Temple St. Clair fans, let’s share our favorites!

I hope the WG Tolomeo exceeds your expectations. Because the YG Tolomeo has a matte, satin-y finish, it will not look cheap. I think the (minimal) risk will be that it may have a masculine or industrial feel. But the colored gems should soften this.

I love your Tolomeo and I was glad to know you bought it through Bloomingdale's. I hope to start buying a few TSC pieces there. I was watching a YouTube video last night where Temple was giving a tour of her office and jewelry to the Bloomingdale's director of fashion. I believe I read that they ordered your Tolomeo pendant for you and allowed you to use their gift card sale. Do you have any idea whether the Friends and Family sales would apply to TSC? I would buy the rest of my pieces through them if they would (or the gift cards, if not)! I may sign up for emails just to get sale alerts! If we want to order something they don't have, is there a specific sales person you recommend? I have no idea if they have dedicated sales people for particular brands. Thanks!

Oh, and I don't think you've posted your Tolomeo and bracelets in this thread! I think we need that photo here, too!

This is so so so gorgeous! I would love to see a shot of it suspended with the rings orbiting! I love that aspect of Tolomeo! The cord goes perfect with it as do the bangles!

Thank you! These are all so beautiful! I'd like to try on all of these! How do you like the earrings?

I don’t think Bloomingdale’s applies F&F to TSC. Years ago they and Saks did. I think they do gift card events or extra loyalist points instead. I will say that when I bought my recent piece, I connected with the SA. He called me a few days later to say they were running a special giving 20% off with non-Bloomingdale’s CC and 25% off with Bloomingdale’s CC. This was in-store only. Buying on line was still gift card or points. So, I think connecting with the SA will help with future promos.

As fortune would have it for us ladies...
I just got an email from Bloomies they are doing Loyallist Power Points, and TSC is included.
It basically boils down to 20% off. This is valid now until Jan 31, so if anyone interested in purchasing, you may want to surf Bloomies! I am sure if you want a piece not online, an SA can help and it would also qualify.

Here is the writeup I saved (click on Loyallist Power Points) when you see a TSC piece.
Hope this was helpful.

Oops.. I meant to say it’s valid until today! Jan 23!
I am sure there will be other opportunities.

It definitely sounds like it is beneficial to connect with an SA. Did you call the Bloomingdale's in NYC? If so, would you mind messaging me with the name and # of that SA? I don't think we'd ever have any conflict wanting the same piece since they can order more from TSC if they run out. (Not that I plan to buy a large number of pieces, anyway!) Are there sales people who specialize in TSC or do all the SAs work all brands?

Thank you for that info, too! I am not sure I'll order this time, because I'd like to get the other special amulet (which cannot be purchased anywhere but the one jewelry store and at full price) and see what chain goes best with it before ordering one. I really want a long TSC chain and would only buy if they are 20-25% off! I really hate dealing with all the points and especially having to get another CC, but on expensive items, it definitely pays off! I am going ahead and signing up for the Loyallist account so I can get sale notifications!

You don’t need to get a Bloomies CC. I don’t have one as I prefer to get points from my Marriott VISA. Just sign up for loyalist.

Yes, I hear you on gift cards! My husband thinks they are worthless as you have to spend again to get rid of those gift cards! I just end up stocking up La Mer skin care to use up any gift cards.

Funny you mentioned a long chain… we have such similar taste… let me guess… do you want the 32” Classic Round chain?

I asked TSC to make that in WG too as that would be the chain I will use for my WG Tolomeo.

I actually thought about you needing a white gold TSC chain if you go forward with the Tolomeo! I wondered if you had asked! It only makes sense that they'd do a chain to match! I absolutely LOVE my classic oval chain (chubby oval). It is substantial and really compliments the locket, so I am kind of sold on her chains now. And yes, I want either the 32" classic round or possibly the 32" ribbon chain for the amulet! That was a very good guess! I feel like if I did end up ever getting a large amulet (I'd love the large vine amulet if it's not too huge!), I'd need the classic chain which is slightly larger than the ribbon chain. But I think the ribbon chain would be fine with a medium amulet. It would help to see them and I hope I can when I buy the medium amulet.

Okay, good, I am glad you think Loyalist is good enough without the CC! I'll just sign up for Loyalist! I have some NM gift cards that I need to use, and they don't carry TSC! Makes me so mad! I have to order something by the end of January because two expire, and I am literally going to just have to order something I don't really care about! The one thing I hate about gift card sales is when they give you a limited time to use them. But I'll do it at Bloomies since I know they have things I DO want!

Somewhere someone asked for a picture with the locket on, and I am not sure if it was here or in the VCA (other brands you wear) thread. But here is the best I could manage!

This looks great on you! I love the oval chain. When I was deciding on what chain to go with my Tolomeo, my first choice was the oval chain. That was just based on pure visual as it is such a beautiful chain. hen I read about each chain, and the only reason why I went with the round is the writeup on the round chain said it would go well with Tolomeo, so I chose it for that reason. Visually, I love your oval chain.

A couple other tidbits...
Did you know there is a chain guide page? In case you cannot get to the link, I'll post the image below too.

My favorite chain is their Jean d'Arc necklace, which I thought about asking then to do a smaller version in 32." I thought that would be too much drama, and since the Jean d'Arc necklace has round links, I thought.. okay, I'll stick with the classic round.
Jean d’Arc Necklace – Temple St. Clair (templestclair.com)

I think the ribbon or classic round are both good choices, but the ribbon is alternating rounds and ovals, so you may find that too busy worn with the amulet as you may want the amulet to be the star, not the chain. Plus, you already have the perfect oval chain, so now you can have a round chain too. The chain guide gives you really good comparison visuals.

The vine amulet is gorgeous! I think the large is not big at all, as the width only 1.2" hence it's very wearable.

Speaking of your locket, did you know you could engrave it? In case you did not, you can engrave each limb of the tree to make it a family tree if you wish (scroll down to engraving):

For gifts cards... Perfume? Here's a thought for buying something you may not care about, but you may end up falling in love with. I'm a perfume person, and I love florals. Rose is a flower I love, but I have never quite been able to find the perfect true rose scent. I went to London a couple years ago, and in a weak moment, I let a sales lady spritz me with Jo Malone Red Roses cologne. I thought.. "ugh, you are going to regret this now, you will stink all day!" Well, on the contrary, I couldn't stop smelling my arm all day! I'm not really a Jo Malone fan, but this rose perfume is the bomb! I spray it on me all the time, even at night before I go to bed. It feels like I am surrounded by the scent of fresh cut roses all the time, subtle too, but you know it's there. It's very soothing, and I'm usually the bold white floral gal (e.g. tuberose, gardenia). This rose is a true fresh pure rose scent. No vanilla (yuck), no amber (double yuck), no patchouli (barf). Just pure unadulterated roses. So lovely. Maybe blow your gift card on roses and try it!

Yes!!! I have googled TSC chains, amulets, etc. just to get pictures of different combinations especially on people wearing them! I now have a TSC folder of saved pictures on my computer. I came across this wonderful picture that you posted in the last couple of days! Thank you for thinking of me! I really appreciate this photo because now I can better identify the chains when I do see them on the models. I am leaning toward the classic round as long as it doesn't make the medium amulet look too small. I think it's the perfect choice for the Tolomeo. The oval works well with my oval locket, but since the ovals are very chubby, I could certainly wear it with a medium Tolomeo or other round TSC pendant. If I get the classic round for amulets, then I can use ribbon or the small oval or round if I decide I want an 18" chain. I said I only want a few pieces, but you know how that goes once you get hooked!
