@MyDogTink, I'd love to hear your thoughts on your large Sea Star Amulet. :love: Pondering which I'd like to buy, I'm still most drawn to yours. I also love the large Blue Moon amulet. Do you find yours comfortable to wear? I'd likely wear mine on a chain, but perhaps also on a cord. I think you may be the only one here with one of the large, egg shaped amulets. Any thoughts appreciated. :flowers:

Hi! Honestly, I’ve only worn it around the house. I purchased the large for several reasons:
- I have the medium vine amulet and the small owl amulet. So I figured if I was adding a third, I should diversify and go with the large.
- when I purchased mine in February, the website said to contact TSC for the medium size. The rep at Bloomingdale’s said she wasn’t making the medium because the detail didn’t show up. I asked if I could SO and the answer was no. I think I recently saw her website had the medium available.
- to add to the above, I did agree that the large was needed to appreciate the detail and fine work.

I was hesitant to go with the large because I didn’t want it to be too ostentatious with her chain. The people I work with dress casually and aren’t into jewelry, clothes or bags; they spend their money on vacations, vacation homes and stuff like that. The rep suggested the blue leather cord and I was sold! The color of the cord complements the blue sapphire and moonstone. It also looks beautiful on her chain. In fact, I love the model wearing it on a short, thick chain on the website.

which is the large blue moon amulet?
The website nor my pictures does justice for the sea star amulet. When I got to the counter that day, the amulets were on a jewelry valet. It just popped. The rings popped, too. One prettier than the next.

I hope that helps and I can’t wait to follow your journey on your decision!!

Hi, many thanks for your detailed reply, so helpful! :flowers: I love the pieces you've chosen, we have very similar taste. For small, medium, and large amulets, I'd likely choose the same ones, and so fun to have one of each size. So, I say yes to diversification! :biggrin:

Ah, so interesting about the medium Sea Star amulet. I've considered that one too, but also was concerned it might be a less ideal size for the design. So, I'd come to the same conclusion that I'd likely prefer the large.

Regarding the leather cords, the blue one does look beautiful with the amulet. It so nicely complements the stone colors.

So fun to hear the amulet is even more gorgeous in person. I think it's hard to capture the beauty of moonstones in photos, and the starfish design is so beautiful and creative. I've been enamored with it for quite a while! The other I'm considering is the large Blue Moon amulet, link below. It's a more spare, simple design, but I also love it. But, I think for the large size I may prefer more detail. Ideally, I'll be able see both together to decide.

Yes, now I know the large blue moon amulet. For me, I like the detail of her work. It doesn’t have to be the sea star amulet. The bee hive and vine are beautiful in the large. The rep had another one that day. I believe it was a serpent with sapphire, diamond and green tsavorite. The plain large amulets just looked large to me. The large with detailed work doesn’t look too large. Not sure that makes sense but I think when you see a few of them together you’ll get the idea.

Thanks so much, I do see what you mean. I had the same thoughts, that a large amulet with more blank space may feel bigger than a large one with more applied detail. :flowers:

I'd been hoping to find another pair of earrings to wear with my starfish pendent. I just realized my new Yoga Hoops look nice with it! :woot: Little discoveries like this are making me happy, lately. :biggrin: I find it hard to capture the blue flash of moonstone in photos!

They certainly do go well with it! I feel like my little hoops will also go with most other TSC pieces, too! It's nice to have that versatility!
