Who Out There Has A Registry At Tiffanys?

Who Out There Has A Registry At Tiffanys?

Despite the fact that I’ve bought him a PS3, xbox 360, and a wii, I was surprisingly excited to see that he unpacked my Super Nintendo and played Super Metroid last night, hailed by some as the best game of all time.

So that left me with some time to blog, and I’ve still got registry on my mind. When I think registry, all I really think about is the kitchen and perhaps 1000 count sheets and duvet covers that I would never justify buying for myself. I’ve read in more than one place that you can register at Tiffany’s, and this blows my mind. Though the Elsa Peretti Open Heart pendant is, I admit, clean and simple, I am so far removed from that kind of jewelry and that type of shop (save for my classic solitaire, to my humble suprise, à la Tiffany’s).

So if I could register for something as frivolous as jewelry, this would be what I would want. It’s all handmade.

Painstakingly handcut and handsoldered sterling pendants from smallthingsdesigns.com

Faryn Davis is local to Seattle, and runs Fernworks Fine Art, incorporating organic materials into resin jewelry and paintings. The online photographs of her work don’t do it justice. I own two of her pieces so far.

Resin and sterling silver encase perfectly preserved insects (it would surprise you to know that I am terrified of everything from spiders to butterflies) at bijoux du monde. Mikel Lefler is a local artist from Vancouver, BC.

Are any of you having an “alternative” registry?

Tiffany’s has china, silver, crystal…I don’t think people register for jewelry when they register at Tiffany’s. HAHA. I wish!!

I was going to say the same thing - I would LOVE to register for the diamond bracelets, but when people register at T&Co. is usually for crystle decanters, fine china, and actual silverware (as opposed to the stainless steel “silverware” I registered for).

one of my family friends registered solely at Tiffany’s, and it wasn’t a success, in my opinion. I think, by the time of the wedding, less than 5 items had been purchased, and some of these items were random forks, spoons and plates… what was she going to do with those, you know? I think it would have gone better if she had had a registry for regular things at Macy’s or something, and just a few select decorative items at Tiffany’s…vases and such.

yeah, echoing the other comments, my friends who have registered at Tiffany did so for the silver, crystal, household stuff rather than jewelry. with that said, though, i was pretty happy to have gotten some gifts from Tiffany (bowls, silver, candlesticks, etc.), some of which i promptly returned in order to buy Mr. Daisy some awesome cufflinks.

love the blue box…

I agree. I wish you could register for jewelry! I am actually registered at Tiffany for all my china, crystal, and silver. The prices are actually not very unreasonable compared to fine China or crystal you would buy at Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, etc.

I have actually received a few items already and am pretty happy with them. We’ll have to see how successful the rest of the registry is.

I have a registry at Tiffanys.

I don’t expect my friends and distant relatives to buy items off that registry (in fact I registered for only 7-8 things). I would like for my close family, like my brothers, to buy our gifts from there. Dishes from Crate and Barrel will eventually be replaced, and the vaccuum from Target will eventually be useless, but a gorgeous vase or engraved platter from Tiffanys will last forever.
