Hello everyone! I've actually read all 160+ pages
thank you so much for posting pictures and infos! I am thinking of getting a DBTY myself, and you really helped me! Now I kinda feel like a DBTY expert...
However, still struggling with my choice; can someone help me?
I think for me 0.17ct is a pretty good size (also, its the largest I can afford atm lol). However, according to Tiffanys website, the diamonds for the YG and RG DBTYs have worse specs (color H-I) than the platinum ones (color D-G)? Even though they are approx. the same price! (the platinum one is only 100€ more!) If I remember correctly, same has been mentioned by AntiqueShopper in this thread. I wonder why the plat ones have better specs?
Also, has anyone compared 0.17 plat with yg/rg? Which one is more sparkly? I am not sure which metal I should choose. I would say I have a neutral skintone (pale asian) and the watches I wear everyday are in stainless steel (so silver), so plat would actually fit with the watch. Also, I think the diamond looks a bit bigger with Plat as they are both "silverish" if that makes sense. But I also think RG is a beautiful color and would probably look nice against my skin as well. BUT the RG .17 have a thicker bezel so I am not sure how to think about that. From what I have read in this thread, the RG .17 wont poke because of the thicker bezel (which is good), is heavier so it wont flip, and also the diamond looks bigger. But I am a bit worried that the diamond wont sparkle as much as the ones with a thinner necklace and also the diamond have worse specs for approx. the same price... Also, from the pictures
Before I go in store and check, I would like to ask what you think about the above mentioned? Which metal color do you like best? Also, has some both plat and rg (or even all 3) and willing to share their opinion? TIA!
