I was looking at their wares last night, and all of their jewelery is 50% off or more right now. It seemed okay, but I dont' really know what I'm looking at. Macy's is an excellent example where the store marks up some item an insane percentage so they can have it on "sale" for 50-75% off. Last time I was there I saw loops of sterling silver for like 80 bucks regular price (on SALE! for 20!) for what I imagine is like 1-2 dollars of metal. I've never not seen Macy's jewelery on sale. If it's not on sale it's because they just lowered their "base" price, like I said, many places don't really have sales, they just play with the numbers to make it seem like you are getting a deal. Now one place I have heard of being decent that's a chain is Costco. Not that you are going to get amazing diamonds there, but you'll be getting the things the mall stores buy (they've even been compared with tiffany quality, which of course isn't saying much) without their markup. Ah found the article : http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Moms/story?id=1197202 tldr, you can find something that would cost 16k at tiff for 6 k at costco (assuming similar quality).
