Ever since I read that Costco was selling fine gems, including the
stunner of a yellow diamond shown here, I wondered if the
diamonds were of the same quality as diamonds sold in jewelry stores. ABC News must have been curious too since they
took on the researcher. They visited both ends of the spectrum first picking up a diamond ring at Tiffany’s and then
one at Costco. The results? The Tiffany diamond cost more than it was appraised for but was deemed to be worth it for
the “Tiffany experience” and the service and peace of mind factor. The Costco diamond was appraised at more than they
paid for it and the jeweler indicated that he was impressed by the quality of the stone. So basically it comes down to
perceived value, how much is the little blue box from Tiffany and the smiling, attentive salesperson worth to
you?
