Which Tiffany pendants are in style for preteens these days? It used to be the heart and then the round tag, but there are so many options now. Also, do girls engrave them? TIA.

A common one which happens to be my personal favorite is the mini double heart tag necklace. It looks really classy and can be worn with everything, dressed up or down.

The heart is always a classic.

I haven’t seen much engraving around but have seen it on occasion. (My sister who is s preteen says u can go either way )

And to all the naysayers, let’s keep the threads positive. OP was asking which style to get, not to be mocked by people in different circles where this may not be the right gift choice.

Different circles do different things. All preteens I know would be thrilled to receive this and it would not be considered inappropriately lavish.

If you are going to buy the older pieces, you can get great discounts buying them used. The newer ones are not discounted.

I opened a Tiffany blue box today with the ribbon on it. The piece is currently selling for $450. DH got it for $150. He also bought me a Tiffany ring today. It was less than half the amount Tiffany is selling it for.

Why do ppl here so insist on being cheap? And an Amazon gift card would not be appreciated — they get cash to pay for their work, and I’m sure save it or use it for specific things (ie camp canteen) and quite weird to get for a preteen, especially if they are more Yeshivish and may not even have online access.

My sister had tween girls that babysat for her often, they were so sweet and accomedating and really loved her children. We bought them wrapped beautiful gifts (they were israeli and we knew they would love Kipling bags- I think they were 80/120 range).

Op I think this gift will be appreciated and cherished. If u can afford it and want to go the extra mile. Kudos to u. Definitely spring for something in a box from a returnable store, even if cheaper than something u can get elsewhere so that they can exchange.

Because it makes no sense to pay three times the price for the same item. I don't find that cheap. I find it not being stupid. There is no difference in the stuff I was given used today than those same items sold in the store, and the bow on the box was properly tied.

I suggested if buying new to get the latest items because those aren't discounted.

Be careful when buying Tiffany jewelry from any place other than Tiffanys or an authorized representative.

The silver jewelry is WIDELY replicated by Chinese counterfeiters and is difficult to tell from the authentic. I had friends who used to buy it from sources in China and it was almost impossible to tell from the authentic unless you held it side by side.

To buy a $450 necklace for $150, I would take the risk. I have been buying Tiffany as gifts for more than 4 decades, and never had anyone not delighted.

I have this necklace that I was actually looking to sell locally, its the same necklace but the heart is plain (does not have words on it) other than "Tiffany & Co" in small print on the back. They dont make it like this anymore, you have to buy the chain and charm separately. So its this charm https://www.tiffany.com/jewelr.....88216
on this style https://www.tiffany.com/jewelr.....=310.

I bought it at the store in Beverly Hills a number of years ago and I have no receipt. If you are interested, pm me.

I’d risk if guaranteed it was authentic because it would still hold value . But to be stuck with a fake , not worth it

Tiffanys has a whole page for gifts under $250. Obviously one is paying for the Tiffanys name but assuming the gift is in the budget, there is no one I know who isn't thrilled to open up the blue box.

Obviously for the baby who has everything but how charming is this silver feeding spoon - certainly it would be something that would be passed down through the generations.

I must be old, or maybe I have crawled out from under a rock. I have never heard of Tiffany tag necklaces, and I must say to my untrained eye they are plain old ugly!
A tag necklace that says return to Tiffany's? Whats the elegance?

I know I am missing something here. Can someone please explain? .

I think they are ugly and tacky and overpriced.

I remember when growups used to wear tiny spoons on necklaces as status symbols, well symbols of something ...

I don’t think it’s ugly, I just don’t understand the significance of the phrase or why someone would want to wear those words. I like the rectangular tag with the splash of blue on the bottom, but the words are so off putting.

Someone got this for me as a baby present. (And no, my baby didn't have everything. Smile

) I had no idea what to do with it when plastic baby spoons worked just as well without my having to worry about throwing them in the garbage by mistake.

If my DC wants the spoon for their own children, they are more than welcome to it, but I can't really see this as a gift that is worth passing through the generations. As of now, it's sitting in its blue box and tarnishing.

Not that I needed a gift, but for that price, you can get a whole lot of stretchies...
