thanks for posting comparisons -- really helpful! the 10 pointers are such a nice size for DBTY... wishing i could just add on the three extra points to each of my DBTY stones! :tongue:

You're welcome, Ganesha! I've found comparisons that others have posted here to be very helpful, so I like to do my public duty!

Yes, the 10-pointers are nice. That's why I only have five stones instead of seven. The cost of the five 10-pointers was really the maximum I could spend as I was also buying the sapphire necklace, and I figured that no-one would ever see the two diamonds at the back closest to the clasp. (I have long hair which I rarely wear up.)

So which DBTY do you have? I think 0.07 stones still show up a lot - the one thing I didn't want was stones of 0.05. That is too small for me. With sales tax, the Tiffany platinum three-stone DBTY, with three 0.05 stones, is $1600! That is so much for a total weight of 0.15, IMHO!

Have you seen Orbaya's new WF necklace? It's TEN stones of 0.15 each!! She is one lucky gal...!

Oh wow you got both!!! I am so excited to see these pictures! I was confused when I saw your sapphire/white gold one because I thought you had decided to go for that instead... How great to get both :love:

June Rose - yes, it is great to get both, although I'm feeling slightly guilty! But I figure, prices of precious metals and gems are only shooting up, so I might as well dip into current savings and get them now instead of saving up for many more months, by which time the price will have shot up!

Whenever I have rare pangs of guilt about my collection of sparklies, I remind myself about all the things that other people have spent money on that I never have: I've never owned a car as I live in the heart of the city, never spent money on alcohol, music/CDs, cigarettes, been on very few foreign holidays that I've paid for myself as I used to work in the travel industry - whereas many people I know take a LOT of foreign holidays - and until I moved to the States, where you can get amazing clothes much cheaper than at home, I also rarely used to buy clothes. (I'm just not that interested in them. I'd rather wear simple clothes and let the sparklies do the talking! But I had one U.S. sale bargain I'll never forget: a $700 Ralph Lauren jacket that I loved, found in an outlet 3 years later for $70.00! Yes, a discount of 90%! This doesn't happen in the UK.)

For anyone who's interested, the WF sapphires-by-the yard was $900, and the BGD rose gold DBTY was $1450. I got a $75 discount at WF as they had/have a website promotion where you get $75 off your first order if you register with WF. I also got the 18k gold chain at no extra charge, when I'd ordered the 14k chain. That was worth another $150.00, said the invoice when I received it.

BGD originally quoted me $1550. I really balked because it just seemed a lot considering that the stock version with 7 x .07 stones, totalling the same weight as my 5 x .10 stones, was only $1095. Even allowing for the three-point jump in stone size, it's still the same total weight, so I was very hesitant with a price difference of $455. I knew that larger stones are more expensive per carat than smaller stones, but it seemed a really big difference. After a few days they took $100 off the quote, which was nice of them, so I decided to go for it.

Thanks Enerchi! I had no idea they would go together so well - I am not usually very good at mixing and matching, but I think they layer quite well!

Thansk also everybody else!
