Is the Tiffany Diamond by the Yard necklace worth getting?

How much is the 1CT from Blue Nile?

1ct is not the same is .1 ct which is what I suggested. The period in the front is very important.

Further there isn't a set price, you select a stone. And it appears they don't go lower than about a .25 stone (1/4 ct)

But you could have it in gold for like $700. With a MUCH bigger stone.

Interesting. Thanks for asking this question. I was wondering the same thing. I had this
http://www.tiffany.ca/Shopping/Item...7465-r+501323338+501288191-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+

and then exchanged it for the 0.07 size DBTY. It looked nice in the store but when I brought it home, under natural light it is very underwhelming. I'm still searching for my perfect everyday piece.


The toggle necklace is nice but I don't think it's everyday. I think the Bean or the Open Heart necklace both by Elsa Peretti is more everyday to me. I have them both and love them dearly. I also have the Elsa Peretti "L" pendant with diamonds in sterling silver. The L is my darling son's initial and darling hubby got it for me when he was born. You could consider getting a letter pendant that has your initial or someone significant in your life.


I do like the DBTY necklace. I don't have it but I also think it might be too small. Can't remember if the platinum DBTY comes with bigger stones. If you do the math, a little tiny diamond on a silver necklace really isn't worth it.
 
Diamond by the Yard in silver isn't worth getting, imo. The setting isn't as delicate as the same design in gold or platinum. I have a T&Co. DBY necklace in yellow gold with .25ct diamond and this is about the minimum size I would consider. I initially received .1ct DBY in plat. It was so small i could not see the sparkle on my neck.

I think in small sizes T&Co. and other online jewelry stores with comparable quality are similar in price. The price gap increases as the diamond size gets bigger.
I saw many people buy from brian gavin diamonds, for example.
Maybe this could help you compare prices, along with other stores.

Total thread hijack, sorry. I returned the DBTY and got this
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...+-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+Bead+bracelet&search=1
And this
http://www.tiffany.ca/Shopping/Item...323338+501432133+501288196-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+

But I'm 35 and while I like the necklace I'm worried it might be too young. I was thinking of getting this to go with my blue enamel key
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...01323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+Twist+key&search=1

They had them paired in the display case and it was pretty cute.

Those are great pieces you got. I always had my eye on the Tiffanys beaded charm bracelet. Is it a good piece that you recommend?
 
Do not. I just got this on overstock. It is 1/4 ct for over $600. 16 inch chain and beautiful.
