How serendipitous! I am a big fan of MRK; I think her jewelry is also beautiful and of high quality. The chain looks great, as does the sale price!@BigAkoya @smile10281
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:
30" Cable Chain Necklace by Monica Rich Kosann
A classic gold chain can be a modern basic for any woman – they’re beautiful on their own; layered with other chains or perfect when strung with your favorite heirloom pendant, treasured family ring or Monica Rich Kosann style! This solid 18K gold cable chain is available in 30” and finished...www.monicarichkosann.com
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
Looking forward to reveals of your new amulet and chain!
Thank you, @BigAkoya !
Your posts are so clever and insightful. I will have to try out the long layers and see how that works for me! I love the idea!

I know, so lucky!
I had never heard of MRK before as her designs aren’t available here (UK), but she does have some simply beautiful pieces!
This is beautiful, but all of her amulets are amazing. I have the vine and owl amulets. I just can’t bring myself to pay her prices for chains. I went to a local jeweler and bought what they call a toilet chain (beaded chain). I recently bought the medium Tolemo and thought “how could I not put this with her chain?”. But again, I just couldn’t bring myself to buy her chain. Plus, I thought it looked at a bit busy. I think @BigAkoya alluded to this. Anyway, I bought a paper clip chain from Roberto Coin.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!

I’m sure you will enjoy that amulet.
Your amulets sound beautiful
I know what you mean about the chain prices, they are sooooo expensive. I normally am a bit obsessive and hate not having the matching brand chain to a pendant, but there is no way I am paying £2k+ (more for me with import duties added on top) for a simple chain 
Do you wear the paperclip chain with the Tolomeo? I also have a Roberto Coin paperclip chain and am wondering how it would look with a pendant attached - I normally wear it on its own as a layering piece.I went back to Bloomingdale’s for a TSC necklace to wear with the tolemo. The SA was nice and worked with me until we found the Roberto Coin paper clip chain to wear with it. Saved me money that I can put towards another TSC purchase. I just realized, I have her sapphire amulet and never had the right chain for it. The RC works with it.Your amulets sound beautiful
Can’t wait to see yours!
I don’t want to get off topic, but does anyone have a MRK locket? I’m debating her locket, a Briony Raymond one (although not sure I want a zodiac) or TCS starfish amulet.
I have a few lockets from MRK - happy to opine about them and other MRK pieces. I just saw that someone started another thread in this forum asking about her lockets. Maybe we can discuss there?
Have heard of Briony Raymond but I don’t own any pieces. The TSC starfish amulet is just
.Would love to see pics of your medium Tolomeo and sapphire amulet. Also curious to see how they look on your RC chain!
I don’t have one but am eyeing this as my next purchase:
18K Gold Diamond Infinity Locket | Monica Rich Kosann
With its slim, classic profile let the 18K gold and diamond infinity locket necklace be a foundational piece of your wardrobe. Shop lockets today!
I’d love to know if anyone has one and also the 18k gold chain that comes with it, is the chain sturdy and does it look good with the locket?
Hi. Not a great picture. Here’s the sapphire amulet and Tolomeo pendant on the Roberto Coin chain. I’m going to bump the MRK thread as I’d love to hear and/or see more of your lockets.I have a few lockets from MRK - happy to opine about them and other MRK pieces.

Ohh, we need a bigger better picture! Those are beautiful!!! I didn't go back to see if you saw where I posted chains that are extremely close to the look of TSC at a fraction of the price. I plan to use these except for any TSC that I could find second hand. Certainly a RC chain is great, too! I had looked at those first before I discovered Syna on NM.

I will attempt to take better pictures. I’m so bad at that.
Now I’m looking at TSC’s tree of life locket. So much for saving in 2022…
