Wow, you have some great pieces! The metalwork on the owl is so detailed, just beautiful. I like the amulet too!
Thank you for sharing! I can only imagine the other pieces you have.
These are all wonderful!
Talk about a lot of gold on that amulet! Is it a medium or a large? I love seeing pieces she has made in the past. So keep on posting pictures because you have an appreciative audience!
What, no collections of raccoons? Have you raised any more families lately? Cutest thing ever!
The amulet is a large but what makes it really interesting is that it’s flat on the back.These are all wonderful!
Have you considered any of her turquoise pieces? The Mandala amulet is something special and Nordstrom has it at it’s pre-increase price: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/temple-...zedsort&breadcrumb=Home/All Results&color=400
The oval chain is the perfect proportion to wear with it: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/temple-...zedsort&breadcrumb=Home/All Results&color=710
Just cats. Lots and lots of cats.
I would expect nothing less. Can you believe I'm down to one dog?To keep this thread related, now you've sent on a TSC hunt! I have TSC moonstone and diamond earring, and used to have the bombe moonstone and diamond ring that I bought years ago when a local jewelry store was changing hands. It was a little tight on me, so I gave it to my DIL to wear for it never to be seen again.
Your collection is gorgeous!
Yes, I love turquoise and definitely am interested in some pieces! I mainly want to wear the amulets on a long chain. Do you feel that a medium amulet is okay on a 32" chain? When I called Croghan's I asked if the medium Charleston amulets were okay to wear on a 32" chain, and they said the majority of people were buying to wear on a long chain. But I have never even tried one on! I was going to use the shorter chains (18") for the small flat pendants like angels, celestial pieces, or starfish. That's very good to know the price hasn't been raised yet on the one at Nordstrom! I still would like a sale on top of that, preferably!
Let me clear up a misconception. If you buy a 32” chain, you can fasten it at any length you want, including 18”. The beauty of her chains is that you can fasten them at any length you’re comfortable with, making them extraordinarily versatile.
Oh, definitely! I am just using the small link chains for shorter lengths/smaller pendants and larger link chains for long chains/larger pendants. I only plan on buying one 32” chain. I currently have a 24” classic oval, so I want an 18” with smaller links than classic oval. But I do have the flexibility of wearing the longer ones at a shorter length, which is nice!
I discovered that TSC has some videos on her IG page. Many are just showing a piece of jewelry, but this is a talk she gave on a new collection and her inspiration for it in 2020 from her home. Some of the new collection is not among my favorites of her work, but some of it is really incredible (as in high jewelry and way beyond anything I could buy!)! But still, it is interesting to see the art and history that influences her work, and the more one knows, the more we appreciate her work. Watch on a laptop so you can see it better. This one is a little over 40 minutes.
This one is on water and the sea influences also taken at her home. She has on the larger moonstone starfish in the video and she shows the other variations.

Oh, and here is the owl ring we were talking about! Really a work of art!
@DS2006, thanks so much for sharing the videos above, loved them! 
First was like the most fascinating art history class, and the second a wonderful voyage under the sea. All things I love! And then, the short one showing the owl ring, beautiful! These videos could prove more dangerous for me than trunk shows, with her engaging narration and storytelling, the close-up pics, and her sharing the history behind so many of the pieces... I love so much of her work!
As an aside, I can't ever see Instagram pics/links here on TPF while using my laptop, I just see a blank box where one should appear. Not sure why, something blocks them. But, I was able see the links and watch the videos on my phone. I also don't have an Instagram account (probably dumb, but don't on principle), and so Instagram also locks me out for a day or so after I click on maybe 3-4 pics. Anyway, I rarely go to Instagram, so I appreciate being directed there when wonderful things like these videos pop-up!

I feel exactly the same way about watching her videos! It makes me love and appreciate her jewelry even more!
Regarding IG, while I definitely agree with the principle objection, I do have an account to see my younger daughter’s posts (mainly their dog!)! Otherwise, it’s strictly a jewelry account! I follow a few jewelers, VCA, TSC, etc. I am glad you were able to view the videos! I’ll try to post more if I see good ones!
Thanks so much, appreciated!
Aww...regarding pics of your DDs dog! 
(big dog lover here!!) I wish FB had not bought Instagram. Like you, I find the Instagram brand accounts are a great resource for info!
