I've been searching for a white Lift pendant for quite a while, and happily finally found one! I wanted one that is beautiful on both sides, and was thrilled to find this one, as it has an interesting horn pattern. While I love my black Lift, it's rather boring on the reverse side, so I'll enjoy being able to wear this with either side showing.

Oh my gosh etoile, your Lift is stunning! I have eyed quite a few horn pieces in my searches and have noted the significant variation in the horn markings; you've snagged a beauty, and one which really compliments the white lacquer. Major congrats to you!! And thanks for appreciating my new necklace -- I'm still not sure whether it has an official name, and 'mutant Duncan' isn't quite the tone I'm going for, LOL!

So beautiful, textile girl! The perfect choice. Now that I've seen this all-horn version, I'm completely of your opinion—it's the best of all the versions. You look wonderful in it!

Thanks arabesques, I think it would be beautiful with a certain Brazil Dip Dye :graucho: I have another horn piece in play that might send my BIN finger crashing down on that silky key but the piece has yet to arrive....Ban? What Ban? :D

Bans are for the mighty . . . I prefer to be mouse-like in such situations. :D I'm looking forward to seeing this piece of horn. Still, keep some aside for this dip dye!! You won't regret it. Now . . . if they would just get in more colors. Blue would be fabulous.

Many thanks textilegirl! I think part of the fun of these horn pieces, is how unique each one is. It's always nice to have at least two of the same piece to choose from when buying, but that can be a challenge! Regarding the name of your necklace, maybe lala could help?

I've been searching for some time now, and finally found my grail Isidore/Duncan. This version has neither lacquered or leather/exotic skin links and so I'm not sure of it's official name (anyone?). I am thrilled!

LOVE this! I had no idea they offered an all horn version, so it's going on my radar.
It's a beauty and you look exquisite, congratulations!

Oh, Textilegirl, this is so beautiful! Congratulations! I did not know Isidore existed in an all-horn version, but I am so happy you made this discovery and tracked her down!

etoile, your pendant is really lovely--I guess the white lacquer helps highlight the beautiful pattern of the horn on the reverse side. You did get a really pretty piece here. Congratulations!

Thanks so much, VnSoie! I hadn't thought about it before buying this piece, but yes, the lighter areas being somewhat transparent, do take on a bit of the lacquer color from the other side. I'd love a few more Lift pendants in various colors. :smile1: It will be fun while searching, to see how the lacquer color on the front, affects the horn coloration of the reverse.

All these enabling is too much for me somive also finally succumbed to my first horn piece. :D

I like how incredibly lightweight it is but also bemused by the rather obvious 'made in Vietnamese' tag.

Hi Jadeite, is this the Deva or Lena? I saw the version in the white lacquer pieces referred to as a different necklace, or are the two color combos named differently? Its absolutely beautiful by the way. I hope to find one myself, but I am unsure of the color combo I prefer. TIA.
