I was told there is NO option to keep the jump ring at the original shortest length. They just keep the one at 16 and add 2 more inches and put a jump ring at 18. This is how my HP 2018 was lengthened.
It is the same standard everywhere. I specifically asked to keep the one at the shortest length but it was a no go...
Yes same here...the ones that have been extended have the shortest length at 16 inches then the longest at 18. Works for me since I can never wear it at 15 inches...never liked choker necklaces.

I love the way you styled it here :smile: May I ask, how do you like your tigers eye earrings? I find them very unique. Are they easy to care for as a stone, and do you get a lot of use out of them?

I LOVE them! I’ve only had them about a month but they pair so well with everything! I never thought much about TE and purchased other VCA stones first. But I’m obsessed with these now!

Since I only just recently got the HP as well I find I want to wear them both all the time and don’t want to chose which one so it’s great that they are easier than I though to pair together!

Does anybody know about resale value of Hp from previous years? I love it now, but might change my mind in few years. I just don’t want to loose too much money.

Honestly, you have to consider that almost always, you can expect to lose money on a resale that is purchased at boutique price, even if it's in perfect condition with documentation. These are not so limited (or expensive, in VCA terms) that there will be such a premium like a certain heritage piece would command (and only years/decades down the line). They will probably produce and release thousands more of these before the season is over. Also, you have to consider the commission fee depending on how you are selling. You would be lucky to lose only a couple hundred dollars, at very best. It's nice to try and think about what could be; ie, we all should have bought Chanel CFs a decade ago, but more often than not, you will lose this game.

I was told this exact thing when I asked to keep the shortest one. She said the reason is if you wear it on the longest length the shortest length jump ring will show.

Thank you for your reply! Couple of hundred I don't mind. $1000 Or more I do mind.

Ok now that makes sense... I was confused by the answer I received too. I keep forgetting its a stationary pendant, not loose. I do wish, however, that they would have accommodated my request for both 17 and 18 inch lengths. That's not too long a distance where it would show.

I would account for at least a 30-35% loss unless you sell privately but then assume the risk of being scammed. Jewelry is not a good investment unless it is an extremely rare/LE piece. VCA holds its value better than other brands but you will still likely lose money when reselling.
