I loved seeing the Tree of Life pieces from a decade or so ago, @etoile de mer ! That dragonfly pendant is really beautiful! I've seen some pieces from that collection for sale pre-loved, but not the dragonfly. I really love that she brings back pieces and sometimes changes details such as the chains in the case of the lion bracelet! One of the many reasons I love her jewelry is because it truly is timeless!

I am so happy you got the long classic oval chain! I am sure you can guess that I love it! It definitely is significant enough to wear alone! But I have a feeling you'll find the perfect amulet or pendant that you love to wear on the chain just as I did!

@DS2006, so glad you enjoyed seeing the Tree of Life pieces! Yes, fun to see how previous pieces are redesigned and how she reuses various building blocks of her designs. Her pieces feel timeless to me, too. :smile:

I know we both dithered about which chain to get! Like you, I decided the Classic Oval would be the most versatile for me. Plus, I've loved it for so long! So glad you love yours, too. I'm looking forward to adding an amulet and/or pendant!

Bloomingdales now has a couple of the items above on their site. In addition, they have an exclusive large amulet for their 150th anniversary. They also have a gift card sale that is over 25% when you spend just enough to reach a level. $4000+ with a $1200 card is the highest.

It has been too quiet, so thank you for sharing pics of your beautiful pieces!!! :loveeyes: I am hoping for a fall F&F sale and probably will get earrings as a belated bd gift! Don't you also have the triple bezel moonstone and diamond earrings? I had forgotten that you had the classic oval ones...so pretty! The hoops are great with everything! I just love how her pieces can be worn with multiple things.

We do need to keep this thread going. I love it that we can share our mutual love for TSC jewelry!

So happy we can share our love of her designs, here! :flowers: Even though her pieces are offered in many more places now, and she's been designing for many years, it still feels like a niche brand. So, it's always wonderful to connect with fellow fans! I look forward to seeing which earrings you choose. If your b-day was recent, Happy Belated Birthday!

Yes, I have a pair of her moonstone Trio earrings. I do love them! I usually prefer drop earrings, but they are so unique, and they coordinate so well with her other moonstone pieces (which i hope to have more of). I've been spacing out my purchases, but hopefully next for me will be a large amulet!

@etoile de mer , you may have an opinion on this since you have the sea star as well as two pair of moonstone earrings! I am having a lot of trouble deciding on earrings for my sea star when I can't see them together! I lean towards drop earrings, but maybe the trio earrings match better? All the ones I am considering are trio, classic oval, moon drop, and pear drop. I don't want the earrings to overwhelm the pendant, obviously. I decided to post this here just in case someone in the future is trying to match earrings! Here is the pendant and then I am posting the earrings. All opinions are welcome!
(And I think I do not want the gold starfish the model has on in the first picture.)

Ugh...sorry the earring pics are so huge! If I make them thumbnail, then you can't see them without enlarging!

@DS2006, I had the same issue in trying to decide which moonstone earrings to wear with my small starfish! Like you, I wanted to get the scale of the earrings right, as to not overwhelm the pendant.

I decided of the TSC earrings I currently have, the pairing I like best is with my small Yoga Hoops. I love my other moonstone earrings, but neither feels quite right with the Sea Star. The small Classic Ovals feel a bit too big, and the Trio, while smaller in scale, have a big, sort of fancy presence in person. I did try the moonstone Piccolo earrings a while back, but was underwhelmed. They were very small, and the pair I received had very little adularescence. I think maybe the Yoga Hoops feel best to me due to their narrow profile (seen straight on), and the gold granulation which I think complements that on the Sea Star. They also feel a bit more casual.

I love the other two you posted, but have not seen in person. The Pear Drops look to have larger moonstones than the small Classic Ovals. And, I'm wondering if the Moon Drops would also feel too large in scale?

All of this is so personal, though! I took a pic of my earrings with my starfish. I thought putting them all together in one photo might be helpful for you. I also took some pics with each pair directly next to the starfish. I hope this helps!

If I'm in doubt about what might pair best with something, I tend to order a few options. Not being able to see various options in person is such a bother, isn't it? I often know within moments of seeing something if it's for me, and I hate all the back and forth of buying online.

Let me know if I can help in any other way! :flowers:

@etoile de mer Thank you SO much! :hugs: You know, we surely do think alike! I was concerned about scale on all of the earrings with the sea star. Your validation that your Yoga hoops work best REALLY helps me a lot! I have the small Hellenistic hoops which also have granulation, so they actually should go with anything I have! So maybe I won't try to make one of these moonstone earrings work with the pendant, as I am sure we both want the Sea Star to stand out! I think I'll move on to other earring styles. The Yoga hoops now come in two sizes, so I could potentially add one of those at some point (in a different size than my current ones). You are right that ordering multiples may be necessary at times. I am just watching for the fall F&F sales to try to pick up a couple of small items for birthday and Christmas. Thanks again!
