I have had my Fandarole for over two years I think and it has not needed any polishing. But then, I love the softer look of silver so maybe I am not paying attention LOL. It will be interesting to see how different the Galop will be. I suspect the horsehead will need some light polishing now and then.

Thanks for the input ladies!
Maedi: I'm used to the shiny disappearing fairly quickly on my sterling pieces, too. I like the soft glow of a nice patina, too.
etoile de mer: Many thanks for the info about the silvercloth and which companies makes useful product. I think it would be useful here, too as the air in Hawaii is full of salt and it is always so humid. Whatever H uses as a dip for tarnish repellent works really well. Good to know not to polish it until absolutely necessary.
lanit: wow! 2 years? That's fantastic. I've had my farandole for about a year now and it's still beautiful, it astounds me how well it is holding up.
I think this weekend I'll try for a family shot of my pieces. Love H silver!

Well... while I think about how to photograph my small collection together, here's my latest acquisition: an Alea necklace modeled by my DS. 
It's a choker on me, but I think it looks fabulous on him, too. He kept it on for 3 minutes while I tried to get a picture in focus before he went to pull it off. My DH laughed.
This necklace casual yet gorgeous with tshirts, very rock n' roll feeling. I haven't tried dressing it up though... it's such a substantial piece I'm not sure what to try pairing it with.

Sorry for belated reply. The size I got is 52.
I had to order the GM and hope the size is right (this will be the second time). My store isn't in the running for the PM version, the GMs are a re-stock (no pun intended)if I want it I'd have to take a chance H on-line, somehow that makes me more worried about sizing.
The GM Galop ring is stunning too. Did you get your ring yet? Waiting for your modeling pics...

Still waiting for a new batch to come in
Never mind, I am consoling myself while I wait, with some new Gucci silver Flora earrings. They look great but they'll look even better with a Gallop ring
And here is my Coaching Men's silk with Galop GM...
Stunning and serene lanit,
Thank you also for putting the editorial pics up, I tried the ring on in Sloane St, H always order them to fit people's little finger

LOL so so cute, look at those little cheeks aw
I think it is Vicoriashemes, the 'wedding ring' in gold looks similar to me too, it's called the Arianne
Thank you dear - and I totally am with you about H and their TINY ring sizes. I was hoping to find the Passarale - and nothing over size 55 and a global search was done. I would like to wear it on my largest middle ring finger. Don't give up hope. Hope it comes in soon for you!Stunning and serene lanit,
