Skphoto- Thanks for the offer. I would be very interested. I bought my necklace online and it didnt come with a certificate. What I do know is that it is VS1 - G color.

I know Miss D just received one as a gift and there was no certificate.

Maybe I should call customer service. To me - my .27 looks about the same size as Miss D's.

I tried to take some pics this morning but they came out awful blurry. Cheap camera! I will try again later to see if I can get anything better. Thanks!

Yup, I had to call customer service to request one and they said they didn't have them for mine as well - it's either ONLINE orders of ELSA PERRETTI DBTY don't come with Tiffany certs or ELSA PERRETTI DBTY doesn't come with a Tiffany's certificate in general (my DH spoke to her and he's hopeless with details etc). She told my DH the diamond's stats over the phone.

skphotoimgaes: I keep hearing that everyone' elsa peretti DBTY diamonds "sparkle like crazy" - how is your diamond? Does it sparkle a lot? I wonder how the certified GIA stones from BN compare with the uncertified Tiffany ones. . .

If my .19 was cut to look larger then I'm all for it! :)

However, I must add that even though it's not large, the sparkle on the little guy matches no other that I've seen. I hate to admit it but I think it's got MORE life than my 1ct e-ring.

Miss D - I was thinking the same thing! Makes me wish I had a Tiffany e-ring to match!:yes:

Oh yeah..mine SPARKLES!!! I think I mentioned somewhere that it is the prettiest diamond I own. I haven't had a chance to see a Tiffany's one out of Tiffany's lighting, but I am sure they are AMAZING. It's like I told someone else. If you don't want to have to pick your diamond, go with Tiffany's...you're not going to get a bad diamond. But if you have the time, know how, or this board to help you pick a perfect diamond..they can be had at BN..

I do know someone who just bought a 0.23 certified (and inscribed) Tiffany's DBTY. Interesting.

skphotoimgaes I am really impressed with how much you know about diamonds! I just got a DBTY from bluenile...When I picked my diamond I just looked at the 4 c's mainly because I didnt know any better lol. I think I am happy with my necklace but I dont know if I could do better for the price. If you dont mind would you look at my specs?

Carat Weight: 0.24
Color: E
Claity VS1
Cut: Very Good
The florescence is medium blue

The report also says 58.4% which i am guessing by the picture is the depth by 61% which I am guessing is the flat surface on top.

Im sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I figured since its a blue nile it might be appropriate to ask here instead of starting a new thread.

Thanks in advance

Oh how did I miss this!

Skphotoimages, I am so sorry to hear about your bgd necklace. Your BN DBTY Looks gorgeous on you and you are so pretty!

The only explanation I can think of is that the Tiffinys Diamond has a very shallow cut and with a big table. Then the diamond will definitely face up bigger. However the only way to find out is to have a Tiffiny owner to measure the diameter of the .12ct. As far as I know, 0.16ct BGD signature diamond should measure 3.35mm and when bezeled 4.35mm.

Kellymcd, the diamond you picked is too shallow at 58.4%. You want the depth to be at 60%-62%(max) and the table at 55%-57% but most important are the crown and pavillion angles, you got to get them right for sparkle!
 
#57
Yes the BGD one was 3.5mm

kellymcd could you give me the report number (GIA or AGS) I can go look it up. If 61 is in fact the table and 58.4 is the depth, then yes it is a shallower stone. If the measurements are actually the opposite, then it could be a very nice proportioned stone. We really need to know the crown and paviliion angles as well though.
What matters most though is if you are happy with it! Given I bet you paid A LOT for the E color and VS1 clarity, I am hoping those measurements are actually the other way around though.

Woohoo, I'm so happy to hear this. I am DEFINITELY consulting you (if you have the time ;) ) or this forum when it comes time to buy my BN DBTY style necklace!! Maybe I'll get one for my birthday in a few months :graucho:

I think the numbers I gave are correct...meaning its shallow. The GIA Report number is 2115950760

I really appreciate all of your help everyone!

Maybe I should go up in size a little and down in color or clarity.

This stone was $381...and thats about my budget.
