I think that is the etcetera necklace. It's one necklace. I'm not sure if they are still selling it or if it's just for display. They have used it several times in the fsh window displays over the past few years but I have never seen it displayed for sale. There is also a matching bracelet. I have to imagine that the cost would be at least 8000-10000 euros based on other items I have purchased. But I'm guessing.

Btw, there an Etcetera necklace in the Dc store. I saw it yesterday and it is very beautiful. Clearly a statement piece, not something i'd be able to wear everyday. The price is around $8000.

And i also verified that the farandole 120 and 160 are the same thickness (not that there was any doubt at this point). Not a small necklace by any standard but it gets lost on me, as Eagle also said.

That's not a bad price at all for such a beautiful necklace. But yes not an everyday piece. If feel the same way about the gold filet d'or long necklace. A beautiful piece but the price per wear would be high. Something for the girl who has everything I suppose. [emoji7]

Thank you both so much for your input! I'm heartened by your reports and have decided to go for it. I love how it looks, and as Ms. Piggy says, it really is a special design. My understanding from an SA in Paris was that the Quark was a classic Hermes design for a very long time and was offered each year with red, black, or orange resin until it was discontinued. Then it was revived only for one season and offered with the orange resin (my favorite color for it anyway) and is no longer being issued. I feel lucky there are still some from the limited reissue out there to be bought!

Congrats on a very special piece of H silver calexandre. The ring is very dear to me as I acquired it in FSH and I too was told the same provenance about the Quark design. Wear it in good health! :smile:

I was just admiring the etcetera at FSH and it was 5500ish Euro. Definitely a savings to buy it there. I love this piece but I don't think I would wear it enough either. Sigh

The jewelry is quite a savings. I have bought almost all of my silver jewelry there. Plus they have a great selection. 5500 euros is a great price for that necklace considering that a single chain d'ancre GM is 1800 euros.

As others have said, it's the Etcetera long necklace. I have both the shorter necklace and the bracelet and they are favorite everyday pieces of mine, and I would adore the long version for evening if it weren't so cher. I was under the impression that the line was discontinued, but I saw the long necklace in all the Paris boutiques for sale, as well as at Madison. Definitely try it on when you get the chance.

Thank you for the info. I'll definitely try it for future reference. Good to know that they are still selling it. It's beautiful. I already have a few other pieces on hold for my fall trip. I'd love to see your shorter necklace if you have a photo.

The Etcetera necklace used to be a collection of various links very much like the Alea only chunkier and, ah, more discordant. Then it became this multi-chain number. I am more a bracelet person but I would have liked to at least try on the chunky Etcertera. Does the Alea bracelet work well (look ok) combined with other H bracelets?

Ok so we will each pay 25% and we can create a schedule of who gets to wear it when. We should start an Hermes library system. Think of the money we will save. We can get one of everything. [emoji23]

I'm in. We need to get more participants to bring down that 25 percent apiece.

It will be hard not to look at the scarves but I am not sure this A/W season will be as good for me as S/S 2016 or A/W 2015. If all else fails I can probably get one of those H scarves that have all the bracelets displayed. It would do double duty not only as something to wear but also as an inventory system.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] agree completely. This season the scarves are not as tempting thank goodness. I can work on my jewelry goals instead.
