*Show Your Tiffany DBTY Necklace!!!*

[cvalier26]

Thank you, your post helped me a lot. I love rose gold and yellow gold, but I think I will go with yellow gold (I guess I will have to try both at the store). I would love something dainty for everyday, 0.07 and above would be great.
Is this necklace too delicate for everyday use? Can I use it on the shower?

I don't know much about yellow gold, someone else would have to answer about water
I have other Tiffany necklaces though and the chain is definitely sturdy even if it's thin, which is what I like about it.
Regarding size, it's really a personal thing, it's always best to try them on

Thank you for your answer

Do you think yellow gold would suit me (i'm considering another necklace in yg) ? I only have platinum/silver/white gold + my rose gold dbty.

Your dbty looks great btw! Do you layer it with your bee?

Thank you, it's a .41 yellow gold DBTY. I loaned my bee to a cousin in a different country and I have yet to have it returned... so I've never had the opportunity to layer. However I do layer it with my Tiffany arrow. I currently have that combination on now with silver bead earrings.

Rose gold is my most preferred metal. But with Tiffany DBTY, their rose gold bezels are too thick to my liking. I normally always do platinum with diamonds to empathize the diamond, or do yellow gold if you want a softer look that blends with classic or vintage pieces. I think yellow gold would look great on you.
I'm petite although busty so I have to be careful with necklace lengths; I also have issues with bigger pieces not looking proper on me. However with Tiffany pieces, since they are designed to look delicate, it's easier to do bigger pieces. Long term go as big as you can because you will not out grow the stone. I already feel like the stone is too small for me but it is a great and very substantial size and works perfectly to layer. I shortened it to be a length that I can layer my other necklaces with. Stay under a half carat and you'll be fine I would think. If I can help in any other way please let me know.

Thanks! I would like a dbty in platinum in a bigger size than my rose gold but I'm worried about the poking issue. Does yours bother you? I've read about ppl being poked even by the .08 and I have really annoyingly sensitive skin. My other option would be the solitaire pendant, although I like the bezel more. Also, was thinking maybe the mini circlet pendant could be a good compromise, but a single diamond pendant appeals to me more (although I haven't seen the circlet in real life).

Regarding sizes, it's best to try on in the store. I tried on several sizes and even had the store bring in some necklaces for me before I made my final decision. I originally got rose gold 0.17 carats (thicker bezel) then changed to yellow gold 0.35 carats and it's still dainty enough to wear everyday plus layer with other pieces.

Although the chain is delicate, I wear it 95% of the time including in the shower and it has held up well

Initially the culet did poke me and bother me but after a week I stopped noticing it.

bad bezel vs perfect bezel.......
for all DBTY lovers: check the diamond and bezel before you pay for it!!!

I honestly thought the poking would bother me and was very concerned. After trying several, I think the small ones and the large ones poke the most. I shortened this (twice) and I barely notice it on. I sleep in it. Sometimes because it's short I have to pull the necklace down when I'm laying down. But otherwise the necklace is just an extension of me at this point, much like my love bangle.

I personally am not swayed by the solitaire because I see it from every jeweler, and I like my pieces to have a flair unique to the designer I am buying from. The circlet is a classic and I like the earrings. At the same time the necklace didn't grab me as much. The enchant pendant was very nice though.

I have very sensitive skin (very pink and burn easy), and I can't wear DBTY's. I love them, and even purchased a couple (but had to return) in different sizes.
Generally, I feel the culet and they always leaves marks on my skin.

The SA at my local Tiffs keeps telling me I'd get use to it, but a nice piece of jewelry is not something I want to get "used to".
Shame too because I love them so much.

With that said, there's really no way to know unless you can wear it for a little while and see how it feels on.

Around last year, I bought a Tiffany dbty in gold on eBay, and I was told it was 0.05 ct. I recently got another one that was supposed to be 0.08 ct and when I got it in the mail and compared the two, the difference was huge! Could it be that I had owned a 0.03 before thinking it was 0.05 all long??

Here's a other pic with the 0.08 and a ruler

Here's a other pic with the 0.08 and a ruler

the 0.08 one looks like 0.12 or bigger! wow,where did you get it

 

[eugin111]

I got them both on eBay! I also wondered if I actually did have the right size for 0.05 and got a 0.12 instead of 0.08?

I've been eyeballing these online for the past couple of days. Thanks for sharing the different sizes.

Just got this baby for my birthday yesterday from my boyfriend... Still shocked lol
I told him previously I liked the necklace but didn't think he would get me a tiffany&co one!! I even showed him the one on bluenile so he knew there were other options!
Actually he went a little crazy and ordered one from bluenile too and it'll be here next week. Bigger diamond but who knows what the bezel will look like!! It's also white gold which I don't know if I will like...
But I DO know I love this t&co necklace!!!!!
It's 0.21ct with yellow gold 16" chain
