I did get it! Went to Tiffany to buy our wedding bands and gifts for the bridal party. I was just going to get the 9mm bean but when I tried it on, fiancé said it looked so small. The 12mm one looked so nice but then he saw the jade bean and wanted me to try that one on. That one was beautiful!! Fiancé ended up buying it for me...which is a really nice gift because we're getting married in 2 1/2 weeks and something happened recently that made me almost call off the wedding. Still working things out but this is a nice little reminder that we are heading towards a new beginning for both of us.

Edit: oops I don't know how to take out the second pic. Sorry!

So pretty! I'm pretty sure jade is associated attraction of love. According to the Chinese, who are wise because the old men in the period drama shows have long flowing white beards and eyebrows. In any case, it definitely has great meaning!


So want to get a bean necklace. It was the Shopaholic series (Becky Bloomwood!) that got me started on Tiffany, in particular the bean necklace. Remember how she bought one for her sister in the books?

Will have to go into a store to check out the sizes though. I gave myself a headache when I cut out bean shaped papers that were approx. 9mm, 12mm.etc and stuck them on my chest to judge. Kept squinting and trying to gauge just how visible they'd be :rolleyes:

There's several reference photos in this thread! I think the 9mm is perfect for layering and to be worn alone, I probably would have preferred a 12mm on an 18 inch chain if I did it again (if all goes according to plan I'll have that diamond bean on an 18 inch chain in a short while!)

Does the 9mm come on an 18" chain? Can't find it on the website and i decided to just order online since the beans are not available in Tiffany stores here (i'm from outside the US)

Hmmmm I'm wondering if I should have gotten the bigger jade bean. On our way to the flag shift store on 5th ave to get my ering resized. What do you guys think? I have the 12mm bean.

Go with whatever one speaks to you! Could you do me a huge favor and ask them if the diamond bean is 9mm or 12mm? And if they have it, if it's just as stunning in person?

I know that's a lot to ask but I would be over the moon if you could do that! And if not, no worries! :)

I decided to stay with my 12mm. The 20mm looked too big on me. I have to go back later on to pick up my e-ring, I'll ask them for you...curious to see what it looks like too. I'll post a pic if they let me take a picture of it.

They didn't have any in the store so I couldn't look at it. Booo. The lady told me it is 9mm though. Hope that helps!

Damn! I was really hoping it was the 12mm. I know I just need to make the trip and go look for myself but I'll either end up hating it or falling completely in love with it. I don't have the money to buy it yet if the latter happens. :/
