Just wanted to do an update for anyone interested in getting a basket for their diamond. It is a game changer!! I wasn’t wearing my dbty very often because the diamond was so pokey. I can’t even feel the diamond anymore with the basket. It’s so comfortable! A bonus too is the tiny bit of weight keeps the diamond from flipping onto its backside. My necklace still travels off Center, but it’s not as bad as before i got the basket. I’ve noticed no decrease in sparkle and the diamond still lies flat against my chest. Attaching some pictures of how my basket was done. View attachment 4226499View attachment 4226500

I agree with you on the basket! I just had the basket added after experiencing uncomfortable poking and it's great, just as sparkly as ever. I am in love!
 
I remember someone mentioned in earlier posts, that 0.14 poked so she got a 0.12 and after that she was doing fine. But if you want a larger one, I am pretty sure they would add a basket to solve the poking problem no matter what size it is.

Unfortunately I asked Tiffany if they could add a basket for me & they said no (I'm in the uk). Essentially I'd like the biggest diamond I can get without the poke!
 
I just bought the .17 yellow gold thinking it's somewhat different from my .17 rose gold since the bezel is thinner. If I have to choose I prefer the thinner bezel cos the diamond sparkles more and I don't really feel the poke. I am very sensitive to clothes that are uncomfortable so I guess those who can feel the poke must be ultra sensitive.

Maybe you can think about the Rose gold ones? They have thicker bezel until 0.17 ct or 0.19 ct. the ones with the thicker bezel don’t poke.

I love RG & have a RG DBTY bracelet which I stack with my small Love. I'm slowly trying to build my jewellery collection & what I've realised is that RG looks amazing on my arms/hands but too coppery around my neck (differing skin tones I guess). I have gorgeous YG & Onyx VCA sweet studs & I'm looking for a dainty YG necklace to wear with it

I had terrible customer service the last time I went to Tiffany & the SA wouldn't let me try on smaller DBTY sizes to see if the poke bothered me. They just said they would be too small & dismissed me. Maybe I need to go to a different store
 
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! :wtf::wtf:

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! :wave:
On here reading all these comments after purchasing my DBTY yesterday. Same happened to me except I was in between a .35 G VVS1 and a .43 F VS2. The larger stone was only $500 more. But I ended up choosing the smaller stone - it was the first one I tried on and I felt it was perfect! While the larger stone was visibly a tiny bit larger, I didn’t feel the same way about it. I loved that it was a better color, but there was no noticeable difference between the two as far as color goes. I chose the smaller one of the two because of how I felt overall when wearing it.
 
EC25BBF0-C9E0-4511-AE80-60F761E03E4F.jpeg Can someone please help shed some light on this for me... this whole thread has been both helpful and confusing to me. My .35 DBTY looks incredibly similar in size to the .17s on here - but yet it’s double the ct weight. Anyone else notice this with their own? By any chance does someone have both a .17 or close AND a .35 or close that they can place together for me for comparison? I didn’t look at anything smaller than a .25 but the .35 was recognizably larger than the .25... hope I’m making sense. Thank you!
This is my .35, pictured with my .40 stud.
 
Wish I could help! I don’t have the necklaces for a comparison picture, but I thought I’d weigh in. I find it very difficult to understand the sizing on these necklaces and I’ve struggled with the sizing on my own 0.17. I’ve noticed the bezels vary a fair bit in size (mine is ultra thin) and make a huge difference in how large the necklaces appear, and they’re also very difficult to photograph. You must’ve received a certificate at your carat weight? Hope someone can provide the picture you’ve asked for! I’m also curious to see.

Hi, so am wondering, what are people's thoughts of wearing a bigger DBTY solitaire with another smaller one at a different length?

I do it all the time.

Thank you Julezah. I just purchased my necklace a few days ago, and was told I would receive my certificate in the mail in a couple weeks. Thanks for your input; you're right in regards to the bezel. I've also noticed the "ears" on either side of the bezel look different on each person's necklace. Mine are barely noticeable.
