Yours looks bigger somehow, are you sure it measures at 5mm? Maybe it's 5.5mm? It won't be a huge difference but it should definitely be noticeable! Congratulations btw, it looks great!

The size of your frame plays a big part in the illusion of size... on some women the .07 looks huge.. however on those like myself who are 5,6 and 170 pounds it’s tiny ... a .37 on me looks the same as .07 on a tiny slim person. Most photos on here only show shoulder and neck shots .. so it’s difficult to tell
Thanks! I tried measuring the diamond and it was close to 4mm in size! The website you posted was helpful. I may exchange it for the .1 so I could buy this .3 bezel from Costco for a fraction of the price. It would be great to layer!
Love your piece by the way!
Hi! I just wanted to add that I have a 0.17 and had such “diamond shrinkage” after I got my necklace. I had also tried on a 0.08 in store, and was convinced I had received a smaller size than the 0.17 I ordered. After a few months of wearing and enjoying my necklace (but also with a hint of something like regret or suspicion about it’s correct size), the size somehow reset in my mind and I can clearly see that it’s larger than I initially perceived and I’m very happy with it. Maybe like the previous poster mentioned, I’d been studying pictures of other people’s dbty on here, and the necklace on my own body just looked much different than I expected? Can’t explain it. But thought I would add my experience.
You measured the diamond only? Mine is 5mm from bezel to bezel, NOT diamond only! As you can see, the 0.10 already measures 5.25~mm, so I really think yours ought to measure at least 5.5mm?
Also are you sure you're using a cm/mm ruler and not inches? The little bars on an inch ruler would be spaced out further apart than mm, so that 5.5mm "looks" like just under "5 mm" (if reading it as an mm ruler).
Personally I think once the excitement wears off you might regret exchanging the 0.17 for a smaller one and getting the costco. Just think it through, exchange on the last possible day if you must. 0.17 is a great size especially in RG!!
I borrowed a picture of a .10 in sterling silver posted by coivcte in this thread, and put it next to my .07 in rg:
I think the bezels should be the same on SS and RG, so as you can see the .07 is 5mm across while the .10 is like 5.5mm. If anyone has a .10 (or any other size) in RG and would like to take a picture on top of a ruler, I could put it together for reference!
Few more angles because the bezel is just perfect and I love it. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for your help Mewt! I just tried the with the ruler and it was measuring to 5.5mm. I think I was measuring it wrong the last time. You're absolutely right, I'm glad I didn't end up returning and getting one from Costco. After all, besides the brand we are paying for quality and warranty.
What does everyone think about a 5 stone DBTY, each diamond being 0.05ct for an everyday necklace? I already own SS 0.05 single stone DBTY but like the idea of a bit more sparkle. Would a 5 stone be ok or too dressy??
Edited to add: the fact that the 5 stone e would be SS does not bother me, in fact I'd prefer it as I want a white metal & not keen on platinum for this

Etsy seller is JSVConcept. Her prices have increased though. I would wait for her 15% discount.
I wear a 5 Stone DBTY everyday, it can be both casual and dressy - depends on what I'm wearing. It's subtle and classy, which I'm a big fan of.
The diamond looks very nice with this one and the chain is very sparkly as well. I'm really happy with it and highly recommend this vendor for this piece.
I think the 5 stone DBTY is beautiful! It was originally first on my Tiffany wish list. I love the way the diamonds are spread out. However, in my opinion the silver does not hold up well, as it tarnishes very quickly.
