I've been stalking this thread for a while since I fell in love with the DBTY design. I initially purchased the Elsa Peretti 0.07 sterling silver as it looked bigger than 0.08 & 0.12 in platinum. I took a picture of it and didn't like it on me so I exchanged it for 0.17 platinum on 16" chain, the very next day. If you are going to choose a platinum piece, anything above 0.14 carat, the culet will poke you. I think the 0.17 is the perfect size for me but it didn't come with a diamond certificate so I upgraded my diamond to 0.18 carat to ensure a diamond valuation. I was looking for anything between 0.18 to 0.22. The 0.17 had a larger table surface and it was on par with the 0.2 but the price wasn't.

Out of curiosity, I purchased a 14k white gold 15" 0.1 carat diamond DBTY on Etsy. I have two pictures below to compare the 0.1 against my 0.18 carat platinum and they are both beautiful. The only difference is, the price for the 0.1 carat (14k white gold) was $300 CAD and the 0.18 carat (platinum) was $2500 CAD. I love them both and have no intentions of returning any of these necklaces.

Would you mind telling me the name of the Etsy seller you used? Thank you x
 
Hi may I please get some opinions to see whether you prefer the rose gold or the yellow gold on me. Thanks in advanced!! 1st pic is inside under Tiffany’s yellow lighting (RG on top, YG on bottom). 2nd pic is outdoor natural lighting (YG on top, RG on bottom)

I prefer the RG on you, it glows on your skin more on my screen. Neither are jarring though.

I love them both. I think you could go either way, but I'd probably choose YG. It stands out on you a bit more, and it seems a little brighter in both photos. Your skin tone seems close enough to neutral that you could easily wear any metal, but I really like the YG. Either way, you'll look sunning!

I think either way you can’t go wrong but if I had to chose I’d pick the YG :-)
 
Congrats on your lovely new piece! Mine's quite small, it's only 0.07ct. Thanks to the thick bezel, it measures 5mm across, similar to a 0.18ct with the thin bezel. Thick bezels are only on the SS and RG versions, and on RG below 0.18ct.

Here's a faraway shot for perspective:

But then when it catches the light, it REALLY shines! :hbeat: I'm sure yours is even more spectacular!

I hope you're able to get used to the poke and enjoy it, otherwise try the 0.17ct in RG with the thick bezel?

I've been wearing mine every day and just love it, in fact I love it so much I'm going to buy my mom the exact same one when she comes to visit!
Hi Mewt,
I just purchased DBTY RG .17ct and it’s also measuring at 5mm across/diameter. I noticed you got .07ct right? I’m wondering if I really got a .17ctHere are some pictures
