For some reason the .07 in gold looked much bigger compared to the .07 in SS. Maybe because the color contrast..


The one I bought (pictured), is very classy IMO. It looks great in the sun, but I just feel like for the cost I paid the diamonds are small. She's a beautiful girl, and I wanted to do something nice for her. I'm sure whatever I got her would be appreciated. Just looking for a few other opinions!

I think if you really want her to be impress and happy get the single 0.07 RG. The necklace has 'big' diamond and it is gold, always a winning combination. Good luck! :)
 
Thanks for the help ladies! I'm still partial to getting a larger single, I might go back in tomorrow to the store and check things out again. Just want her to be happy!

I think the necklace you picked is lovely. Does she wear more yellow gold or silver jewelry? If she likes yellow gold I would go for the single version of that. That way she can wear it all the time if she likes and if it gets wet she doesn't have to worry about it tarnishing. I have a platinum one and it is probably the necklace I have worn the most out of any of my necklaces. I would wear it all the time and just layer it with other necklaces.
 
What a beautiful gesture to buy a Tiffany piece for a girlfriend. How thoughtful! That lady is very lucky indeed.

BTW, Elsa Peretti recently expanded the SS DBTY line, which led me to purchase the .17 and have it lengthened to 16.5". Now I have the .03, .05, .07, .17 (from 15" to 16.5") and the 18" 3-stone. I wore 4 of them together today. But, interestingly, the .17 in RG (which is my second most treasured Tiffany piece) looks bigger to me than its counterpart in SS. Maybe it's the contrast of the RG against the white diamond that gives it the illusion of being larger.

I believe the gold has a thinner bezel! Would you mind posting pictures of them next to each other if it's not too much trouble? I would love to see a side by side size comparison
 
The YELLOW gold DBTYs do have a much thinner bezel (as do the platinum DBTYs), which is why -- so my theory goes -- the yellow and platinum DBTYs "poke" the wearer above a certain size. The SS and RG DBTYs, on the other hand, do have a noticeably thicker bezel, such that, no matter what the size, one does not feel poked while wearing them. (I have tried the SS, RG, YG, and platinum DBTYs -- and have always ended up returning the YG and platinum necklaces for this reason.) But that is subjective; most people would probably be quite happy to own a DBTY necklace in YG or platinum. Two caveats: 1) Elsa Peretti has just come out with a very large RG DBTY: .44 and .54, I believe; these necklaces are an entirely different animal vis a vis the bezel, which -- at least from the photos on the Tiffany website -- appear to be thinner like that of the YG and platinum DBTYs. 2) I do own -- and love -- a pair of .36 platinum DBTY earrings, which I wear almost every day.

Mind posting pictures please? :)
