Hang in there @rosebean. The wait may be more than you like, but it will be worth it and more enjoyable when you get it. Are you waiting for rose, yellow or white gold versions?

Since folks reading this thread appreciate different brands and different styles of jewelry, I thought I would share in case some of you might be interested...
I mentioned earlier there is a Tiffany exhibition of their historical and high jewelry going on in London. The exhibition has 7 "sections", and it is supposed to come to NYC next. I have been following this exhibition because the date for NYC has not been announced, and I do not want to miss it. Tiffany just confirmed only sections of the London exhibition will make it to NYC, so NYC will not exhibition all 7 sections.
This is FYI to share in case any of you were planning on going to the NYC exhibition. If seeing the full exhibition matters to you, you might have to hop across the pond to see all the pieces. There are some magnificent pieces.

Had a chance to stop into a Buccelati store in Vegas. I tried one bracelet that intrigued me. Beautiful workmanship. Look at the hand etched lines. And if it gets scratched up, they can redo it for you. See the multicolored reflections of the white gold?
I am love with Buccellati, and I was just there a few weeks ago!
I love their wide bangles with the Rigato finish. As FYI, they can make any design in any metal.
This is the one I like, but I want it made in all WG (no YG accents).
Their metalwork is gorgeous.

I would like to have your input. I am torn between Bulgari Serpenti vs Tiffany Hardwear necklace. which one would you go for?
I love Tiffany but not a fan of their Hardwear line. Not in love with Bvlgari in general but love their Serpenti line
so my vote for the serpenti necklace
… which do you like more or is it 50/50 for you?
The workmanship on these are stunning and the etched lines absolutely gorgeous
I love Buccellati--the metalwork and etching are, quite literally, brilliant. I am usually shy about posting but these designs deserve more love on the forum:
These are gorgeous. I really love this brand now too! I used to think it was so old world glamour and a bit stuffy for me. However, I am now all grown up!
I have been researching the pieces planning my collection and what pieces to get. 
Love your bangles and the Rigato finish. It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Well, my honest thoughts on this...
For me, I would not get either, but if I had to pick one, I would pick the Tiffany Hardwear. Here is why...
The Bulgari looks neither here nor there to me. It's not a statement piece, and it looks like a herringbone chain collar necklace, a bit plain. If you did not tell me up front this was Bulgari, I would have to really stare at it to see the Serpenti theme because the ncklace is so thin. I also think this necklace is not lasting, and you may tire of it because it's a bit simple, unless the simple look is what you want.
The Tiffany Hardwear is very edgey which is personally not my look. Hence, for me, I would not buy it. That said, I love the Hardwear collection and this necklace! It's bold, and it's a great design. I love seeing it on people; it's very fresh. I wish I dressed edgey so I could buy Hardwear pieces!
Industrial theme jewelry such as Hardwear. paperclips, are very fashionable now, so you will definitely get a lot of wear out of this necklace assuming this is your look. Think if this is your look, because for me, no matter how beautiful something is, if it's not my look, I pass. Since this thread of part of the VCA forum, I assume you already have a 10 motif. If not, for me., since you like short necklaces, I would get a 10 motif over both of these necklaces.
That's just my two cents. Jewelry is 100% preference, and all that matters is if you love it.
These two necklaces are very difference fashion looks, so ask yourself which of these necklaces (including the 10 motif) are "you," your fashion look. Everyone has a look they strive for (e.g. the look I strive for is old world glamour, think Elizabeth Taylor bling).
Hope this helps. Good luck!
I would choose the hardware necklace. It photographs well. The design is robust, and it feels substantial.
The serpenti doesn’t look as snake-like as a necklace. I prefer it coiled around a wrist or finger. Around the neck, the snake looks much less “alive.” If you wanted serpenti as a necklace, I would go for the one where it’s biting the tail. Otherwise, the distinctive snake design just isn’t being highlighted. Also, this version where only the ends of the tail and head are pave just looks a bit random. Like I’d prefer it to either be alternating diamonds, or for it to be all pave, or all gold. I think the serpenti’s clean lines get lost in this version. It’s just not as sexy anymore. Like, I’d rather go for the snake head pendant than the whole snake necklace here.
Serpenti. I don’t prefer the hardware piece around the neck. Too harsh and unwieldy. The serpenti is at least cute. Does Tiffany still sell Elsa Peretti’s serpent necklace? I prefer that to Bulgari’s version that you pictured.
+1 serpentiI love Tiffany but not a fan of their Hardwear line. Not in love with Bvlgari in general but love their Serpenti line
, but this one isnt my favorite. I prefer chunkier ones that are more like a coiled lariat head and tail @BigAkoya
