You wear it beautifully! I really do think your bean's holes are better placed for this east/west orientation (vs the key chain bean's holes). Elsa apparently thought it best this way, too! :flowers: Congrats on your new necklace!

Thanks so much, that’s very kind of you. It’s clever to convert the key chain, too. Why not!

Hello, I converted my Bean key ring (see link below), but in north/south orientation instead of east/west. I'm not sure if it's the same size bean (I think possibly, yes), but note that the holes in the key ring are centered, versus pendant bean's holes being off-centered. So, it may work better in north/south orientation.

Love your conversion! As an enhancement, I would use sliding knots on the cord so the length can be adjusted a bit. Here’s a useful tutorial:

Thank you so much for sharing this! I have a few Hermes pendants that have cords with similar sliding knots, and I love being able to wear them at various lengths. So fun to now know how to make these types of cords! :flowers: Looking forward to giving this a try.

I did. Originally that necklace wasn’t east west. It was North South. I bought the bean key chain recently and had my jeweler restring it at 28 inches long. I’ll try to get some pictures. It turned out really pretty. I had stopped by the store recently. They offered to polish for me at the same time as my cuff. And did. Looks exactly the same. I actually like it better longer and north south

Hello! I’m slowly growing my Tiffany collection and this is my very special Elsa peretti collection. I started collecting after she passed away and I have been incredibly lucky to get these from consignment stores at a great value. The bottle and the hoops are vintage (I believe from the 70s based on the signature). The bone cuff is ruthenium but I wear it with my silver pieces as the colors are very similar. The hearts are yellow and rose gold (again I snag pieces if they are a good value and sometimes I have to ignore gold colors 😂). I would love to complete the open heart set by getting a bracelet and a ring. I am also hoping to find starfishes. I am so pleased to be able to share my pieces and to be able to see all you guys’ pieces!
