Question about Tiffany's Diamonds by the Yard

P: 7/8/2004 12:40:55 PM
love rocks Rough Rock Total Posts: 45 Last Post: 5/12/2005 Member Since: 5/18/2004	I'm thinking about getting the Tiffany's "Diamonds by the Yard" necklace (on their website, about $800). My question is this: the diamond pendant is .15 carats. Does anyone know what the diameter of a stone that size would be? is that size ridiculously small for a pendant? It looks big in the picture, but... Thanks, all help is appreciated!

I have a "diamond by the inch" necklace (below) my husband had made for me by my jeweler with 13 point stones and I think it's a great size. The Tiffany style was my inspiration (and source of major hint dropping). necklace is 18-in. _____________________________________________ Don't breed or buy when homeless pets continue to die.

kpebbles Cut Rock Total Posts: 106 Last Post: 10/17/2006 Member Since: 12/18/2003	I have that necklace! My boyfriend got it for me for my birthday when we started dating.. i love it as it's the first article of jewelry my boyfriend has bought for me It's very delicate.. the diamond is really small. you should see it for yourself in person to decide if you like it or not. the problem that i have with it is that the diamond pendant part always creeps to the back of my neck..so it looks like i'm just wearing a platinum chain. but yes, it is really small- you should try it on for yourself to see if you like that look. if it didn't rotate to the back of my neck everytime i wore it, i'd probably wear it more. on a sidenote, doese anyone know if there's anyway to make the chain so that the pendant part didn't rotate around?? I do LOVE the look of your diamonds by the inch necklace, jennifer! i was going to purchase one similar to that..but couldn't decide on the size of the stones!

All of these necklaces- the inch, yard, etc- are so awesome...I think this type of style is so flattering and perfect with almost anything. _____________________________________________ Don't breed or buy when homeless pets continue to die.

The "by the yard style" has been done for a long time - it definitely is not Tiffany's invention, and even at Tiffany it had many interpretations - like THIS A 15 point diamond would be about 3.4mm - making a glittering drop on a chain Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen."

And love rocks...are you saying that the tcw of the stones is .15? Or is it one stone? Or each stone? ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough.

love rocks Rough Rock Total Posts: 45 Last Post: 5/12/2005 Member Since: 5/18/2004	It's actually one diamond in a pendant form - it's on the Tiffany website - I was just curious as to how big or small a .15 carat diamond would be --- you know sometimes things look deceivingly big (or small) on the net, so I wanted some opinions! Thanks, everyone, btw, for your replies!!! THanks Valeria, the mm measurement is good to know!

chialea Ideal Rock Total Posts: 520 Last Post: 9/3/2004 Member Since: 4/20/2004	I have one of those "diamonds-by-the-inch" style necklaces (my mom had a whole lot of little stones from different family jewlery, and this was a convenient way to attach m together). I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but I find that the cutlets tend to scratch and poke me, so it's not a comfortable necklace to wear very often...

MC Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,270 Last Post: 7/3/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	I have a .15 diamond that i thought of putting into a pendant, but looking at it now after getting a larger .38 set into the tiffany by the yard style necklace, the little diamond wouldn't have carried enough umph on it's own for ANY sort of pendant (unless it's like the one Jennifer posted w/diamonds all the way around). I'm very petite and even with this in mind, a .15 is TOO small, IMO. Plus the price on the tiffany branding is high. Are you looking at the yellow gold necklace? You should be able to find a good .30 h-I color, SI clarity, H&A stone and have enough money left to set it in a gold tiffany style pendant with a THIN bezel for what you'd pay for the cmaller Tiffany necklace. Both Jennifer and I have had loose diamonds made into the Tiffany style single diamond necklace and hers is a .5 carat and looks gorgeous Michelle

Any tips for choosing a 5-stone princess cut wedding band? I'm considering .25 cts/stone, but haven't decided for sure (if I get smaller stones I'll make it a 7-stone ring).
