I really hope you can help me... & quickly! Tomorrow I am giving my jeweller a round 0.15ct diamond to turn into a DBTY style necklace. However, I am undecided as to what colour metal suits me better - RG, YG or WG. I have included a photo of my SS T&Co DBTY to show a white metal on me. If it's clear that white metals are better on me, I would rethink getting the diamond set in a dbty pendant since I already have (& love) my 0.05ct silver one.

Thanks so much for your help x

This info may be inaccurate, but your comment caught my attention. Does your DBTY have the thinner bezel? I'm asking because I have a smaller 0.10 DBTY in RG. I believe the larger RG DBTY have a thin bezel like platinum and gold. When I compared my RG DBTY to the larger ones, I noticed they were more copper in color compared to mine. It could have been random, but there could be something to it. Even the SA noticed but had no explanation.

Yes, you're right... mine does have a thinner bezel, same as the platinum and gold. Hmmm. Yours is soooo beautiful on you, and looks bigger than 0.10.
Thanks everyone for the comments and advice. After more time to get used to it, I have to add that it's really sparkly and never flips. ;)

Thank you! I love it! I feel like I can never have enough DBTY, so I also have one in yellow gold. I'm actually considering getting another one in platinum too. Lol. Your necklace is really beautiful, and I hope that you enjoy it!!! The sparkle of these gems is truly spectacular!

I came home with a .29 rose gold a few days ago. I'm pale and freckly and liked how the RG chain disappeared more against my skin so the diamond was floating. I had intended to get a .17 platinum, or a three stone, but they had very few options in store and I couldn't even try these on. (Tip: don't go two days after Valentines.) The platinum I did try was somehow very blingy on me and was more about the chain than the diamond. So, I love it my RG in inside lighting, but it's maybe a bit coppery looking outside. It's my first RG piece so I don't know.... I might exchange for platinum, or start saving for RG studs.

I just went through the same thing! I had a rose gold dbty for a long time. I liked it because of the thicker bezel, and I loved the way it looked INSIDE. But when I was outside and I'd catch a glimpse in a mirror I felt like the rose gold looked too orangey/copper against my skin (I think on others it looks beautiful) and it started to drive me nuts! I recently sold the rose gold DBTY on eBay and purchased a .31 ct. yellow gold from Tiffany. I honestly love the yellow gold so much more against my skin and both inside and outdoors. With that being said, yours does look beautiful on you in the pics. But if you're second guessing it a lot, don't keep it! - the only thing I do miss is the thick rose gold bezel because I felt like it was more "substantial", but it didn't make up for how I felt the rose gold looked against my skin tone. And you have the one with the thinner bezel anyway, so that wouldn't really affect you. - Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

Just wanted to chime in, I thought they did extension up to two inches for free? I just bought my .17 ct platinum DBTY yesterday (thanks to much enabling from this thread), but the 16 inch was way too short (not trendy choker length but actually choking me...) and I asked for it to be extended to 18 inches. I was not charged for this, just for the necklace. This was at the Fifth Ave store.

Seems arbitrary for them to decide whether to charge someone for an extension, unless it's within a certain period of time?

I am thinking in doing the same. I don't like short chains. Is the 18 better? I should make the trip to the store and see if I can get it extended for free.

It's 0.3tcw so 0.1ct per stone! The 16" and 18" were actually the same price (strange...) and the SA suggested I pick the 18" since I can take it back to be shortened for free within half a year.
I think I will bring it back to be shortened to 16" soon.. 18" seems a bit too long and grown up for me (I'm in mid to late 20's) :flowers:​

$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.

That is insane. I guess if I decided to make a purchase I might just tell them 3 stone- extend for free or one stone in 18inch, with a cheaper price tag ....
