Question - I've been wanting a bean necklace for a long time. I was able to visit a Tiffany store last weekend and purchased a sterling silver, 14mm bean necklace. When I looked at it when I got home, I noticed that there are no hallmarks on the back of the bean. Only the chain has the hallmarks. Is that typical? When I read through all of the posts on this thread, it looks like the other beans have hallmarks on the back of the bean itself. I know this is authentic since I purchased it directly from the store. Just wondering if/when this changed.

Mine isn't hallmarked and I bought it earlier this year. I think it changed a while ago? Not sure.

I thought I would add these photos I took modeling my 12mm Bean Earrings for reference here since I had a very hard time finding any modeling photos.
The classic bean earrings are mirror images of each other so each one gives a bit of a different look when worn in either your right or left ear. Also, you can rotate them to complement your ear shape best or for different looks. s-l1600.jpg

Hi everyone! I'm looking to purchase the bean for the first time, since I've noticed Kate McKinnon (from Saturday Night Live) wearing it a lot, and it's so cute. I really want her exact one, could anyone help me determine which one it is? In some pictures it looks like the 9mm, in others 12mm. Also I think her chain is lengthened to 18" but could also be 20"!

Here are some pictures and videos where she's wearing it. You can see how different angles make it look smaller or bigger, but there's also the possibility that she has two, though I doubt it...also I think the videos might be more helpful because you see it in 'action' so to speak.

My nearest Tiffany & Co. store is a while away, so ordering from the website is my preferred option at the moment. Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance :smile:

Hard to tell! To me it looks bigger than the 9mm but not as big as mine which is a 16mm so yeah I'd say 12. I don't think she has had the chain extended at all. I've had mine extended to 20inch and I have a verrrryyy chubby neck and mine sits much lower than hers.

*I meant to quote the post above! Forum newbie here xD*

Thanks for replying! I've looked at some more photos and she sometimes wears them facing different sides which makes it look smaller/bigger. Also some photos date back a while so I'm thinking it's the 12mm, but the older one before it was redesigned?

I definitely think it's extended because I have a lot of 16" necklaces and none of the charms on them drag it down as much as hers seems to (unless the bean is heavier than I think!). I'm leaning towards least 18". Regardless, thanks for your input! :smile:

Seems ridiculous that I'm trying to get a celebrity's exact one but truthfully I just really like how it sits! Does anyone have a second opinion? I'm still indecisive, haha.

Does she have a twitter account or something? I wonder if you could just ask her?!?!

Sadly, she's not on any social media! Ah it's okay, I guess I'll have to plan a trip to the store one time. I tried, haha.

Hey guys! Does anyone have a photo of the 12mm and 14mm together on one neck (or two different photos, but same neck model)? I know it's random for someone to buy both but I just got back from the store and they didn't have the 14mm and even though I did like the 12mm after trying it, I'm not sure it looked noticeable enough. I'm so indecisive ahh...
