First time here joining the club.Love love love my new Farandole 120. Still learning the different ways to use it. I don't know why I didn't get H silver jewelry sooner. I find the quality of the silver so much nicer than those from the blue box retailer. I'm hooked!
This looks terrific on you! I had the same feelings as you once I got started on the silver: 1) Where have you been all my life, H silver? and 2) Give me MORE!
This is such a beautiful and unusual piece. Congratulations!
A couple of pieces I haven't posted here yet, although there are modeling shots of both already in this thread!
First, a Confettis 80cm. I had been mulling this piece ever since seeing it sparkling on cvw1004 many months ago. It's one of those pieces you really have to try on to understand how great it is-- neither photos nor the display case can show how much the little pailettes twinkle!
Second, the Vertige ring. I had seen this on the website for ages and thought, "meh." Then I saw it on Arabesques and understood how sculptural and dynamic and bold it is-- again, this is another piece that isn't shown to advantage in the website photos. I tried to take a shot that shows how it arcs up high off the finger when worn.
Thank goodness for savvy H friends who model their silver pieces beautifully.

STUNNING!
Thank you, calexandre! My sentiment exactly.
And thank you for sharing your pic of the Confettis. It looks so pretty on you!
I've been trolling H.com silver section and wasn't sure how this necklace would look on. I hope I can try it on IRL the next time I'm at H. Is it very delicate? I've got 2 little DDs so need something sturdy, just in case.

Wonderful on you , the delicacy of the Confettis necklace against the skin and the black dress

THANK YOU (and Arabesque in an earlier post) for posting an action photo of the Vertige ring! I've eyed this ring on H.com for years, but never saw it in stores and couldn't figure out how it'd look on the finger. I love it. Must stop coming to this thread for my wallet's sake...

So wonderful to see more posts here recently! Many thanks, katmb and calexandre for sharing your gorgeous pieces!
calexandre, the Vertige ring is so beautiful in its elegant simplicity! So helpful to see it from two different angles.
And regarding your Confettis, did your 80cm come in a Y configuration, or is there a clasp that allows fastening it at different lengths? I've only tried the 120cm, and I think it's without a clasp. Lovely both in a Y and continuous. No matter the length or configuration, it's a beautiful necklace!

A brilliant combination C! Congrats and I like the Vertige ring very much. It was tough deciding between it and the Licol!
I LOVE the Vertige - I just never found one that fit me!!!! Congrats - you both look great - you and Calex 
as always!!!!
as always!!!! Thank you, periogirl.
Here is mine . . . along with a Vertige ring. I got them both last week, but I'm having to special order the third piece for the other hand. Sigh . . . It might take months . . .
Ouija Board, have you ordered one? It really is a great piece-- I've been wearing mine every day. I discovered this morning in a meeting that it doubles as a gavel when rapped against a wooden table-- everyone just goes silent.
Thank you, C!

Yes! If you get a Confettis, please post a modeling shot for us! It's such an incredible line. I started with the earrings... now the necklace... and I tried on the bracelet last week and think it's only a matter of time before that comes home with me too.
Thank you, L! I have been terribly tempted by the Licol myself, after seeing it on you and Arabesques.

Ferrip, I hope your Vertige makes its way to you! Maybe one could be ordered for you? I think it would look wonderful on you.
Thank you!

Thanks, frou frou. Of course you know what other silver obsession has been kindled now....
Thank you, calexandre! My sentiment exactly.
And thank you for sharing your pic of the Confettis. It looks so pretty on you!
Definitely try it on! It catches the light so wonderfully.
As for its constitution... I would say it's very delicate, but it is definitely far lighter than the Farandole. I tug and worry and yank my Farandole all the time-- probably very much like a small child-- and I never feel in the slightest as though it might suffer for my antics. But the Confettis I don't think I'd be so cavalier with. And the little discs might show scratches a bit more than the Farandole would. I haven't had mine for long, however, so I'll try to report back when I've worn it around more.
STUNNING!
I hope we're twins on BOTH pieces soon.
