i'm just so psyched about my new necklace! Please let me share my story!
i had been obsessing with the Tiffany 18K yellow gold DBTY necklace for a while, but not liking too much about the 16" short length. I prefer my necklaces to be less choker-like, and always wished that the DBTY necklace came in the 18" version.
my uncle owns a jewelry company and they told me it's no problem for them to create one for me! so i ...
- got the plain 18" 18K yellow gold elsa peretti chain from Tiffany = US$200
- picked out the diamond of my choice on the James Allen website (0.35ct, F, VVS1, H&A, AGS certified, HCA score 0.6!) = US$700 with pricescope discount
- handed the gold chain, diamond, and my mom's original tiffany DBTY necklace to my uncle's jewelry company! (they set it for me for US$150)
outcome:
18" DBTY necklace with the exact tiffany setting, original tiffany gold chain, with a perfect, colorless, H&A diamond!
total came out to be just about $1050 ! i went to tiffany before getting this made, checked on the price of a 0.33ct, G color, VVS clarity, 16" chain, and the price, gasp, was $2580 !
I'm just so thrilled that I was able to do this! my DF ended up paying for this as an xmas present to me ! i have been wearing this every day since!
here it is!
