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.

I'm talking about the Sterling Silver "tag" style pendants (necklaces and bracelets) from Tiffany and not the more expensive pieces. It's comparable to Pandora, Swarovski and/or Jewish Store stuff. Looking to give it to two babysitters who have done a great job for me lately (one is 14 and one is 12). Any other ideas would be fine too.

Tiffany?? How basic. Personally I think the diamond necklace in simpson's window will look much better on a preteen.

I give Simpson’s necklaces to my DDs when they start kindergarten. Doesn’t everyone?

You might be better off giving them an Amazon voucher so they can purchase what they want. Not all girls like Jewelry. Someone gave my DD a Swarovski product two years ago that she has never worn.

That's very sweet of you. Would these girls be familiar with Tiffany ? I received a beautiful gold ring with two colored stones, from someone I used to babysit at and I have it 25 years later and still wear it sometimes.

Honestly it isn't comparable to Pandora or Swarovski. Pandora is sold at Walmart. I just saw one for under $35 and for under $10, you can get Swarovski charms at Joanne's Fabric.

Tiffany charms are around $200.

FTR, florescent is their current theme. You can't go wrong with the blue enamel color splash like this one:

Depending on the circumstances it's not an outrageous gift. As others have posted, there are moderately priced silver jewelry items. They have silver key chains which were my go-to present for nicer gifts for awhile because people thought they were much more money. Someone gifted me with the Elsa Peretti pen years and years ago which I still have - which reminds me I need to find it and get an ink refill :-).

Have you considered the keys? They come in a variety of styles and range in price. By keys I mean the key pendants.

IME, the jewelry is pretty classic - the heart - by tag do you mean the Return to Tiffany necklace. It's the kind of thing a girl will have for the rest of her life and then can pass on to her daughter.

Why would you all dissuade OP from getting a nice gift for her babysitters? They obviously work hard and would appreciate a gift. Someone else’s generosity shouldn’t bother anyone.

I would get a classic piece for them, such as a key or heart tag, but give the gift receipt as well. I wouldn’t engrave in case they want to exchange.

I got that Tiffany heart necklace (the one that was brought to the masses when Legally Blonde was current) 13 years ago and it was $250 then! I agree, not at all comprable to Pandora which is way less.

OP, a gift card to Amazon is a good idea. Why would a young girl appreciate such an expensive gift? I would be afraid of her losing it!

I dont think OP is necessarily talking about expensive tiffany brand pieces, but that style and look that is very much in style for teens. I also recently purchased two necklaces, both silver for my 16 year oldbabysitters. I went to a local store (it's all a gift in brooklyn) and told her the age and price range (~50 each) and she was able to show me what ppl are asking for.

By Tiffany's I am assuming the OP meant authentic Tiffany silver jewelry which is a classic gift. And knockoffs are not the same thing. A gift of Tiffanys in the distinctive blue box is a "forever" gift - a "Tiffany" style knockoff is just a piece of fashion jewelry.

If you want to get a piece of fashion jewelry, I wouldn't buy a knockoff. Depending on one's budget, there are better gifts because fashion jewelry is meant to be disposable.

FWIW, I was given the hollow heart as a teenager and I gave it to my daughter who wears it. It's in the same category as the heart locket my Bubbe gave me when I was a little girl which I still have and will give to my first granddaughter.

Yes, I was gifted a heart similar to the Return to Tiffany, which I still have today. I'll look at the key pendants. Thank you! And yes, I'm looking for a forever gift to express my appreciation.

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.

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?

is it like those UGG boots when they first came in style they were supremely ugly, yet the longer they've been around the more people got used to them and now are considered cute? Even I think they can look cute when worn with the right outfit. Is it one of those things? an acquired taste?

sorry dont mean to offend. I really dont. If I am clueless I plainly admit it.
