A mixed-bag

by ryo89harvard11 at Citysearch

This is the headquarter of Tiffany, so you can expect it to be large, and have a lot of people. The associate team is a mixed-bag. There are really polite and helpful associates, as well as the rude ones. Be aware that the associates do discriminate the clients, so if you are wearing rags with supermarket bags, the associates would probably not even greet you. If you are wearing a mink jacket, holding and Hermes handbag, the associates would be all over you.

The executive manager, Michael, is a really nice person though. You can always count on him, and is very responsible.

The usual

by KCB311 at Citysearch

Usually go here for the ladyfriend to buy her some jewels, but find that the staff is a little too pretentious. Order online if you don't have to see the item in person.

• Pros: Nice jewels
• Cons: Overpriced, snobby service

Home to the blue boxes that represent classic style and impeccable taste.

From its legendary blue boxes to its ever-popular six-prong diamond solitaire engagement ring, Tiffany's is a staple in the jewelry industry. Although diamonds, emeralds and sapphires represent 70 percent of total sales, tableware, gifts and accessories are popular items as well. Pleasant and accommodating, the sales staff serves customers with respect, whether they're buying a $40 glass vase or a $40,000 diamond bracelet.

a big surprise

by lex142 at Citysearch

Honestly, in this day and age, I didn't expect a lot of attention when I ventured into Tiffany's. They are so revered, so famous, that I expected a very polite and bland reception. I found the Tiffany people to be friendly, educated, and really interested in helping me. I may have to save up, but I'll be back.

• Pros: quality merchandise and staff
• Cons: it was a little bit crowded on a Saturday

THE OLD GRAY MARE...

by spgayle at Citysearch

This old gray mare ain't what she used to be. The former sparkling silver throughbred is now just gray. Once this was the place to go for fine goods and even finer treatment. Now, expect long waits as the sales people chat with one another and ignore you. The customer service area resembles a hospital waiting room with nicer appointments. Plan to spend the day waiting. It is really sad what has happened here. The service has declined. OK, the world is different. But if they need to change, they need to drop the pretention. If you want nice silver, go to a handcraft store. If you want diamonds, go to the jewelry center. You can buy a torquise box anywhere these days.

Rocks and Clocks

by BryanMiller_Citysearch at Citysearch

There really is a Tiffany diamond, right there on the first floor. While this legendary store can be a touristy nightmare on weekends, it is much more manageable. Aside from gems and watches there is a second floor selling clocks, scarves, leather accessories and silver jewelry.

The service staff is very attentive and not pushy. Since most of the wares are out of my fiscal league I can't compare their prices to other stores -- but the box looks so great when you open it!
