Oooh.. which store was this?
The one here, on Wall st. in Manhattan charges something like $75 per inch for RG. That's how much my hubs paid to get one extended for me.

Doesn't make sense, it's the same area. I need to find the receipt. Unless they're just arbitrarily coming up with a price, but that would be very strange.
$100 is insane. I did that twice but right after I had purchased my pendants. I was informed that they could add up to 3 inches for free. I guess it depends from store to store. One of my pendants was a fixed pendant. They added a jump ring and an inch from 16 to 17. They did a great job by adding half an inch on each side of the chain so that the pendant stays even.
I found the receipt. It's showing 175 plus tax.
This was for a 16" RG chain that I had extended to 20". So my hubs must of been high when he said $75 an inch. It came out to $43.75 per inch for Rose gold.

I'm based in Hong Kong and dropped my necklace off at Tiffany's to get a jump ring inserted a few days ago, was charged HKD750 which is about USD100! Mine was platinum by the way
I was told it's free to shorten the necklace within 6 months of purchasing it, any lengthening or adding jump rings would need to pay extra

I have always been told they charge to lengthen chains. I was able to get my pink double hearts lengthened to 18 in from 16 at no charge as I made a valid point that the blue is offered in both lengths at no additional charge so pink should be also. However, when I called to place phone order and asked, they said no. I had to go into store to get it done. The other chains I have wanted done were silver and I was told it would be $50 to go from 16 to 18 on silver.
Here is mine. RG .07 ct. Length 16 i think. With spot (in the evening) without spot with daylight and 
backside to show the lock. In pics it looks so big, but it is a cute little diamond.

I noticed many resellers don't actually list the carat weight of the diamond. How do you tell how big the diamond is?
I am looking for one that is around .33 ct. Can someone with a similar size DBTY necklace do me a favor and measure the pendant and diamond size for me?
Is there any place that authenticate Tiffany jewelry? TIA!

It's terribly frustrating as unless the seller has a receipt to prove it, you just don't know. I try to have them photograph the stone on a dime to get a gauge of things and because I've had several sizes I feel more confident that way. Sadly, I've had friends buy ".25's" on eBay that ended up being only .08 when they arrived. They returned them as SNAD (Significantly Not As Described), after verifying the size being wrong at Tiffany. It's a gamble but sometimes you get lucky and get a bigger one that you thought you'd get. Even if you find one with a receipt, get to Tiffany's to verify everything is ok.
I don't have a .33 to photograph for you. Maybe someone else here does. HTH!
