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!

Town & Country article showing a number of pieces, including the large Tolomeo on the Arno chain. The prices...!

Page from a 2008 Saks catalog, medium and large Amulets on a Classic Oval chain.
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.

Well, you’re right about shedding tears over those prices!!! I loved seeing the pictures, though, especially the Arno chain! Very helpful! I wish they'd make one like that in the size of the classic oval chain. I feel like that size (and price) is better for me, but I’d love to have the Arno design. The heavier links seem to hang better. I may end up with another classic oval in 32”. But I have decided to wait and be sure I am getting an amulet before I buy a chain!
