Catered towards the T&Co fans, this blog post shows the rough price difference between locations throughout the world.
Based on my research, here are how the prices diff:
(Cheapest) US > Asia (Hong Kong) > Asia (Taiwan) > Canada (Expensive)
These are rough comparisons from gathering different prices on similar spec diamond rings and factoring in exchange rates, taxes, etc. With Canada having a high sales tax, it easily claimed the last spot and the most expensive place to purchase a Tiffany ring. Surprisingly, major cities (Hong Kong and Taipei (Taiwan)) in Asia were not much cheaper. The good thing is, there isn't any sales tax in Hong Kong, so that brings the price down a little. (Bringing the ring back to your native country is a different story... FYI, Canada is really tight on customs and taxation on good imported). With T&Co being an American company and brand, it's almost a no-brainer that it would be the cheapest in the US. They are on average, about 5-8% cheaper than the rest of the locations I have compared with. Finding a state with a low sales tax is a bonus =P
