Cute!!
A very long time ago, a friend's parents purchased the Tiffany sterling silver Bean necklace for my 16th birthday. Sadly, I didn't love it back then because it seemed like a bulky piece of jewelry and it felt like it hung oddly around my neck. I ended up selling it and purchasing a different piece of jewelry.
Now, many years later, I think that the bean is adorable and I consider making a purchase. However, I remain on the fence because I'm nowhere near a Tiffany & Co. store and wouldn't be able to try on the Bean before purchasing... and, being lazy, I'd rather not risk ordering it online / not liking it / going through the hassle of returning it.
Still.. the Bean necklace and matching Bean earrings would be very cute!

Yesss. I used to think "why are people so obsessed with a bean?" And then I learned the meaning and have been lemming ever since haha.
I love the meaning too! My fiance gave me the black jade necklace as a gift to me a few weeks before our wedding, then gave me the ss earrings as a wedding gift. I love how it represents the beginning...so appropriate for starting a marriage. Then I found the bean bracelet a few days ago at a jewelry store...I've been wearing all 3. Is that a bit much?
PeacefulMommy said:What *IS* the meaning behind the bean? (Sorry if it was posted here, but I've skimmed through all of the pages and might have missed it while not "reading" thoroughly...)
I'm debating on whether to purchase the Bean or a Tiffany Key (after I finally purchase my DBTY stud earrings, of course!).
PeacefulMommy said:Hmm... interesting. Thank you!!
So now I get to decide which I would like to purchase... A bean to represent the new beginnings in my life, or a key to represent that I hold the key to my own happiness? (I was just divorced, so looking for a necklace to symbolize a fresh, new start without a lying, cheating, good-for-nothing husband who only used me for a green card.)
