunts who enjoy buying me precious presents. Bud the sad fact is, I don’t like Tiffany’s jewelry.
Here’s why: it turns black! This is the only brand of jewelry that changes color after frequent contact with my skin. i don’t even need to wear it every day. I’ll wear a necklace twice or thrice in a month and then have it cleaned and polished because it would be black. It’s not really black like soot, but the silver finish just tends to look tarred. It makes me doubt the quality of the sterling that the company uses. of course, the sales representatives have assured me that the jewelry changes color not because of the metal they use but because of my skin! According to them, my acidic skin is bad for the metals, which means that I have to polish my jewelry every month or so. My mom and aunts go through the same problem. It’s not just me who has acidic skin. It’s not just me who has to remove her Tiffany bracelet when washing hands. It’s not just me who has to take a trip to the store every month to have her jewelry cleaned. Clearly, it’s the jewelry that’s flawed.
If the packaging wasn’t so distinct, I don’t think this brand would even be that popular. The Tiffany blue is an iconic color that represents class, style and prestige. The jewelry itself is quite distinct, but it’s not exactly the classiest in the world. Their designs are simple and tasteful. It’s something meant to be worn every day. Unfortunately for me and many other women out there, it is impossible to wear Tiffany jewelry every day because if we did then we’d have to clean our blackened jewelry every week!
