Hi I have a question for everyone.... I recently purchased an 18 inch dbty (preloved) knowing that it would be too long for me, but loving the fact that I could customize the length for minimal cost. I am having a hard time, tho, figuring out exactly how it should hang so that 1) it doesn't poke so much, 2) it doesn't flip and 3) it will not work its way under a crewneck shirt (boy does it scratch me when it does!). Pictures of where the necklace hits on your neck would be very helpful, as well as the inches. TIA! :)

Hi,
Can i pls know if Tiffany diamonds get dirty and less sparkly with daily wear? I recently bought a 3 diamond BDTY necklace and a bit worried to wear it daily thinking it may loose the sparkle for a day i really need it shiny.

I wear my DBTY daily, and wear lotion, sunscreen, and also bathe with it on. Once a week I wash it with Dawn dish soap and my Sonicare toothbrush, scrubbing both sides. I do this with my diamond rings as well. Even with wearing it daily, the DBTY still sparkles and catches the light. Of course when it's newly cleaned, it sparkles like crazy. I wanted to wear it daily without having to remove it for showers/lotion, etc. Mine is in Platinum so I don't have to worry about tarnishing. HTH. :smile1:

Hi I was wondering whats the length of your platinum dbty? I am going to Tiffany tomorrow to get my 18 inch one shortened, and yours looks like the length I am going for.

Mine is 18 inches, but it often rides up. I would like to shorten it to 17 inches so I can layer with my yellow gold 16 inch and 18 inch sterling silver 5 stone, but haven't wanted to part with it for 2 weeks.

Mine doesnt ride up, so unless I'm wearing a v or scoop neck shirt, it tends to get under the fabric and drive me nuts with the scratching of the diamond. I decided on 16 and 3/4. That way I can layer with a 16 inch dbty in the future and not have issues (i don't feel the poking others describe). I just hope it doesn't flip, bc at 18 inches it never did. I have taken a "before" shot and will post both lengths when I get it back. It should be back on the 1st of sept, which is a long time to shorten a chain imo... And they charged me $70 bc they have to shorten each side. At least I get the chain pieces back... :)

Need urgent help, ladies!! I have received a Silver DBTY necklace as a gift. Anyone knows how to read the quality of the diamond on the gift receipt (or receipt in general)??

And does T & Co. issue a certificate for this range? Or is it only for diamond over a certain carat weight??

Silver DBTY use milee stones and are ungraded. I know from my SA that they range from H-I in color and IF to SI1 in clarity. They do not give certificates for anything less than .25 cttw per stone I believe.
