Currently online! This is new style for silver right?
I feel like I've only seen this in gold.
There's also a large model. Does this mean there's a medium model too???

if anyone has this bracelet or tried it on, I'd love to know their opinion.
thank you in advance!

I tried this style while I was in store last but it was in rose gold with diamonds. This style is both edgy and beautiful at the same time. My store is getting 3 silver ones in my size and my SA has set aside one for me.

I love love love my silver Chain d'Ancre Punk brooch, but oh-my-goodness how I struggle to style it with my outfits :cursing:

I do, however, like this use of it...it's just so impractical I'd never actually wear it this way :facepalm:

I still believe this is one of the best silver pieces. I have looked in vain for it. It's just so cool.

I'd like to know too. My big CDC is tarnished and I am afraid of abrasive toothpastes.

I use Twinkle brand silver polish. It's gentle but effective. I've used it for years on silver and gold jewelry, as well as silver flatwear. I don't know why people use toothpaste on silver. Maybe it's used in a pinch when they don't have anything else?

Does it work well on both your Tiffany and Hermes silver?

Twinkle silver polish is meant to be used on any brand of sterling silver. I've used it for Tiffany silver (both jewelry and holloware), antique silver flatware, 14k and 18k yellow gold jewelry (as the alloys in gold tarnish a bit, too), etc.... I've tried other brands over the years, but always come back to Twinkle (my mother knew best on this :smile:).

Interestingly, my Hermes silver pieces have never noticeably tarnished. The first piece I purchased is over 11 years old! My SA did say to wait as long as possible to polish, as she said Hermes applies something to help retard tarnish. I've also always stored my pieces in the provided Hermes boxes, which I lined with layers of "Pacific Silvercloth" which also inhibits tarnishing. But, when/if they begin to tarnish, I'd absolutely use Twinkle on them.

When using, I apply with a soft cloth, like an old T shirt, gently rub to polish, and also use a Hagarty horsehair brush in crevices, as needed. Then I thoroughly wash with dish soap, rinse, and dry. Hope that helps a bit! :flowers:
