DBTY .03 Neclace Reveal

[amesbegonia]

I thought I'd mention for anyone who is wavering about this piece... I had really debated if I liked the 16" chain. For one, all my T&Co necklaces are 16" right now. I'm literally trying to not buy another 16" necklace... or at least buy a 19" so I can swap out to vary up the size.

But one thing that annoys me about the 16" is that it just hits the neck opening on a lot of shirts I wear.... I am pretty casual so I'm not in button down shirts or a lot of blouses. Maybe it would show all the time if I wore more business casual or dress wear...

Im at SAHM in cotton t-shirts and cotton long sleeved shirts from Nordstrom or GAP for example. So the diamond literally hides right below the neckline a lot of times.... or at least when I look in the mirror, it's there. Maybe as I turn my neck or look up/down/around it changes position all the time and people can see it.... I am not sure. But, I want it to show all the time!

Anyway, nothing to do about it but I almost asked while I was T&Co about adding .5 in to each side to make it even 17"... Just so it'd sit on my shirts instead of tucking under all the time. But, in the end, I find myself trying to pick shirts out that show off the necklace instead of hide it....

It feels short on my neck too. But as I look at my own pics, I realize it doesn't look short.

Just my two cents!

Getting ready to workout w/ my DBTY!

Yes, I do catch it sparkling. Standing in front of the mirror, moving a little, it twinkles and winks but it is very small. Like a little glint of light at my throat. I can also see the bezel reflecting light!

Of course, the larger you can go up in diamond the more sparkle you'd get.

Your dbty Looks beautiful!!

Thanks so much for the great info! I'm going to try it on in store soon along with the .05 and .07 and then make a decision!

I will also consider the .05 in platinum. I will look at all and let you know my thoughts. I'm hoping hubby will get me the one of my choice for Mother's Day!

Hello,

Where did you get the used one? I'm wary of the authentication..

I think it is risky to buy used. Its really a gamble. I rarely hv done it myself. But like this one, if u gamble and buy used, take it to T&Co to hv it cleaned and looked over. If its fake, they wont clean it.

I haven't yet! I just went to Paris and bought a bunch of LV stuff so I'm waiting on this. I do really like it though!! I will buy this year for sure.

Well, she is small but boy, buying a Tiffany diamond offsets the size...super white & sparkly looking!

I got a great deal on it used as the clasp was broken & chain tarnished. My local T&Co sent it off to NYC for free to get fixed and shined up! She looks like new!!

I actually was a little sheepish about bringing it in, worried they'd sort of shun me for buying it used but they treated me as if I had bought it from their store that day. They also offered to clean all the jewelery I had on (Tiffany earrings and stacked bracelets) for free. I had wondered if they really were cleaning for free now and my store absolutely did.

I will say, I did buy a little something while I was there so it did work out nicely for them as well. Hehe Reveal on that soon...

Also, when I went back to pick up my necklace after it had been fixed, I wore completely different T&Co jewelry and she offered to clean those too. She also checked my gemstones on my CBTY bracelet and my Sparkler necklace. I should have been having it checked yearly over the years and never did... So the whole experience made me want to continue to go back and take care of my jewelry better (I do use their cleaner at home but getting it steamed is even better).

Such a fun everyday piece! I love that I can wear it w/ anything...

Thanks for the idea. I saw someone on my city's Craigslist posting gold 0.05 for $500 and for us in Canada that's a great bargain. But I'm planning to buy silver one this August when my friend goes to Portland for 400CAD.. So I'm bit torn if I should go for gold or silver now. I can ask the seller to go with me to the store to get it "cleaned". But I can't decide which metal I like better.. I know which value is higher, but I still like Tiffany's shiny silver..
