DBTY Good deal or no?! HELP

[staceybee]

So I have been wanting to buy a DBTY 5-stone bracelet for a long time and I saw one in a small jewelry shop ytd! Its in WG 5-stone with 0.38cttw. Its USD1,125. I know its much cheaper than Tiffany's but I have no idea if its a good deal or not. Or should I pay like $400 more to get a thin tennis bracelet?? I cant think straight when I see those blings! HELP pleaseeeee

What are the quality of the stones? 14 or 18kt? Do you have photos?

I find DBTY to be really over priced for what they are. You can barely see the diamonds usually and they are spaced out so far apart. I would try getting it second hand online.

I have this DBTY bracelet from Whiteflash:

It's eight stones, WF ACA, F/G VS, 0.50 tcw and platinum for almost the same price as the one you are considering. I have never seen a Tiffany DBTY so I can't compare the quality, but I'm very happy with my bracelet. You can also get it in 18k WG for $200 less.

I personally like the look of the DBTY over a thin tennis bracelet- but that is me personally. Isn't the BGD version around $800?

Can you show me a picture of you wearing it? I wanna see how it looks on ur arm thanks

I am considering the 6 stone on bluenile! Although its more expensive, the stones r bigger! The ctw is 0.63. I think I prefer a bracelet with bigger stones instead of more stones but smaller. I dun want them too small to be noticed.

Sorry I actually sold mine. I have a Cartier Love bracelet and the DBTY kept getting tangled in it so i stopped wearing it.

I would really like to recommend NOT going larger on a bracelet version. The culet (aka point of the diamond on the bottom) will dig into your wrist. I have scars from my DBTY bracelet- literally. Mine was .40ctw with 4 stones. Granted I'm definitely a klutz and hard on my jewelery so not everyone will have this problem. I think the necklace is fine to go bigger but a bracelet I would stick with or around .30ctw. Just .02 cents.

I just returned the BG .30- diamonds mare really small and chain was too delicate. Was $590.

I don't wear it much anymore (I tend to wear my Tiff charm bracelet more), probably ought to sell it...but it's one of the very few nice pieces I have.
