I love the Tiffany beans, but I was wondering if someone could explain the symbolism to me of the bean? I'd love to hear what the bean means to you? :)

To me it means the begining of life and a new start :) I wore the mini Tiffany heart tags with the Tiffany blue my bf got me 2 years ago. Now that I'm in a new stage of my life I felt this necklace could symbolize the place of life I am in now :) my bf got this for me as a just because necklace but it's because we are both older now and is in a new stage of life :) good luck ;)

I love that the bean is symbolic for different reasons for each person. My husband bought me the rose gold bean just before Christmas as I have been looking for a piece of jewellery to commemorate the birth of my son (he's 2 now, but I couldn't find the right thing). So to me, the "origin of life" is his birth and having him come into our lives.
 
Hi Bean lovers!
Does anyone know whether the 9mm bean (current or any earlier versions) have engravings on the back of the pendant itself or is it only on the plates near the clasp?

Also, how accurate and consistent are the actual dimensions of the beans? Could a 9mm bean for instance turn out to be 10mm on measuring with a ruler?
My bean is about 18-19 years old and the back of the bean is engraved.
 
I love the bean! Been eyeing one for awhile. Finally picked up on from eBay. I know it's a more vintage version. But, a little worried about the stamping.

What do you guys think?

Here's my bean from approx 1996-97. I don't know how often they change their stamps but it seems to happen every so often, so because they don't look alike doesn't mean it isn't authentic. I guess you would have to do more research to be certain.

Thank you very much. I figured they probably change the stamp from time to time.
 
I joined the bean club on Saturday! Hubby brought me a 12mm SS bean to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary :-) Love love love it! Do people find that they get minor scratches from your clothes on them?
What's the best way to keep them scratch free?
Just saw there was a platinum and diamond version! Does anyone know if this is still available? TIA x
