From what I heard, the RG bezel is thicker and gives a bit more feminine touch. This is the comparison photo of the RG bezel and YG bezel. I got this YG bezel from BGD but theirs and Tiffany's were pretty identical. Does it help?

You are correct that the RG DBTY bezel is thicker than the YG bezel. I have owned 2 YG DBTY necklaces -- a .05 and a .29; both were uncomfortable because they poked me all the time. Ultimately, I sold the .05 and was able to return the .29. As for the RG DBTY necklace, I have it in all 3 sizes (.03, .07, and .17) and wear them layered all together, and once I put them on, I usually leave them on for a long time. They are all very comfortable, and do not poke even if you place your finger on the back side and press in. I do attribute this to the fact that the bezel (on both the RG and sterling silver versions) is wider than that which is found on the YG and platinum versions of the DBTY. I have also noticed -- when comparing the .05 YG and the .03 sterling silver side by side -- that the .03 diamond actually looked larger than the .05 diamond. This, too, I attribute to the wider bezel.

thank u! i know now why there r a lot more Tiffany YG and platinum DBTY on ebay compare to RG. :-) i am determined to go to Tiffany and try one on, so thanks again for your advise and comparison photos. i am also wondering whether selling my dbty is a good idea if i can get tiffany to change the setting? has anyone done it? i have .25 in plat so can it be changed to 4 prongs? or it needs to be a larger stone? or just changed it to a thicker bezel? or best to sell it and not alter it? as much as i luv the sparkle, making sure it sparkles where it supposed to (and not behind my neck) has become a hassle. also is it possible the chain and my skin r not compatible??? why does it constantly move away from the center? i dont have any issues with any other necklaces, tiffany or not. :-)

I heard the same 'agony' for YG DBTY from quite a few people. When the culet touches the skin, people feel itchy...and the diamond keeps disappearing from center because it just keeps moving. No problem with RG, though! But RG dbty only comes in three sizes and the biggest one is 0.17 carat. Is that large enough for you?

I am not sure if Tiffany's will remake the jewelry using the stone that a customer brings in. I heard it is not possible in Japan because they want to make sure that they use a quality diamond. But maybe they are more flexible because you did buy it from them!

Personally, I think you might get a better value out of your current dbty if you sell it as it is. But if you have an attachment to your stone, I would definitely find it altered at Tiffany's or somewhere else.

The sad thing is, I don't like silver, rose gold or white gold. So I ordered the 0.08 YG yesterday with my first salary. I'm so excited :yahoo:
My first brand name jewelry piece!!! If I really like it I'm gonna get the .14 to wear them together!

I don't think I ever took pictures of these? They're old. I also have a solitaire one from many years ago, but I put it away. I wear these all the time, especially the 19" (maybe I added an inch?) - 5 diamond one. I sleep in it, never take it off.

The longer one has the thicker chain.

They flip, they all flip, they constantly flip and they get tangled too... but they never poke and are never uncomfortable, and I have very sensitive skin.

Do you happen to have any mod shots??

Sorry to say I had to cancel my order because they wouldn't ship it to my courier in the States. Oh well, I'll be getting the Cartier one instead. I'm not in the States, and the Tiffany store here has their prices WAY marked up it's crazy. So getting the Cartier version is actually cheaper here. Tiffany here is selling the 0.12 DBTY YG for more than $2,000. Ridiculous.
