Fope flex it jewellery

[Onebagtoomany]

That's a stunning necklace! Did you sell your things on ebay?

No, to a jeweller! I considered going down the Ebay/consignment route but have heard so many horror stories of things being switched and returned. I actually got quite reasonable prices for most of them and excellent prices for the two rings.

The necklace is a beauty. I’m so tempted just to go ahead (and could return if I needed to) but it’s such a lot of money and I don’t want lust to blind me to how much I would actually wear it. I sold the Prima necklace as I found it a bit flimsy and it didn’t go with most of my other jewellery, other than my Fope pieces. But I prefer the Eka’s design to the Prima, the one diamond rondel (my Prima had three which made it look more dressy) and feel that the thickness would make it a lot more versatile as it looks great as a standalone piece. I can imagine wearing it with a lot of tops and also dresses.

I will model my Eka Tiny necklace for u tmrw. It’s not insubstantial. I’ve tried on a necklace like the one in this picture in the boutique. The look was too thick for me

Would love to see!

I’m only thinking insubstantial as I’m basing my opinion on the Prima which was also a thin necklace, but it’s not a fair comparison as it might have been the design of the Prima which put me off. I absolutely love my Eka Tiny bracelet and the style of the gold.

I’m also not small - UK size 14/16 - so hoping the thicker Eka might look more in proportion. But then the Prima looked fine from that point of view, so the Eka Tiny would too hopefully!

The Eka Tiny is literally just over a quarter of the price, so that’s something to bear in mind. But I don’t want to get it for that reason as then I might still pine for and eventually buy the Eka! I wish there was a way I could try both on first.

@Onebagtoomany , here’s my Eka Tiny necklace. It’s 3mm thick. I’m a size 10/12 UK but I do think I have a thin neck as I have no problems with 40cm chains. This necklace is 43cm I think. Please forgive my bad complexion - I blame having to wear a mask for my breakouts haha

Thanks. I love the EKA also. I purchased the Maori bracelet many many years ago when Fope wsn't as expensive as it is now. Unfortunately, I can't afford to even look now!

Looks gorgeous! I’m swaying towards the Eka Tiny version of the necklace again now, lol.

I’ve been wearing my Eka Tiny necklace 24/7 since I posted my pictures last Saturday. It’s so comfortable that I don’t even feel it’s there. Great for sleeping too!

Made a decision, finally! Getting this



The Eka is too big and I think I would struggle to combine it with everyday outfits because of that. I should receive the Eka Tiny on Friday, can’t wait!

Here is a photo I took of myself when I had my Prima necklace, so looking at this I think the Eka Tiny will still have a good presence on and I prefer the mesh and single diamond rondel which will be less dressy looking?

Here you go!! I could only place it on my wrist. Too difficult for me to get it locked.

Thanks so much for the photos! The links look like those on my Love Nest! Love the diamonds on it too!

Thank you! It's really much prettier in person. The diamonds are so sparkly. I'm just having a problem with putting it on because I have Dupuytren's disease which limits the dexterity of my fingers.

It’s beautiful! Love the diamonds and placement of them!
