Yeah, so much for being "done..." I do fear though, that with Halston, the available inventory will start to shrink. Start thinking outside the box, ladies!!
(PS: I may have pulled the trigger on a red bangle I found by accident...)
Oh wow! I hope you bought it! I agree with you, the SA I spoke to at Tiffany said inventory on Peretti pieces was really low. This was from Elsa's passing. Add now this Netflix and bone cuffs, beans, bottle necklaces, and anything red is going to be super popular now!
Please post photos of your red bangle! I can't wait to see it!
A short article on Halston and Elsa Peretti. In hindsight, it's probably good she left the NYC Studio 54 scene and did her own thing. She was very business minded and became very successful.
Red... I wonder who came up with it first. Did Halston love all that red and then Elsa used it in her jewelry (e.g. the big red round disc, red heart, red doughnut bangle)? Or did Elsa come up with that red and Halston then used it everywhere? Hmm...

Sorry to bother everyone, I am wondering if anyone saw my request for help with a Tiffany necklace that's on Poshmark? If anyone could kindly direct me to the appropriate section I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
I was trying to visualize this plump bean sideways, on a long cord. And I actually don't think it would look as good as it would long, the way you guys did it. I think it looks so cute on a short chain like in the documentary photo, but sideways on a long chain, it may look goofy. And your comment that it's so light, it will probably hang wrong too. What do you think about a sidways giant bean on a 32" cord?It seems you need a Bean Key Ring! I may try wearing mine short and sideways, too.I didn't try feeding a chain through before I assembled mine with the cord, so I'm glad @MatAllston was able to answer regarding that, as well as comparing the plumpness! I think it would look nice on the black cord, but it's so very lightweight, not sure how well it would hang worn long.
That's acrazy price for a silver necklace (vintage or not)!
I haven't ordered a giant bean yet because since I found this new SA... I want to decide what I want to do with it, and then maybe she will convert it for me. Almost no chance, but who knows.
hey there, unfortunately, I don’t think anyone is authenticating jewellery right now. The authentication post was closed (but I don’t see any explanation for why) maybe not enough experts?
Honestly, I question everything on PM. Better to stick with more proven sites like TRR, Tradesy, etc.
(Sheepish grin..) Yes, I got it. You’d be so disappointed in me if I hadn’t. And honestly, the price was so good I couldn’t not get it. There are a few out there at sites we’d trust so I’m excited. Especially after seeing Halston this AM. Def. pics when it gets here! Prob next week...
Oh... SO EXCITED! Finally, a red doughnut bangle to get posted here in this thread!
I cannot wait to see it! I love the big fat doughnut bangle, and you have it in red!
I am so happy for you!
NO! I’ve only seen ep. 1 today (watching on days DD physically goes to school) but think I can sneak in at least 2 & 3 tomorrow... Can’t wait! Thanks for the head’s up!

It could work long and sideways, just a matter of personal preference. I think I prefer it hanging vertically worn long. But if I were to wear it sideways, long, I'd buy a long ball chain like the one I have in a shorter length for my starfish. It would add some weight to the whole piece, which may help. And, the chain's clasp slips off one end, so just the 2mm balls need to slip through the holes. I checked as best I could (with mine currently having the white cord running through the holes), and seems would work. It wouldn't be a Tiffany chain, but it would add more weight, you could choose your length, and you wouldn't have the too-big jump ring issue to deal with.
Here's a link to the ball chain. It can be ordered in various lengths, I just chose 36" for you.
