I tried on a few lovely pieces at Tiffany the other day- They had a few items I hadn't seen in person before- a thin Lock bracelet, Soleste diamond band and the Schlumberger 36 stone bracelet.
The SA saw me wearing the 16 stone ring, and said I must try on the bracelet
Always fun browsing at a Tiffany store!
I’ve had many silver T&Co over the years but I ended up selling it all. My 0.15ct rose gold DBTY bracelet is the only piece that has lasted the distance! It was a complete steal at 66% off retail from a private seller on eBay. Authenticated by T&Co when I took it in to get shortened. I wear it 24/7 with my Cartier bracelets.
Have they changed the bezel on the rose gold DBTY? I know many preferred the thicker bezel (compared to that on the YG & plat versions) as it eliminated the poking. I had no idea they had changed it!
I just added the olive ring to my right hand stack. The other is the Peretti three diamond band in honor of my three girls. Love them both!
Such a shame! It was nice for people to have options. I reset the diamond from my original engagement ring into a DBTY style pendant & opted for the thicker bezel to avoid the poke.
You have fabulous wrists for bracelets, Sharon. Such a shame you couldn’t get the fit right, but we are all made differently & I know you have other Tiff bracelets (Frank Gehry for one) that you absolutely ROCK
I’ve just spent a few days in Japan and made the most of their second-hand shopping!
Some of you may recall that I tried to make my own scattered DBTY bracelet (link) but whilst I liked the look, the execution was poor and I couldn’t stand the pokey exposed culets against my skin, so that bracelet lies languishing.
When I was in Japan, I saw this “continuous” DBTY by Tiffany, in platinum at a resale store (Komehyo - they’re a nationwide resale chain). I’m a recent convert to platinum - especially as I’m a lazy person and hear that platinum is less “work” than WG.
Each diamond station is estimated to be 0.1ct for a total of 2.30cts. And, with the 0.1ct station size, there are no annoying exposed culets to poke against my skin! Okay, it does poke a little, but it’s not annoying and I don’t notice it unless I’m trying to
The other thing that I thought I’d be bothered by is the flipping, but when the bracelet flips and I only see the pavilion, it has a subtler kind of sparkle like rose cuts. The continuous flow of “rose cuts” is rather beautiful. The second photo is the bracelet flipped with a rose cut ring that I just bought (at Komehyo as well).
Excuse the crappy airport-at-night lighting, I’m sure I’ll be snapping more photos in nicer conditions in future
A perfect combo! So classic
And you clearly are not concerned about all of those cutlets scratching up other bracelets, so I’m beginning to think I am completely WEIRD for feeling that that about my one teeny tiny culet!

Hehe thanks! I felt it was a steal to be honest, and wasn’t sure if it was a mispricing by the store because this bracelet was selling for only ~25% more than a similar DBTY with 7 stations (vs this at 23 stations). **EDIT: the 7 station bracelet has larger diamonds though, I think they’re 0.18ct each.
Generally these stores are accurate with their pricing but I guess sometimes we get lucky!
I had such a blast shopping in Japan, and am lucky that this was my second trip so I’d already done a lot of the sightseeing (and could therefore spend more time in stores haha). When I have time, I’ll condense my Japan pearl, jewellery and watches shopping tips into a thread

Ooooh, I love this! What a great find!
Thank you! I tried to find it on the Tiffany website too but could only find the continuous DBTY in YG or RG. I’ve seen the same bracelet come up for auction a couple of times too (but never pulled the trigger).
Hehe thanks! The hunt is a huge part of the fun for me
- - -
I wore the bracelet today with my pave WG Hermes watch and I must say, I am really liking the two of them together…
One thing I’d love your thoughts on is whether I should remove a few stations to resize the bracelet to my wrist size? It’s too big at the moment, falls halfway down my arm and climbs over my watch. I don’t mind having a scratches JUC, but I do mind having a scratched watch face
Would I be destroying the design / significantly reducing the value if I remove 4-5x stations (out of 23) to fit my wrist better?

Very true, I hadn’t even thought about the snagging/breaking thing! Thanks!
