0.19ct E,VVS1 is $1670 while 0.22ct F,VS1 is $1630 !! One thing I know for sure is, by looking at the stone we may know the size, but are these minor differences in color and clarity visible to naked eye? Also, how much would it cost for extending the chain to 18'' ?

I'm not a jewelry expert, and I can't tell subtle differences between stones. I don't think most people can. Since the stone is set in a bezel, I doubt you'll be able to see any difference in clarity. But you would have to put them side by side for final comparison.

Yes, the RG ones look better. But, there are very few in RG, unlike in YG, after 0.17ct in RG the next one is in 0.27ct. If I forget about getting the certificate, I really liked the DBTY heart necklace.

One more tip - ask the sales associate to double-check that the one you chose comes with a diamond certificate. Not every .18 has one. The diamond certificate will take a few weeks to get to you and will be mailed.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I saw that too. I looked at 0.19ct and 0.22ct and it just added to my confusion. Depending on the color grade and clarity the price difference between them is minimal. 0.19ct E,VVS1 is $1670 while 0.22ct F,VS1 is $1630 !! One thing I know for sure is, by looking at the stone we may know the size, but are these minor differences in color and clarity visible to naked eye?

Thank you for the reply. Haha, I will be sure to get the biggest stone I can afford. Yes, there is a Tiffany near me and I am planning to visit them tomorrow. I need to sneak out during my work without my wife knowing (we both work at same place). I felt the RG with its thicker bezel looks a bit bigger than YG. I read on this forum that the bigger ones tend to poke ! Is that something that differs from person to person or is it just the design and cut?



Thank you for the reply and sharing the pictures. I looked at Cartier's and felt that they are a bit expensive than Tiffany. Also, the DBTY models look simple and elegant, may be it's the bezel.

In my opinion for YG & RG you don't need a high grade unless you're going for platinum. For those two metals you can go as low as H or I. Every diamond speaks differently so you'll know when you find the right one . You can try it on to see if there's a poking issue. The poking did bothered me with platinum more but not as much as the RG. However the Tiffany store offered a complimentary chain extension & a basket to solve the poking issue . The downside is I need to wait 1-2 weeks.

Visited T&co today. Nice staff. After looking at the models, bought this beauty. Its 0.22ct in YG.

I asked them for the certificate and they told me that it will take a week or two to arrive.

Thank you ladies for your suggestions.

I am shocked that you have to wait for a diamond certificate! Shouldn't it come with the piece at the time of purchase? Any other jeweler in the world gives you one straight away...

I would love to know what the basket looks like and how it works. Does it change the look of the necklace ?

I'm considering to get the diamonds by the yard in sterling silver with either .03 or .05 carat. I prefer smaller stones as they look more dainty. Anyone has the diamonds in the yard in these two sizes? Would love to have a look of how it looks like when worn.

You will definitely get to see people modeling the .03 and .05 in the Show Your DBTY necklace thread....it helped me out

Sorry for the hijack but those of you that have a dbty bracelet, do you wear them 24/7? Looking into purchasing one but being that it's quite a dainty piece I'm wondering if you ladies remove them just before going to sleep

I wear my DBTY silver bracelet 24/7. I dont take it off in shower (except for swimming). Absolutely no problems. But I had a tarnishing problem with the necklace even though I was not wearing in shower! so I returned for RG
