I was thinking of selling one of my old DBtY necklaces and was looking around *Bay to see prices.

One of the auctions stated that her DBtY necklace was an older style and a better quality diamond... and that Tiffany no longer sells the same quality of diamond as hers.

I have three styles of the DBtY necklaces and I'm trying to figure out if my diamonds are the older, better quality. Do you know when Tiffany made this change... and more importantly, did they really lower the quality of their diamonds in the Peretti designs?

I think that person may have been misinformed. Tiffany did lower the quality of their melee diamonds but larger stones like the ones in the DBTY are still higher quality. DBTY are pretty much the same quality stones across the board depending on the size and price that you paid. If you want to know what the quality of the stones are in your particular piece it might say it on the receipt, if not call the store and ask them to look up the transaction and based on that they can tell you what the color, clarity, and carat weight are.

I don't really want to know the color, clarity, and carat weight, necessarily. It's not like we had a choice when we bought them... did we? The only decision I made was the size of the diamonds. I was under the impression that the color and clarity was always uniform throughout all the necklaces.

Anyway, I was just wondering if the quality was lower now... but I believe you that it is not. I've started wearing all three necklaces (small single diamond, the one with 5 small diamonds and the longer style with the thicker chain and different size dismonds) together but they get so tangled and won't stay separated. :D

Thank you for your reply - much appreciated!

Well you can't choose whatever color, clarity, and carat weight you want but they do have DBTY of varying quality depending on the price point. So hers may be better than yours but she may have paid more for it. So yours would be the same as any others that were purchased for the same price (prices do change with time but you know what I mean.)

I lost one of my 1837 circle silver earrings a little over a year ago. Is it possible to get a replacement for one? I tried looking on the website and the only seem to carry the gold version which bums me out and makes me think that it may possible be discontinued. Any thought on this?

Not sure which one you're talking about but just because it's not on the website doesn't mean it's discontinued. You can order a replacement from customer service for half the price you paid.

Tyler,
I had a quick question for you. FH and I looking to buy the Tiffany Legacy Engagement ring (w/o graduated stones) and I was wondering what is the biggest carat size you can get for that particular ring. We are currently looking at a 2.5. Also do you know about the price range for that style and carat size.

Hi Tyler,
Last year I've purchased an atlas wg ring with 3 diamonds and the receipt did not indicate the description of the stones or did I receive any jewelery appraisal/ certificate(does it only comes with E-ring purchase only?
Thank you for you time!

Hey Tyler,
I'm considering buying the "small" Elsa Peretti open heart necklace. Approximately how big is the heart? How big is the "medium" heart? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know the exact measurements but customer service would have this info. The small is about the size of a nickle and looks good on small to petite ladies IMO. The medium A size is about the size of a quarter and is my personal favorite size.

I'm pretty sure it's available in that size although there will be few to choose from in that size range. I would say that the lowest color and clarity in that size would be 25k at the very least if there are even any stones in I color and VS2 clarity. You're probably looking at more like 50k.

Yeah it comes with E-rings over a certain price or you may request one on other jewelry as long as it's over 10k.

Hey Tyler, Is it too much to ask for a platinum w/diamonds wedding band I just bought to be perfectly polished? The band "face" is ok, but the sides of the band (or I guess you could call them top and bottom?) have some fine scratches and about three very, very shallow dings - they are quite hard to see. Is this something that usually occurs on Tiffany's platinum jewelry (before sale, of couse)?

Will the dings polish out? I'm debating whether I should wear it a bit before sending it out to NY for polish since I know polishing removes some of the metal. So if the dings will polish out, I'll just wait a bit.

Thank you so much, and, yes, I know I'm very "particular." lol
