Oh, the beehive chain is so pretty! It's disappointing for the inventory to be low, though. If there is a piece you know you want, you may want to try to call any of the NYC Bloomingdale's, because they seem to be able to get pieces from TSC (if they have them in stock) and honor the sale price. I assume you have to pay for the item for them to get it in. The SA told me today it did not have to be an item on the site. I have not attempted to try this yet, but at some point I will because there are a couple of items I want that they don't list.

Yes, I did see the new pre-order items at Saks! It's good to see new things coming in, but I am very much hoping they will get more of existing stock in, too!

took a look at the saks selection -- i don't have pierced ears, but these are making me wish i did!

i loveeeee the look of tsc's amulets but the medium and large are just slightly too large for me -- i don't wear long necklaces often and i'd be terrified of damaging the rock crystal with it dangling about...so have been eyeing the vine amulet in small recently

Those are beautiful earrings! I do love Vine amulets but I'd be afraid that rock crystal earrings would stretch my ears!!! The amulets are pretty in all sizes, so you certainly could get a small to wear on a shorter chain. Someone on this thread recently bought and posted that last pair you linked!

That actually happened to me at a restaurant where I sat down and whacked my amulet on the wine glass (had a 24 inch chain then)...left a slight mark on one of the moonstones. It's too bad moonstones and rock crystals are so soft.

That’s one thing I like about the Charleston amulets. They have a lot of gold surrounding the rock crystal which kind of protects it more than some of the designs. Since I’d be using a long chain, I’d still really have to be conscious of sitting down and standing up so that it wouldn’t hit a table or something. I wear long pendants often, though, so I am used to putting my hand over the pendant when needed.

You all have been busy, I have pages to catch-up on! Jumping back in with some pics I took of older brochures and magazine articles I’d saved. They’re from about 2008-2010. May be helpful for some in regards to judging relative sizes.

The previous version of the Arno Chain is shown a few times. In the past it had an integral temple charm and an S hook closure. Now they’re made with a dangling temple charm and a lobster claw clasp. I love the details of the previous Arno, so unique!

Again, unless you want to shed tears, do not look at the prices!

TSC brochure showing various versions of the Amulet and all the sizes, from extra small to extra large. I’ve not seen the extra large offered in a long time. It was really big! It’s the one shown with the Arno Chain.

I saw the first two episodes of The Gilded Age, and it is a great series! Love it. The jewelry is fabulous, and as some of you have mentioned, there is a lot of TSC.

Here is a great article on the exact pieces, especially worn by Mrs. Russell.

In the meantime, I will share pics that I received from TSC! I contacted them seeking information about some products (including the classic round and classic oval chains) and they sent me several pictures. @DS2006 - based on your wants, I think the classic round sounds like a good fit.

Most of the pics I'm attaching show the classic round chain with 1 of the Astrid amulets. In the pics showing the layered chains, I believe the round is the shorter one (round = 18" and oval = 24").

Many thanks for sharing these, @smile10281! Especially fun to see the medium Tolomeo in action , and so helpful to see the Classic Round and Classic Oval chains side by side!

I love the Vine Amulet earrings, so beautiful! I also wondered about weight, as some of her earrings are, sadly, too heavy for me.

Great photos! Thanks for posting. In The Gilded Age, Mrs. Russell wears the vine amulet on a short chain, and it looks beautiful too!


And yes, wow… the Tolomeo was a bargain back then!

So sorry to hear! I think you said you'd chipped your lovely moonstone Collina ring, too. I think if I purchase moonstone pieces, I'd consider insuring them (with the possible exception of earrings, as less prone to impact). I selectively insure, and moonstone pieces seem good candidates! Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

I saw this article, too! Very fun! Excited you've been able to watch. Must investigate how, as we don't have HBO. Hoping it will pop-up somewhere else, at some point!

Haha I need to be more careful with moonstones. Thanks for sharing the TSC brochure ads...those prices

Thanks for sharing! I love the Lion collection, I tried the Lion bracelet on years back. I've considered getting the Crouching Lion pendant, so whimsical!
