Hello everyone! I'm having the hardest time choosing which metal to get for my first DBTY necklace..! :hrmm: I think SS is too shiny so it takes away from the diamond. I never wear YG/RG jewelry so I definitely felt awkward in those.. I actually liked platinum best, but it's out of my budget since if i were to choose platinum I'd want to get a larger diamond to compensate for the small bezel. Any suggestions? :confused1:

I think white metals look much better on you, I think you should save more money for platinum. Since it is not cheap, it is hard to go change it to a more expensive one. I know because I got 0.14 carat rose gold one and then I thought it was a little small and I wanted to have 0.17 one originally but it was too late. I thought it was out of my budget and I was just too impatient to wait a little bit more. And the first year I hated my dbty necklace. I learned to love it but since then I am craving another necklace (saving for it now). It is better to get what you would love at first, not the one that is okay. [emoji18]

A question for those of you who have more acquaintance with Tiffany's DBTY line than I do: how much variance do you think there is among the diamonds used for the uncertified sizes of the DBTY solitaire necklace? I ask because I've got a .17 RG on hold in the UK. I love the look of the larger bezel (plus the culet pokes me in the thinner ones), but I'm hesitant to buy over here when I know that if I wait a couple weeks I can get the same CTW for significantly less cash when I'm next back in the United States. However, the same CTW doesn't necessarily mean the same diamond, so I'm wondering if I'm likely to see significant variance in spread or in color from necklace to necklace in the .17 size. If so, I might be better off snapping up the one I know I like the looks of and eating the extra couple hundred dollars. Grateful for any input!

If you're flying out of LHR then you'll save a bit buying there too, that's where I get all my Tiffany.

I think silver/platinum complements your skin best. I would get the silver because eventually it will oxidize/ tarnish and it won't look too shiny anymore. I have my 0.03 dbty silver for a few years and i prefer the colour better now after they have turned 'grey'. HTH

NB: depending if you wear it everyday and never take it off, the faster it will tarnish. plus you can always polish the silver if you want it to look brand new. :smile:

I also have a 0.32 and the poking bothered me terribly. As I’ve gotten older my skin has gotten more sensitive, to the point that small scratches sometimes look like hives! I was ready to sell this necklace but went to my usual sales associate to see what I could do and she told me they could add the basket. I don’t regret the decision at all! Not only has it completely changed the comfort of the necklace, but the basket adds a little bit of weight that helps keep the diamond centered. I would do it all over again if I could.
