This fabulous pair of estate diamond (F color VS1) and blue sapphire earrings set in platinum are from Tiffany & Co. circa 1990. It's humorous to me that 1990 is considered "Estate" as I was a sophomore in college during that time. I still feel like the same co-ed who delighted in new discoveries of the world so how can 18 years have passed? But even in college, I appreciated the finer things in life, thanks to my Shanghainese grandmother who is still glamorous at 95 years old. From an early age, she taught me quality things will last beyond my lifetime. From jewelry to clothes and handbags, I learned to appreciate the very best. And you are actually being frugal by buying one amazing item then a dozen trendy things each season. So if you are looking for an investment that will also glitter beautifully on you, the diamond and sapphire earrings from Tiffany's are perfect for you. At $5,695, it is priced substantially lower than its retail price (roughly $15,000). So you see, I have saved you money and found you a treasure to cherish for generations. Now how can you beat that?

Unless "estate" nowadays simply means "from the collection of someone who is now dead." If we go by that, "estate" could be defined as "yesterday." Hmmm. ????

I know right? I was surprised to read that it was classified as Estate myself... it really should be classified as "Used". lol
But the earrings are gorgeous nonetheless...

Your post completely applies to me from being in college in 1990 to the philosophy of quality over quantity! Estate jewelry is defined as a previously owned jewelry item. Love the sapphire & diamond earrings- timeless design.
