I have the plain platinum bean with no diamonds.. I polish it once a week with a cloth and it removes minor scratches... My bean is from 2009.

Hello bean lovers!
My DH bought me the mini rose gold bean on our wedding day and I am very sad to say that it was packed away while we had building work done and I now can't find it. I really hope that it will turn up but it will be a while until our house is back to normal and until then I am just so worried.
I had a look on ebay, and in haste bought this large vintage yellow gold bean. It was a good price (assuming it's real) and it arrived today. As it's vintage I'm not totally sure what the markings should look like so I'm hoping fellow owners could take a look and let me know what you think. I did post in Authenticate but the traffic seems quite low at the moment.
Thank you so much!

Greetings, all!
I own a 18 mm bean that I received as a gift in 2002 or 2003 from my now-husband. Shortly after receiving my bean I had the original 16" chain (the 18 mm beans came on 16" chains back then) shortened to 14" so I could wear the bean nestled above the necklines of the conservative businesswear I wore to work. My career and attire have changed since then and I now find the 14" length fairly constricting, so I use a necklace extender to vary the length of my bean, but usually wear it around 15" or so. Picture of the length and the back of the bean are below.
On to my question. I am in the process of deciding between purchasing a 9 mm or 12 mm bean to layer with my 18 mm bean and also to wear by itself. I recently said goodbye to my 17 year-old-cat earlier this summer. She loved to play with jelly beans as a kitten so her nickname was "Beans." I was looking for a special way to remember her, and what better way than with a piece of Tiffany?
I searched this thread for pictures to help guide my decision, but would be grateful for other opinions based on your experience with your beans. Thank you in advance!

DH brought me a 12mm SS bean for our recent wedding anniversary, am really enjoying wearing the bean at that size. I had a v.hard time choosing between 9 and 12mm. As I'm nearly 5'10 found the 12mm stood out a little bit more. DH preferred that size. I tend to wear it alone but also planning to layer it with longer necklaces. Both are beautiful, would say the 12mm has a little more 'weight' to it which I really liked. HTH
I am SO loathe to say this, but it looks a bit fishy to me... Doesn't Tiffany use the 750 stamp to indicate it is 18k? I don't recall them ever using the 18k... Can someone chime in on this?
Does anyone layer two beans of different metals? Or layer a rose gold bean with a white metal?
I was given a gift card for Portero and the only thing I could find that I loved was a rose gold 9mm bean. I had just enough left on the gift card to snag an 18mm silver bean (it was the only thing on Portero under $150
).
I haven't worn Tiffany in a long time - for necklaces if I wear anything I usually wear some kind of silver pendant from Etsy on a chain (I have a diamond/sterling shark's tooth, a silver dart, a paper plane - you get the idea, something different). I don't own ANY rose gold (although I love it) except an Hermès ring that I wear almost every day as a right hand ring.
So...I am wondering if I can wear the two beans together? Or if I can layer the rose gold one with any silver necklace? Your sage advice (and maybe mod shots?) is/are deeply deeply appreciated!!

Omg the platinum and diamond bean still exists!! I tried it on in Tiffany on 5th Avenue in NYC yesterday. It's so sparkley! Sadly at $5000 its a little over budget right now. Half carat diamond weight, so beautiful.

I think RG and WG look great layered together, not sure about two beans together, would have to see how they look.
Good to know, I have been deciding between the diamond and platinum bean and the DBTY necklace.
I have a bean on the wire necklace that is probably over ten years old. It is pretty tarnished so I am going to get it polished then I will start wearing it again especially since my DD is eyeing it. Do they still make the wire necklace with the bean?
