I definitely think it is worth getting - am waiting for the .08 in yellow gold on an 18" chain from Tiffany's and can't wait! The stone is very small but delicate and I just love the look for everyday. I hope to get a larger stone (.25 upwards) in a platinum setting from Blue Nile in the near future too.

here's my .07c DBTY. I got it for Christmas from my parents. They said when they saw the smaller ones, they wouldnt even have considered buying them since they are soo tiny.

It looks lovely on you - the one I am waiting for is .08 so looking at yours makes me even more excited to receive mine since they are about the same size!

I agree with missliberia. I do like Tiffany but think that I can get higher graded product for the same price. Given the simple design (not Tiffany signature), I would shop else where. JMO.

I like my tiffany one, the bezel is perfect. the diamond is great quality. I love the colour of the 18k YG.

I have had custom jewellery stores tell me that they would charge very similar pricing to custom make a dbty with that quality bezel. it's not an easy way to set stones and takes a lot of effort and skill to perfectly bezel set a stone.

so I did pay a premium for the tiffany name but I know it's great quality so yes I think it's worth it!

and for such a tiny delicate piece of jewellery I sure get a lot of compliments when I wear it :D

Thanks :) When will you get yours?

just saw that there are bigger versions in YG. In SS the biggest one is .07 :( Wanted to go back and exchange mine for a bigger one, but no :cry:

Got it this morning! :D :yahoo: I absolutely love it - the stone imo is just the right size for everyday, not too much bling but a lovely sparkle, and although the chain is more fragile than I thought it would be that actually works well as it makes the diamond stand out more.

That's a shame they wouldn't let you swap yours but it really does look gorgeous as it is. I don't think there is much point anyway in going for the sizes immediately above .07 as they won't make a lot of visual difference but there is a lot of difference in price. Better to wait/save for a bigger stone perhaps in .25 or more? That's what I am thinking of doing and going for a platinum setting next time just to have something different, even though I normally wear yellow gold.

I totally agree having seen mine now. I've seen some lovely diamonds in this style from other names but the bezel setting doesn't always look perfect, as you would expect when you pay these kind of prices. It depends obviously on the make as I'm sure there are some great versions out there which are better value for money than Tiffany but I'm really happy with the quality of mine. The yellow gold also looks stunning also against the sparkle of the diamond - I just love it! :D

you are right, .07 is perfect for every day :)

just to defend Tiffanys a little bit: it's not that they wouldnt let me exchange, it's just that there is no bigger size with Sterling Silver :)
