Thank you, that is gorgeous and doesn’t look small!

Do you feel it poking you on its backside?

Also, does the chain feel strong/durable? I hear that the Tiffany chain is more delicate than Cartier’s.

I don’t feel it poking at all. I wear it 24/7 and very rarely take it off. I think the chain is strong. I’ve been wearing it for years and not had an issue.

I just ordered a beautiful new DBTY-style necklace on Etsy! I got it in YG to match my bracelet that I have. It's a 0.12ct diamond, G Color VS-SI Clarity - for around 1/10th of the price of the Tiffany equivalent! I paid £160 :panic: can't wait for it to arrive! I was debating between WG and YG for a few days, but decided on YG as I thought it would make the diamond pop. View attachment 5302947

Can I ask who the seller is?

I'm looking to purchase a DBTY-style bracelet or something very similar—I've been considering pieces like the Cartier D’Amour, Roberto Coin, or Gilded by G. St. At first, I was torn between getting a one stone or three stone design, and also between metals (sterling silver, white gold, or platinum). I think I’ve settled on the three stone look, which narrows things down mostly to the DBTY-style bracelets. I feel like three stones can be really versatile easy to dress up or down, but I’d love to hear from anyone who owns one (or both) for real life impressions.

I'm still undecided on the metal, so I’m especially interested in feedback from those who’ve owned these types of bracelets, what did you choose and how has it held up over time? Any regrets or unexpected pros/cons?

I’ve read through some of the past helpful posts in this thread, but since it hasn’t been active for a little bit, I wanted to check in to see if anyone had any updated advice or thoughts especially if there are newer brands or options I might’ve missed.

It’s not a white metal but I have the Tiffany Peretti 3-stone DBTY in rose gold. Tcw .30. It’s very sparkly and comfortable (no poking because of the thicker bezel on the RG models). It’s easy to wear and I sometimes leave it on for days. The stones do flip but they also flip back and with 3 of them there’s always at least one facing up and sparkling! ✨😃

Thanks for the insight! I saw in person the DBTY in both sterling silver and platinum, and I'm leaning toward silver. I prefer the brighter look. I know tarnish is a concern, but airtight storage should help. I'm just unsure how easy it’ll be to clean, since it's a small, delicate piece.

Now I'm torn between 3 or 5 stones. I have a small wrist and will likely need the bracelet shortened. Would 5 stones be too much?

I think 5 stones would be lovely and definitely not too much! These are delicate bracelets (in size not toughness) so you can’t go wrong with more stones :)
