Ode to the Horn.........

[TexasST]

I am officially addicted to H horn with my very first piece!!

Say hello to my new Tsuba pendant! A little Valentine's Day gift to myself, from myself, hehehe.

I wish I lived near an H Boutique but I will have to feed my addiction via the H.com website for now. Thanks for letting me share my excitement!

Gorgeous and Congratulations! It's a perfect Valentine's Gift. This is one of my favorite horn pieces to wear because of its movement. I hope it is the first of many for you.

Congratulations TexasST! The pattern on your Tsuba is beautiful. I love how each one is unique. This is my favorite horn piece because of its simplicity and elegance. And, not to enable anyone, but this is available on H.com (US) right now!

I've been following your discussion about jewellery to compliment H horn pendants .
I eventually found a pendant I felt comfortable wearing [Dalvy] after years of passing on them . Like Lanit and Etoile I wouldn't double on wearing horn , my own view is that it would downgrade the whole thing somehow .....but then I never wear more than two pieces of jewellery at a time . My preference is for tiny gold earrings , I find silver a bit cool for the warm tones of horn .
It's great to share views but eventually we have to be able to mean what we wear KWIM?

Dear frou frou, the Dalvy is such a lovely pendant! Have we seen yours? Would love to see a photo.

Congratulations TexasST! The Tsuba is so clean, spare, and modern. Enjoy your new necklace!

This is such a beautiful, luminous horn pattern! There is nothing wrong with gifts to self.

And I can relate, it is frustrating to have the dot com as the only legitimate source of addiction

Wow! I have to confess that I had no idea that H made horn accessories. Thanks for the lessons and the gorgeous photos.

I'm kind of glad that I don't live closer to an H boutique!

I am thinking to get my first isthme for myself and was browsing the all-horn version but couldn't find one. Instead I found some half lacquered versions in orange and pink from hermes website and would like to ask your opinion on the color since I am a person who can't make a decision when it comes to Hermes.;( I am thinking to wear mostly on neutral colored top or maxi dress during the summer. How does it look like the back side? Can I wear this reversed? Please share your opinion for choosing the color. Thanks~

No contest for me, it has to be ORANGE ! I find it goes with everything , and isn't too girly .
Pink is pretty too, I saw this in H and it's a strong pink .
Good luck and let us know what you decide .

Skylover, I vote for orange as for more versatile. Unless you have hot pink accessories, orange would be a good starter

About the all-horn version... I also need a vote.

I initially wanted only a horizontal horn pattern and I even called H.com begging to accommodate this special request, but the answer was many flavors of no. So, I took a risk and of course, a vertical stripe Isthme came in the mail today.

At first, I was extremely disappointed and didn't even want to try it on but after an hour, it has started growing on me. Would you keep this particular pendant or should I return it? Is it a "nice" Isthme as Isthmes go?

I was also looking for an all-horn version last fall. Unfortunately no local boutiques carried the Isthme. So I compromised & got the Lift pendants. I comforted myself by saying I've got 2 sides to wear: the lacquer side & the horn side. Ï would say your Isthme has a lovely pattern. The horn side of one of my Lifts is devoid of pattern & uniform in color!

I think the pattern looks great but you must honestly think you will love it and wear it enough. Don't try to talk yourself into it at this price, you will only wind up putting it away for later and never wearing it. I figured this out with what i thought was a grail necklace for me... and was so nonplussed when I got it I was so sad. I thought I would regret a return, but once it left me all I felt was relief... so the search goes on!
