Hi, here's a modeling pic of my rose gold 0.17 DBTY. I think it looks bigger than it actually is in photos. My mom still doesn't understand why I bought it since she calls it a small diamond. Hts

VERY pretty! I love, love, love the RG DBTY necklaces.
Can you tell me... Does the 0.17ct flip very often? I've heard that the bigger stones don't flip as much, but I haven't experienced anything bigger than the 0.12ct yellow gold, and the 0.17 rose gold is a bigger stone AND has the wider bezel, so... I thought I'd ask!

Mine doesn't flip over, but it flips up to one side, maybe about an inch and a half off center, so I will have to re-adjust it during the day. I did try on a 0.07 RG necklace which had three diamonds, and found that one of them flipped over just when trying them on in the store.

Does anyone know the best way to a new Tiffany DBTY? I just bought a YG .05 necklace that can't be returned because I had it altered to 15" at the time of purchase. I think I would have happier with the .03 RG. It's not a big deal -- after all, I don't see it while wearing it. I guess I'm just wondering how to sell a Tiffany piece.
Unfortunately, the only way I've found is eBay.
You don't get anywhere near what Tiffany jewelry is worth at pawn shops or selling to other jewelers. Selling on Craigslist and in the newspaper is risky, and I've read several times about people being robbed/killed when meeting with potential "buyers" from those forums.
eBay has been the best way for me to rid myself of old Tiffany pieces and get funds for new ones. I sold my YG DBTY and my Elsa Peretti 'kiss' disc on eBay for reasonable sums, not too much below retail. I used those funds (plus some savings and gift money) to buy my new DBTY earrings and my RG bean!
If you do try Craigslist, just be sure to meet in a public place for your safety...a bank or a jewelry store, something like that. I've sold lots of things on CL with no issues, but I'm very cautious and won't meet someone just anywhere.

Hi PeacefulMommy, here's another modeling pic for you worn with my new medium bow necklace. I love RG as well and wanted to get the RG bow necklace but it only comes in the mini size, which looks a little kiddish on me and I couldn't layer it with DBTY.

So lovely! Thank you so much for that! The more photos you list, the more I start telling myself that I NEED the 0.17ct instead of the smaller 0.07ct. :giggles:
I tried on the 0.07ct in store, and it's perfect for every day (if I shorten the chain) and very simple... But now I'm thinking that I should try on all 3 sizes in store to see which I love. (The store I visited only had the middle size in stock while I was there.)

I actually wish Tiffany would come out with a bigger carat size for the RG DBTY. I shortened mine by 0.5 inch so that I could wear it everyday and layered with most necklaces, but what I would really like is to layer it with another DBTY. If you have the budget the 0.12 size actually looks nice layered with the 0.17! But since I shortened the chain, I have to layer it with other necklaces.
Whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll be lovely!
The 0.12ct size?
I was under the impression that the RG DBTY only came as .03 / .07 / .17 ?
Or did you mean another metal?
Ahhh, ok.
I did own the 0.12ct in YG and the cutlet on the back bothered me, so I sold it. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to WG and silver (most white metals, with the exception of platinum, as far as I'm aware). That's OK with me, because my skin is quite pink and white metals look harsh against my skin tone.
I was going to purchase a smaller DBTY to avoid the cutlet poking/scratching, but am enthusiastic about the idea of the RG 0.17ct cutlet not sticking out the back, because then it won't poke/scratch and I can still have a larger DBTY.
And I'd planned to layer a RG DBTY with the RG bean I already have.
