The Tiffany Elsa Peretti Bean Thread

I have a tiny bean that was a gift from 6 years back, and wore it daily (to shower and all) for a few years. I often layered it with longer, chunkier necklaces (which I love more to be honest) and it's always weirdly hanging there.

Now I have put it away, I feel like selling it but it feels like something I might pick up again? Whenever I keep it in storage the sterling silver darkens very quickly and I never did pick up a cleaning cloth (which does not work much anyway).

It's surprisingly hardy because the chain broke only once in the many years of daily wear I have put it through.
 
Sorry if this is already explained somewhere, but what's the history of theBean? How long has it been made? Was it exclusively for Tiffany? I'm so over the moon about getting mine, I'd like to know its story.:)
 
Thanks Caz71. I wonder what year the bean was first introduced? I seem to remember it a loooong time ago, like the 80's.

It wouldnt surprise me from the 80s haha.

I have only been into Tiffany for about two years now so no idea when it originated. Id luv to be able to afford the gold ones. they are lovely too.
 
The bean is so tiny! I had a silver one in the 80s with matching earrings, and it's so small I can't find it. I tend to discard boxes because they take up too much room.

I know I haven't lost it outside the house, or sold it - but I've been looking through my stuff trying to locate it, and it's so frustrating that I can't. I need to send up a quick request to St Anthony!
