Yours is so beautiful! I keep second guessing my decision on a yg one because this one is to die for on you!
I've been stalking this thread for a while and think DBTY will be the next Tiffany collection item I want to buy, but that will have to be a few months time at the very least, since I caved yesterday and bought two items a few months ahead of schedule
(justification: in case of Jan 2013 price rise and lack of stock, as is currently the case on the website).Was browsing on the UK Tiffany website and from the sounds of it, they only sell based on carat size? Or is that just the website? I would have asked at the counter yesterday except it was scarily busy.
If Tiffany only sells based on size, what are the diamond specs? (ie. I1-I3 grade?).

It should say when you pull up the different carat options what the other specs respective of that particular stone are, at least that's what it does for the .20's and up on the US website.
It will change it in the description (about 3/4ths of the way down) and say: ".... H color, VS1 clarity..." but the rest of the description will remain unchanged.
I am getting a non-branded one for Xmas this year that's a .25tcw in 14k YG 18" chain. However, the color of Tiffany's gold is just so spectacular makes me want one from there... maybe a platinum DBTY someday that's different enough to justify if it's in a 16", right?
Does anyone have a modeling shot of the 0.03ct DBTY necklace? Just trying to gauge the size as a gift for someone...

You're sweet...it's so classic, most women would love to be gifted a DBTY!

Thank you! That photo is actually very helpful!
I wanted to get my younger sister something from Tiffany & Co. for Christmas, but I bought her a Return to Tiffany double mini heart tag necklace for a previous occasion ...and she admitted to me last week that she stopped wearing it because it got "rusty". She didn't want to say anything & hurt my feelings!
She's only 19 and apparently didn't realize that you need to polish sterling silver jewelry once in a while! I explained to her that because she lives at the beach and plays sports while wearing the necklace, her jewelry wasn't "rusty" -- it's tarnishing!!! And the problem is easily remedied.So... I already bought her a silver polishing cloth the last time I was at Tiffany... but thought I might add something like the smallest DBTY in silver... since nothing else catches my eye for her this year...
Thanks again!
I have my fingers crossed for a blue box under my tree this year, and I'd love a little DBTY myself, so I'm sure she'd like that. Especially if she's a sporty, low-key type.
This year I'm also loving the pearl mini heart tag bracelet...maybe I'll gift it to myself next time I manage to do something 'good'... heheheh! Maybe that might also be good to match her (soon-to-be-newly-shiny-again) necklace, and to give her some pearls, if you think the diamond in the 0.03 DBTY is too small for her?

Is anything from Tiffany on your wishlist this year?

PeacefulMommy-- I think the CBTY may be a better option... The turquoise one is particularly pretty and turquoise is a stone that symbolizes protection and good fortune in many cultures. It's more substantial that the diamond one (and cheaper too maybe? I can't remember). Let us know what you choose!

Such a pretty bracelet!
Unfortunately, I know for a fact that she won't know how to care for pearls, and pearls are rather delicate when compared to other jewelry. If she couldn't polish a simple silver necklace, I shudder to think what those pearls would look like in a year's time!!
She is very sporty and low-key (just like her older sister, sadly...) so it's jeans/tee shirts/Converse for her. She plays soccer and runs/jogs and is the typical girl-next-door. She doesn't care for things properly and 90% of her wardrobe consists of MY old clothing "borrowed" whenever she drops by for a visit and rummages through my closet... Typical! :giggles:
I know that pearls are timeless and classic and perfect for a young lady... but maybe I'll wait until she can take care of them. Maybe college graduation in 3 years?! Hopefully by then she will have "grown up" a little?
... As far as my own wish list, I just got the rose gold Tiffany bean necklace earlier this month, and I placed my order for my DBTY rose gold earrings earlier today, so... I'm banned until further notice as far as buying goodies for myself!
My parents, step-parents, and former in-laws all chipped in to help with the earrings, so they're my "official" Christmas gift. The bean was just something special for myself because I decided that I loved it (and my DBTY earrings were out of stock at the time).If I had the funds, I would end up with a DBTY in rose gold for myself... and possibly the rose gold small oval key... but the key is out of stock and the funds are there for neither. Maybe soon, if I save my pennies again!
I do hope that you find a little blue box under your Christmas tree, though!

Thank you for that! I will certainly look into the CBTY, too. Her favorite color is pink, so maybe I can find a pink stone instead of the diamond for a similar price?
I don't think the turquoise is quite her style... But it is a lovely thought and I enjoy turquoise!
Lapis is also lovely.I'll spend some more time browsing. I still have a few days to get it by Christmas!
