I had a niggling feeling (I was previously going by memory) and just had a good look at both. The drilled arm on the pendant is actually deeper to accommodate the hole. So, platinum would be need to be added to that arm of the pin, as not deep enough as is. So sorry to mislead! I hadn't seen the brooch in a long time (I look occasionally for new starfish pieces!), so seems recently reintroduced. So, perhaps they have plans to bring back the pendant. The other twist in all this is LVMH, and what their plans are!
There is another diamond pavé starfish that is absolutely breathtaking! My husband and I saw it in store a little more than a year ago. It's the design below, so larger and more bold than mine. Not sure if it's pavéd white gold, or platinum. I have this pendant in plain gold and silver. It's a gorgeous design, especially when covered in diamonds!

Today I’m wearing:
1. Peretti Turquoise Earrings - something I forgot yesterday. My jewelry addiction is real!
2. 11mm Open Heart Platinum and Diamonds
3. Open Heart Charm Bracelet in silver (the gold version has been on my list for years)
4. Color by the Yard Aquamarine bracelet in platinum
My goal is to wear and post as many different combinations of her pieces as I can for a week.

I love the color of the turquoise they use for her pieces! And, have always loved the lovely, elongated shape of the links used for the charm bracelets, so elegant!
So lovely, and really looks like it was designed to be worn that way! Stunning!
Thanks for sharing, have not seen these before!
Hi! Congratulations on your new bracelet! In my experience, Tiffany does not charge for alterations of new pieces so shortening your new bracelet should be free of charge. I would be sure to get the links back which they always give you, but just double-check.I don't have a piece from elsa peretti at the moment. But I order the CBTY bracelet's with the pink sapphire.My tiffany is still closed because of covid. But they order the bracelet's for me and they will try to get me the matching necklace.
Does anybody know if it will cost extra when I have to shorten the bracelet's? Im not sure if they are too long and I can't try them on.
I hope in the future I can get more pieces from her collection. My wishlist is so long... I plan to get DBTY and maybe CBTY in YG with jade.
By the way, Tiffany customer service is second to none in my opinion, and if your bracelet comes back too short, you can send it back in.
A short story on resizing drama with a happy ending...
I like to wear my rings really loose, and often times, my rings flip around which I kind of like (the illusion of skinny fingers!). I had a ring resized (the gumball turquoise ring). It came back the size I wanted, but because the ring was so top heavy, it wouldn't stay up. I needed to go down a quarter size. Customer service suggested I just add some beads inside. Hmm... I hesitated as I thought it might look like a Frankenstein ring (I'm a purist when it comes to altering jewelry and don't like to do it) and also not comfy, but I said ok. I got the ring back, and it looked and felt weird. I told customer service, nope... I can't live with those beads. They said no problem, we will take out the beads and resize it down a quarter size. All this was done free of charge. It was a recent purchase, and my point in sharing this is if your bracelet doesn't come back perfect, no need to worry... Tiffany customer service will take care of it.
Congrats again on your new bracelet! I'm so happy for you! Pink sapphire is very pretty. Please do post a photo if you want to.
Thank you so much for checking! Yes, I saw that jumbo starfish in the link you sent me! I love that size, but it's silver. I love long necklaces with a big pendant (e.g. think the large bottle), and I was hoping I could create that same look with your platinum starfish. My idea was to buy a longer chain from Tiffany and wear it long, but thinking now, the starfish may not be big enough. I did that a few years with a piece from their "Out of Retirement" collection (2016?). It was the Chinese Food Takeout container that was a pillbox. That thing was so cute, and I thought... what would I ever do with it? Lightbulb moment! Buy a long chain from Tiffany and make it into a big pendant. I did that, and it worked out great.I had a niggling feeling (I was previously going by memory) and just had a good look at both. The drilled arm on the pendant is actually deeper to accommodate the hole. So, platinum would be need to be added to that arm of the pin, as not deep enough as is. So sorry to mislead!

I am getting excited now and hope maybe there will be a Peretti "Out of Retirement" collection, and a starfish!
You are correct though about LVMH... they may just ignore this because Elsa/Halston/Liza/Studio 54/1970s was a moment in America. I hope not. LVMH are smart business people... they can really take advantage of this moment and re-launch Peretti to a new generation.
Here’s a sterling “Inro Box” with a little lid, and the sterling perfume flask necklace.
More to come ....

Yes, I do think mine would feel too small, and too light in weight on a long chain. When I saw the larger one (in link above) in diamond pavé, it felt hard to leave it behind! I think my husband was thinking, "just back away from the jewelry counter...that's right...step back"!
Expensive, plus I wouldn't be able to use very much. So, I'd mostly be taking it out to admire periodically! I do wish they'd introduce white cords for those type of Peretti pendants. I have both black and brown, but would love white for summer.
