Bread - I have seen the aquamarine it was pretty 'pale' but Dark Angel said she was able to choose a brighter aquamarine. I saw the pink but I cant remember for the life of me if it looked good.

I did see the pink sapphire bracelet at the store. The pink colour looks very pretty against the silver. I'm just worried it won't be as versatile as the diamond....

BreadnGem: I'd get a diamond for daily wear. I used to wear a pink sapphire with a YG chain everyday cause I usually wear neutral colored clothes. It didn't look good against a red blouse or something like that :p diamond all the way!

Good point! That's what i fear too, that the coloured stones won't go with everything.

+1 for a diamond! no matter what u wear starting from PJs to evening wear. i do have a tiffany DBTY as well as tiffany aquamarine and i only wear aquamarine occasionally as its chain is more delicate and i would not wear it 24x7, tiffany dbty - no issues with 24x7. both r very sparkly...just put the aquamarine on to take a photo for u :-)

Thanks for the photo! Both your necklaces are beautiful :smile1:. I especially like your dbty. A nice size :smile1:

yes a diamond naturally has more sparkle (refraction) then an aquamarine or sapphire. you'll have much more fire from a diamond :smile1:

Thanks! I think i shall go for the diamond :smile1:
 
thank u! it is platinum and .25. if it did not flip, poke and turn on me, i would luv it even more! :-) it has been extended by tiffany by an inch and made no diff. :-)

May i know how bad exactly is the poking? Is it bad enough to irritate you constantly? I tried on the .12 and .14 (both yg and platinum) and while it does poke a bit, i can barely feel it when i wear it around my neck, so i think i'll be okay with a 0.12 (i would prefer to get either a platinum or sterling silver one). It would be lovely to save for a 0.25, such a nice size, but if it's too uncomfortable then i won't bother to go bigger.

well i have a VERY sensitive skin. just touching my skin with a finger leaves a red mark for a while..so my 0.25 dbty does poke...but...i know my skin, i luv the look, its tiffany , i am a woman and i come from russia so comfort does not come to mind at all! i never had a chance to try it as i bought mine on ebay, once i had it, i luved it, and flipping and twisting irritates me a lot more than poking. poking alone would not bother me a lot. but i constantly have to check if the diamond is where its supposed to be.. it rarely is. BUT its always there, right in the middle when i wake up, it bits me to understand why. as i bought it on ebay for about half of its cost, i am very close to selling it for the same money i bought it once i replace it with another daily necklace. dont let this put u off dbty! i luv it, but it may not be the best necklace for me, or not the right size. i went once to tiffany after adding an inch to ask what else can be done to stop the flipping and twisting and i got a very young SA who kept saying no matter what it will do it so i just walked away, i was prepared to get a diff size or extend more etc. i might give it another go and go back to the main store in melbourne where the older SA suggested to add an inch. so i am not giving up on it yet. i am not sure if going 'bigger' diamond or longer chain would solve the issue for me. i've heard from the girls here RG has a diff setting, so it may work for me better thou on my top part of the body i only so far wore WG or platinum. i dont have a particular big neck, just an average small-medium build body, so i dont get why it moves from the center for me. that is the real bother, poking - a tiny one for me. :-)

Thanks for replying. I really hope you manage to find a solution to the flipping so that you can enjoy your beautiful necklace even more! I read from another thread (cannot remember which one) where some ladies said that the bigger sizes don't flip so much so perhaps a change in size would help? Altho i would think that a .25 is pretty big (to me! :D). But regarding the necklace moving up away from the center, maybe thats just what most necklaces do, since the pendant is attached to the chain? Hopefully your SA will have some solutions for u. :smile1:

My DBTY pendant does not flip or move away from the center, but mine is on the bigger size. Yet, the culet tip pokes me. I have to get used to getting poked because it is very pretty. I am pretty sure the bigger size reduces the flipping effect as I don't even notice anything about flipping.
I find out the 4-pronge setting by Tiffany is very comfortable to wear. It stays in the middle and it does not poke. 4-pronge is the most comfortable style among all the solitair pendants Tiffay carrys. For some reasons, our purseforumers seem to favor DBTY to 4-pronge.

Very true. I wld imagine that the 4 prong wld be more comfortable. Does Tiffany sell smaller diamonds in that style? Or is it just the bigger carat diamonds?

From what I remember seeing on the website, the lower carats in the four prong have a bale and aren't stationary/fixed to the chain but I do remember seeing like a .17 size at some point.

I am planning to bring my DBTY pendant back to Tiffany to change to 4-pronge. The main reason is that the diamond culet from DBTY pendant pokes me. Tiffany has a very nice 4-prong setting. It is comfortable to wear. It is really a beautiful setting.
 
Ladies,

What would be your ideal size for a dbty? One that's not too small but also not too big for layering. Need some help with choosing the size!

This is the one I have and it works well for layering. It's .14 carat rose gold. It is sparkly and adds a bit more to the regular silver pendant. I love it :)

Mine does not flip at all. RG's bezel is thicker so it keeps it in place well. Also, the bezel keeps it off your skin, so you don't have to worry about the diamond's culet touching your skin! YG is pretty for sure but I personally like RG a lot.
