*Show Your Tiffany DBTY Necklace!!!*

[zeusthegreatest]

i was at tiffany's today to finally try rose gold version of DBTY, i tried on 16" in 0.17 and its beautiful! thou the SA i got again never heard of DBTY necklaces flip and turn etc....she did confirm the bezel in RG set diff to the platinum ones... but really.. if they dont know about the issue (or they dont want to admit it?), i felt like i will think about buying it in RG...she also told me it only comes in 16" and i have to pay for adding an extra inch. there isnt anything free....well at least down-under.... and our prices simply suck comparing AU current dollar state to the US dollar....its $1550AU plus cost of adding an inch, about $75 vs $1200US with free extend upto 2" service.

Obviously, the Tiffany DBTY diamonds have a wider table to make the diamonds seem larger in their bezel setting.

What would anyone guess the Tiffany DBTY Table Percentage might be?

Isn't an ideally cut diamond's Table % 58-61? What do you thinkt he DBTY's Table % is? Within the ideal range, or wider?

I ask because the Tiffany diamonds used in DBTY seem much more shallow than roughly 60%...

I want to know it as well. As I know ideal porpotion for table would be in 55-57%, any wider than 60% would look shallow

Hi Andie just wondering does the back poke u? thanks.
ps yes the length looks fab on u, very comfortable looking. (How many inches did u get it lengthened? just 1 or more)....
- 16 inches always is tight on me!

Hi Caz...the back doesn't poke me at all. The bezel is quite generous and I don't think the diamond is big enough! I only got one inch added in (16" to 17"), as I thought 18" would make it sit too low, and make the diamond look really small. In hindsight, even 0.5" might have been fine, but I wouldn't like to pay all the money just for half an inch! I like that I can layer it with 18", 19" and 20" necklaces, too. I wear it most days, alone or as a layering piece, and forget I have it on.

Im not too fussed about the diamond size but u said its not big enough. Can u notice it much or u have to get up close? Still hounding my husband he thinks its a rip off. I will probably end up buying it myself. Ive searched online for other dbty to show my husband and I think the .05 is pretty good value! He said it doesn't say Tiffany's but I said don't u worry us girls know where its from! I have a few RTT and now into less subtle T & Co stuff. Im so mad at him right now haha!

Hi Zeus, yes I frequent the Melbourne one too. I usually try to see Stephanie. She is young, new but really nice and friendly. Yup the extending service is crazy, even for SS its 45 for the first inch!

No, I didn't mean the diamond isn't big enough to notice...I meant it's not big enough to poke me. The culet is probably as fine as a hair.

Anyway, I like it because it's not too in-your-face. It flashes bright when it catches the light, and the silver is nice and pale, but otherwise, the whole point is that it's delicate and rather unassuming. I don't wear it when I want to make a statement, I wear it when I want to layer a few smaller pieces together, or just want a simple look to peep out from under a looped scarf or something.

I don't think anything about Tiffany pricing is 'good value', to be honest. I'm with your husband on this one. I've given up trying to explain the appeal to my own boyfriend. Don't forget it's in sterling silver. The diamonds are nice quality and bright, but they are tiny, definitely. With a non-designer brand, you could probably have the same exact necklace in gold for the same price. You're buying the sleek (much-copied) design and the personal knowledge that you're wearing Tiffany. Plus, if it ever breaks or stretches out, the understanding that they'll fix it for free.

Yes I agree with u on that one. It is not cheap either but men - they just dont ustand...

Does US Tiffany extend length for 2 inches for free? Because I got charged $75. Just wondering...

Both are the RG 0.17 DBTY, just bought the 2nd one last week! I tried other sizes in platinum and yellow gold but because of the thicker RG bezel it still looks bigger compared to a .3 in yellow gold when worn. The lengths are 15.5 n 16 inch.

I'm thinking of getting the shorter necklace cut by another 0.5 inch since both chains tend to get tangled. Any idea if it will weaken the chain to get it altered again?

Oh my gosh they look huge! I am saving up for this and your picture just makes me even more sure it will be worth it.

I don't know if altering it again will make it weaker but I just thought I'd add that I don't think it will help your tangling problem too much. For me my 15" necklace still tangles with my 16" when I layer and it's even more annoying than if it were longer because as it tangles it starts to shorten in length and feel like it's choking me! No matter what you decide I know Tiffany's will do a great job with your alteration so you shouldn't need worry too much.

Thanks for the great pics!

Thanks for sharing your experience, my 15.5 is a little long when I layer it with my 16 inch bow necklace and both necklaces get horribly tangled! I didn't think about it getting too short when its tangled up but that's definitely something to think about. It was a Tiffany SA who suggested that I increase the difference in length between both necklaces so that it wouldn't get tangled, guess that's not true after all. I think the thin chains are to blame!

Have you tried on the DBTY yet? I find that layering helps it to stand out so I'm really glad I bought a second one

Well...one is not enough! I think two is the limit for me though and I'll concentrate on getting other pieces.

Really looks nice!!

Thanks!

Hi Everyone, it is so great to have found this site.

I went into Tiffany's Saturday to have a look at something to get for my mum and ended up trying on a .35 YG DBTY necklace... I put in on hold so that I can think about it as I promised myself that I wont buy anything on a whim anymore (too many hasty purchases to regret later - handbags, shoes etc!!) only to go back an hour later and get it... But so far I LOVE it and am happy with the size, sparkle (obviously), no poking, flipping or anything else. I am so pleased with my purchase
