Not surprised, but good for you for honouring your sister’s gift. I have a short Tiffany’s engraving story.

As a young couple my fiancée and I and now wife (still…. penance, I mean bonus) walked into Tiffany’s to pick out our wedding rings and engravings on the inside of the rings. Granted we were younger, probably looked 20 and were wearing jeans and T-shirts. Security looked us up and down and we received no service for what seemed like an hour. Finally, I sought out assistance and a very friendly sales person helped us and to his credit he was amiable and helpful. The experience left a really bad taste though. I subsequently wrote a letter and to their credit the engravings were free as an apology. I think this was a period of snooty service and attitude at the Yorkville, Toronto location, because since then I have found no pretension whatsoever. Perhaps there were many like me who wrote letters and management changed the culture. Glass half full: I learned the power of a politely worded factual letter that day.
Best wishes,

Seems like just buying form the mall. I love the treatment that I get from Cartier.

Never had a good experience there. Would rather support a small business as in a reputable local jewelry co. Same approach as watches for me
Love Tiffany Hampton Silverware

Commercialized watches and cufflinks are nice, yet imho you really need to get / use TIF's Hampton silverware daily. The balance, weight, and usability are excellent! You'll never go back to flatware once you use proper silverware on the daily ...
