I have a YG and diamond chain. I’ll also probably spring for the leather cord too. Will post pics when I receive it.

ETA: I have not seen it in real life…. *biting fingernails* I’m fairly confident I will love it.

As I complete my jewelry collection, I really want iconic pieces I will love. I’d rather get fewer pieces. I am also consigning pieces I don’t wear. Yesterday, I consigned three VCA pieces, an Elizabeth Locke necklace, two Yossi Harari earrings, plus some other unbranded items. The VCA should sell quickly.
You’ll love it! Let me know if you want to see more action shots of mine.
 
@BigAkoya wondering if you have her gorgeous and interesting book, Alchemy? In case not, posting some pics here. :flowers:

On pages 176-177 are drawings related to, and beautiful photos of her Tolomeo pendant.

I did get the book and saved it for Christmas! It was an extremely interesting book to read! I did relate to her in several ways which draws me even more to her jewelry! She has lived such a full life! Surprisingly, I found out about a couple of special edition amulets she has made (not offered on her site), and I am pursuing one of those because it would have special meaning to me. I'll tell more once I know if I can obtain one.
 
Also, wanted to add some mod shots in case they can help with visualizing these pieces on/irl, especially if (like me) you don’t live near a TSC retailer. In the first, I’m wearing the small Tolomeo on an 18” chain and medium amulet on a 32” chain. In the second, I’ve layered the amulet with a VCA magic size MOP (long chain doubled up).

I came back to your post because I wanted to ask the name of your 32" chain. I can't tell if it is the extra small oval chain or the fine round chain. I also plan to wear it with a medium amulet. I am really hesitant about ordering a chain without trying on to see the actual size. Your pictures and others on this thread are very helpful, though!

I hope you can find that amulet! All of her pieces are so gorgeous to me. I could stare at them all day.
Good luck to you and post photos!

So glad you're enjoying the book! :heart: Good luck finding your special amulet, and looking forward to updates! :flowers:

Thank you so much! :flowers:

The chain is actually not from Temple,.. it’s by Monica Rich Kosann, and I’m not sure if it’s available on her site (monicarichkosann.com). It is an oval link chain, though.

ETA: my curiosity is piqued by the special edition amulets! I hope you can obtain the one you seek!:heart:

Ah yes, I am familiar with her, too! Thanks!

I actually found some additional really good chains if anyone is interested in another option that is less expensive than TSC. They come in three sizes which will work with various sizes of amulets or pendants. I found the brand, Syna, on Neiman Marcus but the chain was not long enough for me, so I found their site and they had a lot more options.
