Can any of you bean experts tell which size this is based on the photo? :) It's so hard to tell, and most secondhand sellers don't know what size they have! Thank you!

This looks like the 18mm or 20mm to me!
 
They are out off stock online, so dissapointed :(

Call the customer service.
I know they can move the item from other "locations" in Europe
and the earrings are available in Germany.
I gave them a call because I was interested in the bunny charm,
which is not on the website yet.
I was able to buy the bunny charm, even it is not officially in
Europe available and it was delivered after 4 days.
Just because I ordered by phone.

BTW I love your Bean Collection :girlsigh:
 
hooray, I got my bean (and my very first Tiffany piece!). according to the ebay seller I got it from, this is the 14mm? slightly bigger than I was expecting, but I love it. thought I'd need to get it lengthened, but the 16" is perfect. (please excuse the semi-messy hair, it is insanely windy here today!)

What a bean :faint::D
It looks more like 18mm or even bigger to me.
But.....I have to admit, I like the size on you.
It looks great !:cool:

Very nice. I agree it looks bigger. I have a 20mm and it looks closer to my size. I agree the 16" hangs nicely on you. Congratulations! :smile1:

you ladies are right, it definitely looks more like the 18mm based on what I can find googling for photos. I guess that means I got an even better deal than I thought :laugh: but I love this size on me, great for everyday but also makes a little bit of a statement. very happy with it, and already got multiple compliments today!

I am glad this thread is still active.
I wonder if there is any trick to get a bean in good condition (meaning brand new). I ordered one in 12mm gold last December and was super disappointed that the one I received looked used: it had a pretty obvious dent in the front, and multiple scratches. With 1,200 plus tax that is not acceptable, not to mention the box looked dusty and worn. I returned that for a 12mm silver, and still I could see scratches on the surface of the bean, though much less obvious. I don't think a brand new product should look that way: I ordered two eternal circles in sterling silver in 2014 and both were in perfect condition.

I just don't know if a re-order would guarantee a better bean, and am afraid that Tiffany would think I am abusing their return policies. I want to mention right after I placed the gold bean in 12mm order, I got a notice that the product was out of stock, but it was shipped four to five days later to me. So it was probably something returned by another customer who had some significant use of the product before returning. It is quite frustrating.

Are you able to visit a store?
 
I live in a small town and I think the closest shop is more than 3 hours away. I will be in Seattle in March so I guess I can visit the store there. I was hoping items shipped from the storage would be more likely to be "brand new" than the ones that have been inspected and touched by many customers in a store, but well... you cannot tell.
