I've enjoyed this thread so much! Last weekend, I read through all 73 pages, in preparation for a visit to my boutique. I was looking for thoughts about, and photos of the Farandole necklace. I gleaned so much great information!
Today, I had the luxury of trying the 80cm, the 120cm, and the 160cm. It was so very helpful to be able to try all three lengths, and to play with them a bit. Most recently, I'd thought I wanted the 160cm. But quickly, with a bit of back and forth between the 160cm and the 120cm, it was clear which was best for me. My wonderful sales associate, who is such a gem, helped me weigh the pros and cons. Very happily, the 120cm came home with me!
It's such a beautiful necklace in person!

I'd always thought it was attractive, but now I understand all the fuss! It's so gorgeous, luxuriously weighty, and of course beautifully crafted. I slipped it on as soon as I got home to take a photo. So, perhaps a bit over-accessorized, here is my new Farandole! This length reminds me of the wonderfully long necklaces I love, of the 1920s.
Thanks for letting me share my first piece of Hermes silver!
