Your dbty is beautiful! You wear it so well
Thank you girls! I think mine is 0.17!
The dbty necklace has been on my wishlist for a while and today I finally took some time out for myself and went into the boutique.
Dbty is just beautiful even with the small stone sizes. I was tossing between a 0.24 and 0.34 yg and had a difficult picking between the two. The price difference between the two was $1000 which was still within my budget. I actually surprised myself as I picked the smaller stone!
Has anyone of you beautiful ladies actually settled on the smaller stone when you were presented with the options and budget wasn’t an issue? The 0.34 was stunning but on my small frame ( I’m 5”4) it was almost a statement piece while the 0.24 was dainty -is that the look how dbty is supposed to be rather than a statement piece with a large diamond?
I’m in my early 40s and I’m hoping this to be a piece I’ll wear for a long time and don’t want to experience “shrinkage syndrome” when I get to my 50s+.
I hope I made the right choice! Anyone with similar experience please chime in!
That was my exact dilemma! Deciding between a 0.28 and and 0.34 myself. For me, it came down exactly to how you worded it - the 0.28 i thought was a better layering piece and looked a tad small on its own. The 0.34 was more of a statement stand alone piece. I ended up choosing the 0.34 because i don’t like to wear my necklaces layered and i wanted it to be significant enough on my chest. I’m 5’5 for reference. Shrinkage syndrome is real. You’re already spending so much, so if there’s any doubt that you would want a bigger size, get it now. It’s much cheaper to spend the extra 1k than to buy a brand new necklace down the line! Also, if you’re deciding on color, the gold makes the Dbty stand out even more! Attaching my side by side of the two necklaces i chose between.

After getting the 0.24ct, I went back to the store to try some larger stones, the 0.4 and 0.51 ct. I’m still on the fence about the larger ones. The whole reason I wanted to have a dbty is to have a delicate tiny bit of sparkle on an almost invisible chain, why do I keep I thinking of the larger stones 
which might not look as delicate? I will take time to consider, as the price of the 0.51 is almost triple of the 0.24 ct. Here is a photo if anyone is interested in the size comparison.

I have a .41 or .44 can't remember exactly and I love the size a lot. I personally think it looks delicate and fine on my neck. Sounds like you're not 100% on the .24? All of the above look great.After getting the 0.24ct, I went back to the store to try some larger stones, the 0.4 and 0.51 ct. I’m still on the fence about the larger ones.

Yours must look beautiful! I love the .24 but yes I’m still considering whether to get one with a larger stone..

I think your 0.24 ct looks great on you! Thanks for the size comparisons.
the .24 looks beautiful on you. But if you like a slightly larger stone, your sales person can find a .37/.38. It'll be a few hundreds cheaper than going up past .40 as there is a price jump. I think there is one at tiffany.com around $3100ish at .37.After getting the 0.24ct, I went back to the store to try some larger stones, the 0.4 and 0.51 ct.

Thank you so much @kpai !
I will look into this option, thank you so much! The price jump for going over .40 makes sense and I assume there is another sigincant jump when going over .50? The size difference between a .37/38 to a .40 would not be noticeable so that’s a great option. Thank you!

You are welcome! Yes, the .50 would be another jump in price. In my opinion, I think spending over $5000 on a tiny diamond is not worth it. There are other really nice pieces at Tiffany at the $5000 mark and looks more substantial. That's just my opinion. Good luck deciding!Thank you so much @kpai !

I’ve had this piece for about a month now and I still smile every time I catch a glimpse of it in the mirror. Absolutely in love with it, and I never take it off!
LOVE YOUR CARTIER LOVE, IT FITS YOU SO NICELY. WHAT SIZE IS IT? A 17?
