So I just picked up a sapphire/platinum color by the yard. The blue is pretty not real dark etc. Debating if I should consider exchanging for diamond by the yard to get that sparkle.
Thoughts? sapphire is .18 and a .17 diamond is basically same price. Or my store also has .12 diamond as well.

I would go for the diamond if its the same price
I love mine in .17! sparkles like crazy - and I have the one in RG (thicker bezel)
Thanks so much for your input. The only other thing is I do have a diamond solitaire pendant that’s .82 carats. It’s not bezel set so it’s different and not as delicate obviously. That’s why I was thinking the sapphire. Again the sapphire is a gorgeous blue but there’s something about that little sparkleI would go for the diamond if its the same price

I like the sapphire better on you. It has more presence
Thank you. The sapphire is beautiful but something about the sparkle of a diamond....they are really the same size it appears they are the same in person.
I understand- I have a few DBTY pieces in diamonds and the diamonds do have beautiful sparkle. However the sapphire has such a beautiful pop of color. It is a tough choice
Yes tough. (I should be so lucky that is is my tough choice
) I am either going back to store today or tomorrow (we got snow so may wait) SA gave me 3 more diamond options.
Tried on (pictured above): .18 ct FVS2
19 EVVS1 $2050
.29 IVS1 $2280
.25 FVS1 $2420
Looking at prices/size etc the .29 intrigues me with size / price compared to others. I assume between .18/.19 compared to .29 would be a little noticeable???
SA mentioned to get really high quality color/clarity not necessary with pendant as you cannot see that closely. I have diamond stud earrings that are I color, IF/VVS1 clarity and they sure sparkle.
Very pretty. My vote is for the diamond since it can go with more outfits. The blue sapphire is pretty. I have a larger solitaire diamond necklace that I wear for more dressier occassions (.75). I also have the tiffany dbtys (.21 plat, .26 yg, and .47 rg) in smaller sizes for everyday wear. I would try on the various dbty necklaces and take pictures of each size to see what you like. I personally would go for the .29 if you like it in person. Most of my jewelry is white gold or plat, but in this style necklace I like the rg best with the thinner bezel option or yg already has the thin bezel. I bought the plat and it can look darker on my skin whereas the rg and yg give it more of the floaty appearance I was looking for in this style. Good luck keep us posted!Yes tough.

Thanks so much for your input! I too have the .82 ct prong set solitaire I posted earlier.
I love white gold/platinum so I would definitely stick with.
What are your thoughts on the color/clarity? What are yours?
I have all different colors and clarities for my dbty necklaces:
-.21 platinum is E VVS1
-.26 yellow gold is G VS2
-.47 rose gold is H VVS1
I would have been happy with “I” color VS2 but that is what they had in inventory at the time for the size I was looking for (just under .50). You can have them search for other specs in their inventory and they can ship them from another store and you can see in person. I cannot see much of a difference in my stone colors personally. For me, I had the associate line up the necklaces of various specs and not tell me which was which. I kept picking the “H” color .47 stone over a “G” color .44 stone. If you are not color sensitive I would go with the “I” stone for the size….my larger solitaire (non-Tiffany is an I color and I like it just as much). When you try them on in the store one might be speak to you more. For me I picked the one that sparkled to me the most…hope that helps!!! Here is a picture of all 3 dbty necklaces below in outdoor lighting from left to right: .21 plat, .26 yellow gold, and .47 rose gold (I bought them in that order and kept going bigger - diamond shrinkage is real). The .29 is a good size for layering and stand alone wear. The size is right below .30 where they will increase the price threshold. My phone might be reflecting in the diamond, but tried to capture it as best as I could…Ignore my dry hands …lol sorry.

Did you try both on in the store? If so why did you pick the sapphire?
Maybe you should go back and compare the two stones to make sure you make the right decision.
Tiffany staff are wonderful, they should be able to help you make the best decision for you, it’s their job & they seem to want Lifetime clients.
Have fun on you trip back!
Sapphire was backorder so not able to see. Thinking of this .29
