i dont think measuring it like that with the bezel is accurate. the only way to know the exact size of the stone is to take it to tiffany, they will look up serial number and provide the size.

my platinum tiffany dbty was sold by a very reputable ebay seller, who has a jewelery store in USA. it was advertised as 0.33. so i placed my bids accordingly, i did win it and as soon as it arrived - took it to tiffany. they checked serial number and told me its a 0.25. so i filed a dispute and got partial refund, i also asked why would they advertised it as 0.33. the answer was: we measured the stone! well u cannot simply "measure" it!! and a jeweler should know better! especially with this type of tiffany stone/style/design as its too easy to get the original stone specs by checking its serial number. so either the seller was not honest or could not be bothered or whatever! it measured about 4 mm, but i don't think its really accurate when done with a ruler and in a bezel. 
whether its a tifffany diamond or not - ruler does not give u an idea of the carat. of course u will know whether its 0.2 or 2 carat when measuring... but not when its .14 or .12 etc.

Yes you are right. I'm just merely giving a rough idea on it since a member asked to post the width (for general guidance). The best way is always go to professional or Tiffany's as mentioned by you to check how many carat the diamond actually is.
Much appreciated Erinrose
Here´s a pic, it´s the 16 inches DBTY in .05 sterling silver.

Thank u for giving the example! Yes, I do agree with u. It's just that I wanted to get a general idea about the size. Thanks again.

And the pic u posted for me did actually help me! Thank u stmary. I appreciated it a lot.
I think it's just that the diamonds look bigger in the photos cos in the photos, everyone focuses on the diamonds, esp since most of the photos posted are neck shots, whereas if you wear it in real life and look in the mirror, you are seeing the whole picture, kwim? I had the same thought as you before when i was shopping for mine - at the store, i kept thinking the diamonds look smaller than in the photos here. But I still bought it bcos i love the look and besides, the whole point of dbty is that it is supposed to be delicate

I want that one too! I COULD get it next Friday (vacation check) but I wouldn't be able to get my Pandora beads I want and that's also money that could be put towards paying down bills and such. I keep having to remind myself that I don't deserve it yet. I deserve it when my more important stuff is taken care of

ohhh next Friday sounds great haha! I will have to wait a few months to save up. Im soo impatient I know ill end up buying it earlier! Much to DH disgust!
Sigh... I would love to get it but I just can't justify it! I'll settle with a few Pandora beads for my bracelet. Maybe my BF will get it for me for our one year which is in 5 months
