Has anyone ordered directly from TSC or just department stores?
It seems like a few "new" items have appeared on Saks and Bloomies. I'm kinda hoping that they rotate items in and that some of the items currently on the website might make their way to the stores.
Oh I kept the celestial pendant from before. I ordered another one from Saks during the last promo and the colored stones were even worse! The center moonstone was very nice but the rainbow surrounding it was

Oh no what is going on with the stones? Saks should let TSC know.
I haven't bought directly from her either bc the deals at dept stores are so good.

I think I was looking at a few small amulets and the small starfish pendant. I've looked at so many places it's dizzying

During the last sale at Bloomingdale's a month ago, I asked them if they could get items from TSC that they don't have on their website. The answer was yes, so I placed and order and got the sale price on those items. One is the small starfish! Of course, tomorrow is 4 weeks and I don't have them yet, but I have hope that they will be coming soon! I guess you might want to wait to see how my story ends, but Friends and Family sales should be coming in late March or early April, and that could be an excellent time to buy through Bloomingdale's (and possibly Saks), assuming TSC is included. I will, of course, post here if I get my two items. My SA has been on vacation the last two weeks, but he had an asst. manager who was supposed to contact me if the items came in, and I haven't heard a word. So hopefully the SA will be back next week!

The rainbow effect didn't segue smoothly from one color to the next. It's hard to capture but it is really noticeable IRL. You can see it with the green and blue stones.....it looks out of order. The pale stones next to the blue ones all look one color without the gradation the other one has.
The one I'm keeping is on the left. Hard get a good shot

Ugh this is why rainbow pieces can be hard, I returned a Penny Preville bangle awhile ago for the same reason!

Here’s a photo of the river amulet on TSC’s website

That's beautiful. Originally I had my eye on a simpler bee amulet, but this one is drawing me in. This is large, correct?

I believe this is the large. It does pair so well with the chain. I’m tempted! But I’m not sure how I would like the large on me.

@DS2006, I found the modeling photo from the river chain product description page. I can’t find the amulet on her website either. Hopefully it’ll be for sale soon!

I see what you mean. Your choice looks great. I'll have to keep this mind if I get her rainbow pieces! Thanks for sharing.

Guys, I have a question about some of the amulets. Many years ago I had a very simple TSC small or xsmall amulet on a ball chain, and I ended up selling it as I found it underwhelming on me. I'm seriously considering getting a medium amulet with a 24" oval chain (to give me some flexibility as to how long to wear it, I tend to not wear very long chains...yet). Anyway, the amulet I was considering was the Bee Amulet in medium https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/pro...rystal--amp--diamond-bee-amulet-13822819.html
Does the amulet spin/swivel or would the bee always face forward? It seems the bee is only on one side of this one, and I'd hate to have it just show the back part of the time. The other one I'm considering is this one: https://templestclair.com/collectio...ystal-and-diamond-pave?variant=12503774822505

I want to have a relatively "simple" one in design that's more sleek, then later get one that is much more elaborate in design (the Charleston ones are leaving me gobsmacked, and the beehive one is another I'm coveting)...that one I'd probably also get in a medium.

So many beautiful things to look at I don't really know where to begin. Somehow I ended up with a 20% one-time-use code at Saks that was supposed to end on 3/6 and still seems to work, and on Bloomies they have the gift card offer on TSC. Both Saks and Bloomies have the Bee one but only TSC has the lunar. Ugh. I think I'm talking myself into waiting to get the lunar if it ends up at Saks etc, just because I love the design then saving for the beeHIVE one for later.

Has anyone seen the lunar and bee ones I linked in person?

@WingNut, I purchased the small version of the bee amulet you posted! I tried it on, and the bee doesn’t stay facing forward. It was beautifully crafted, but on me I felt it lacked presence. So I returned it. I didn’t take a photo of it unfortunately. The medium one will for sure have a stronger presence.

Funnily enough, after I got the medium beehive amulet, I was also craving a relatively simple, smaller amulet to wear. I ended up getting the small amulet with diamonds. I really love the simple designs in the small size. This is the one I got, also paired with the ball chain.

I can't respond as to the exact amulets you're inquiring about but I ordered-----and returned this one as the flower motifs were on the sides and the top didn't swivel.
IMO it is very misleading to present these items this way. I had every right to think that the flowers would quite logically be on the FRONT

for the ladies with the rock crystal amulets, particularly the vine one, do you find the small or medium size to be more wearable?

Hi! I have the medium vine and I love it. I usually wear it long, on a 32” chain. When I bought it, I wore it on a chain from a different brand (oval link but much smaller links compared to TSC). I’ve attached a pic that I had taken where I’ve doubled up the chain such that the amulet is hanging around 16”.

I have since purchased the classic oval chain (TSC brand) in the same length that I love to pair it with (thanks for enabling me @DS2006!). Pic of that attached, too. Please excuse the linty look of my sweater!

I bought this amulet sight unseen and was a little concerned that it would be overwhelmingly big. I didn’t really consider the small size, though, because I preferred the detail on the medium size. Happy to say I have no regrets about that choice!

Totally a personal choice, of course. Btw, I remembered seeing pics on Instagram comparing the small and medium vine amulets. (I don’t know/follow the user, but want to give her credit! Username is dearbeautifulworld). I found them when scouring the internet for pictures of the amulet. I’ve grabbed some screenshots of her pictures in case they might be of interest to you.

Would love to hear what you decide! Feel free to let us know

ETA - in reviewing the IG post, I saw that she actually decided to keep the small vine. Added a screenshot of her description.

so helpful, thank you! your amulet is truly gorgeous on you

Whoa, so many new posts today!!!

@DS2006, I found the modeling photo from the river chain product description page. I can’t find the amulet on her website either. Hopefully it’ll be for sale soon!

Thank you! I now see where that picture is! Okay, I think that amulet was from a couple of years ago, so it may or may not be restocked. I think some styles she carries continually, and some she carries for a time and then replaces with new collections. The River pieces were from her Nature Deconstructed collection which was around 2019-2020. There is a wonderful video of TSC describing most of the pieces from that collection! You will see this amulet and chain after the 32 minute mark, but the whole video is worth watching. The amulet certainly is beautiful and goes perfectly with the River chain!

Just remember that Friends and Family sales will likely happen in late March and early April. It will be wonderful if you can also use your Saks code! You may have read before that you can also get a 15% off code from Bloomingdales for signing up for emails, if you haven't already.

On Bloomies last sale, I had them order 2 items I wanted from TSC that they do not carry. I have not received them yet and it has been 4 weeks. Bottom line is that it seems to be possible to order anything on the TSC site through Bloomingdale's and get the sale price. The downside is that you have no idea how long it will take. I think mine may be taking longer than usual because the SA is on vacation. Ordering through a SA by phone, I was only able to get the sale price. I was not able to add a second discount such as the email sign-up code. The extra code worked for me with an online order, though.
