I'm bumping this thread because I'm debating about asking for one of these necklaces for my graduation from my parents and I'd like to see some different ones before I make a decision.
Which one were you thinking about? Silver? Gold? Platinum?
Probably white gold. I was thinking of the 0.24 ct Roberto Coin I saw here: http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=493465&CategoryID=21849 but I'm wondering if the size would be good for me. At the moment I'm too far away from a bloomingdales (or any decent mall, really) hence why I was bumping this tread

If you do a search there are a bunch of different sizes and pics in the forum.
I have, I spent about 2 hours going through threads this morning lol. I figured bumping this might encourage others to post who have gotten new DBTY necklaces though.

LOL, yeah, the search can be really cluttered. I've been looking at a yg one for myself. Unfortunately, Tiffany only has dbty in platinum and not wg, so the price will be significantly more. . .

IMHO, I think that looks like a great size. I do not know much about RC's cut, so I cannot assist you with that aspect. DBTY are meant to be more delicate pieces. I own several plus a Tiffany swing piece (which reminds me of the DBTY collection).
It's interesting that you should say that because years and years ago (back in the '70s) when it was first introduced, they offered 4 sizes and the largest was just under 1 carat.
The whole point was supposed to be a bit of sparkle at the throat on an almost invisible chain. All the ads showed tiny diamonds with huge sparkle. I saved all the ads!
Then people started wanting large diamonds and the look really changed, but I don't like it as much.
To this day, DBTY still stay within that standard. The largest one I ever saw was on the website; it is 1.14 points.
Really? So the large stones I see are not Tiffany? That makes sense as there are so many copies.
There are so many designers/jewelers that make similar looking products. I do not know if you can special order a larger stone, but the design is meant to be more delicate.
I have 3 Tiffany DBtY necklaces - all the diamonds are fairly small - my original little one diamond, then I bought the necklace with 5 diamonds and then I bought the longer, thicker chain with lots of varying size. I usually wear them altogether, but they tangle horribly. lol
I got one recently and eventually would love a couple more to layer. I did try to layer mine with my Roberto Coin tiny treasure necklace which also has a very fine gold chain. I think it tangled in under 30 seconds - as soon as I untangle they just wrap around each other almost instantly.
Also, when I wear it alone, it does tend to move towards the back/side of my neck often. Kind of a bummer - I LOVE the look. Is there some trick to keeping it in place?

Yes, they're both the same length - 16 inches. I don't wear them separately - meaning the 2 necklaces are attached to each other when worn. I attach one end of the platinum chain to the opposite end of the YG chain, thus forming 1 very long necklace, wind it around my neck, and then attach the the remaining ends together. I just center the diamonds and position the 0.08 over the 0.37 and voila! It might sound complicated but it works for me (as I do not want to shorten either necklace). It's much easier for me to create the layered effect this way but the need to adjust them from time to time will always be there.
Wow what a great idea! I want to try that with my aquamarine DTBY and my bean! Oooo or maybe with my peretti heart. Thanks for sharing!
No - mine also tangle and when I wear one alone, it moves around. I'm always re-arranging.
