Many thanks, both of you!
These three small charms have sentimental meaning for me, and I love the littlest best. It's just so cute! Still hoping to add a larger TSC pendant, just can't decide which one!

The combination is beautiful - and how great that the charms are meaningful to you, too! Love how they look together on you.Many thanks, both of you!

You know, I think I read in her book that many people derive their own meaning to her pieces regardless of her own personal intent. I love to buy jewelry pieces that have meaning to me! I would not have thought about layering the angels until I saw your picture, and I love that idea!
Glad you enjoyed seeing them.
They're small, so harder to capture in pics while worn! Her ads and brochures showed her angels and amulets worn in sets of two or three, so I bought mine with that in mind. I also like the little tinkling sound they make when worn in sets. 
Bought the leather chain from etsy. I also have a plane smaller oval moonstone pendant (without the gemstones).
I’m considering buying this Temple St Clair classic rock crystal amulet with diamonds but am not sure of what type of chain would be best to buy/wear with it? I’m not a fan of the look of the chunkier style chains with the amulets and also the TSC branded chains are incredibly expensive 
For anyone with a similar amulet and who is familiar with VCA, do you think the long chain that comes with my yellow gold/MOP Magic Alhambra pendant would support the size and weight of the amulet? Ideally I’d love to layer the two together at some stage which will mean buying a new chain, but in the meantime I would like to wear the amulet on the VCA chain.
This will be an online order from the US as TSC is not available in the UK, so it’s really hard to decide what to get without being able to try different size and length chains on with the amulet!

This amulet is beautiful! I only have one, the vine in medium size (length 2”, width 0.86” per the TSC website), but if you’d like, I could put it on the VCA magic chain and take pics for you.I’m considering buying this Temple St Clair classic rock crystal amulet with diamonds but am not sure of what type of chain would be best to buy/wear with it?

Oooh yes please!
I’d love to see a photo of your vine anyway, it sounds beautiful! I’m very new to TSC but have fallen in love with her designs.I would get a small round rolo link chain (thin, not the chunky ones). I think it's delicate, yet the rolo design makes it stand out and not look too thin next to the amulet. The rolo design is also in the same aesthetic as the amulet theme. Also, I would get a round rolo vs. an oval. I think the round rolo would compliment the round gold beads. The amulet is oval, and I think an oval rolo would be too much "oval."I’m considering buying this Temple St Clair classic rock crystal amulet with diamonds but am not sure of what type of chain would be best to buy/wear with it?

If you do not care about branded pieces, I would just go to your local jeweler, have him show you the different width options, and just order one. Most good local jewelers carry chains made in Italy, so they are nice.
Also, you can also customize your length to make it land exactly where you want to (including the length of your amulet).
Beautiful amulet, and good luck!
I thought I would post a photo as there are so many rolo variations. Here is what I am thinking... a thin rolo like these, and you may even prefer it a bit thinner.

I agree with what @BigAkoya suggested, to consider a rolo chain to pair with the amulet. If unable to go to a local jeweler, I think the site shared by @DS2006 has great options that are less costly than the chains offered by TSC.
That being said, I tried my amulet on the long chain from VCA and it looks better than I thought it would. The last picture shows the amulet on an oval link chain (not TSC) at shorter length with the VCA on longest length (34”) to give some sense of how they could layer. I tried the reverse combination earlier (post 124 on this thread) which I think works a little better for me given the overall sizes and weights of the 2 pendants. If wearing a smaller amulet, I think it would probably look nicer on top/at a shorter length.

Thank you so much for your advice and photos! As luck would have it, thanks to a lovely friend on here I have managed to order a 30” chain by Monica Rich Kosann in her sample sale
This one:

The amulet is 1 1/2 inches long and so I would look to wear it on the MRK chain and then (if layering) the VCA doubled at 18”. Like @smile10281 I think that the proportions would work best on me this way with the size of the pendants.
I’ll post some photos once the amulet and chain arrive, hopefully by the end of next week

I agree with you. I like your post 124 better, and if you layer, I like the Tolomeo with the Amulet.
I personally do not like the VCA with the amulet. I think adding the Magic takes away from the intricate design of the amulet and two themes don't quite compliment. The Magic is a very simple four leaf clover, and the amulet is so creative with gorgeous metal work. However, because the clover has such a big flat surface, the eye naturally goes to it first where in this case, I would want my statement to be the amulet. That's just me though, and jewelry is very personal.
I love love love the mini Tolomeo with the amulet together. The styles go perfect. I think you can even drop the Tolomeo and wear it on a longer chain so the two pendants are closer together near the torso. I do that a lot. I wear a 34" chain and a 38" as you need space between. Since you have a 34", you could go with a second chain 30" or 38" Try it with a 30" and see how you like it. I think it will look good and the eye can zoom in on that area and see those two pieces. It would make it look like a charm necklace stack if you position them closer together. I think that is such a beautiful look for these pieces, closely layered. I hope that makes sense.
Love your pieces! Just beautiful!
Perfect chain! Can't wait to see a modshot!@BigAkoya @smile10281
