Ladies,
I got a lovely dbty necklace(not new) from my mother-in-law without any certificate. The size is above 0.20ct.
Is it possible to know more details just by providing a serial number?
I heard that Tiffany might help only if you bought it within last 2 years or if you kept a bill.

after several years of thinking, i started looking for cheaper versions. unfortunately i found no other necklace that is made as dainty as the dbty from tiffany & co. I have a yg 18 inch with 0.8 ct. i tried rg and yg on, had to find that yg was too dark for my skin tone and the bezel was already too thick. yg flatters me more. but still find rg very nice. the clasp of the necklace is so heavy that it slides down the neck and my necklace no longer looks 18 inches. does anyone know a tip so that the necklace doesn't slip too much? on the pictures you can see the original length and what it looks like when the necklace slides backwards.46C653C1-2D45-4C42-B6DA-AA1C81383F7C.jpeg424200D7-4945-408C-B067-8F4A8CF1F176.jpeg46C653C1-2D45-4C42-B6DA-AA1C81383F7C.jpeg

If you have a good relationship with a sales associate they can look up some numbers. However, if the piece is much older they will not be able to find it that way.

The necklace looks great on you. Unfortunately it will move back due to the fact the clasp is heavier than the pendant. If you liked it shorter then you can shorten. However, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to keep it longer.

thank you very much :blush:
if i shortened the necklace and it was then closer to the neck, would the clasp pull down and the necklace feel even tighter?

What do you think about the size? One day I want to have a dbty but frist I get the solitaire. My solitaire is 0,28 i tried bigger stones. But my SA say bigger stones are too much for everday. I don't want to feel bad that I don't go bigger. Because this is a lifetime piece.

In my experience, yes, it will.

My DBTY is of a similar size to yours. I had the chain shortened earlier this year, thinking that would help prevent it slipping -- and also thinking that as more of a "loose choker" length it would be easier to layer. I can't remember if I had it shortened to 14" or 15". At any rate, I regret doing it and plan to have it restored to its original length the next time I'm in a store. It still slips, and when it does it now appears (to me) uncomfortably tight. It also makes the stone flip more frequently. :doh:

If anyone has a suggestion on how to keep it from slipping, I'd love to know about it!

thank you for sharing your experience. did you also have an 18 inch necklace? for me, the diamond always disappears towards the neck or on the side of the neck. i have read my way through this forum and many have this problem. I don't think you can do anything about it.

I believe mine was on a 16" chain, and I think I had it shortened to 15" (pretty sure it was 15 and not 14). And yes, the diamond disappears towards my neck...annoying for sure, but I usually just ignore it, lol.

Could anyone share a photo of their rose gold DBTY in 0.14 or 0.17? I'm unsure of the thicker bezel and if that makes the diamond sparkle less (compared to the thinner bezel on the yellow gold) if anyone can comment on that. I got the yellow gold one and love how the diamond floated but ended up returning because it didn't suit my skin tone, but the store in my city is still closed from lockdown, so any help would be greatly appreciated :).

I can totally relate to this! I didn’t like the thicker bezel, so ended up purchasing a .22 RG. Here are some pictures the SA sent me, as I was trying to make my decision. The first is self-explanatory, the second is a comparison of the .14 RG and the .14 platinum, and the third is the .22RG. One thing I will say: when you are looking at pictures, the bezel is pronounced. I don’t think it would be on the neck. Good luck with your decision!

thank you, this helps a lot! Do you happen to have a photo of the 0.17 as well? I've read that the bezel on the 0.17 is even thicker than on the 0.14, and the "ears" stick out more but I'm wondering how much. Ideally, I'd go for the 0.17ct size. Thanks again!
