It looks perfect! I love it at that length and size on you. I know what you mean about changing your mind a lot. I am like that too. I have to wear something for a little while to really decide. I actually ended up making a lot of returns recently (luckily I have a SA who knows me well and is very patient. I originally had a rubedo ring which I exchanged for a rubedo necklace which I exchanged for (finally) a gold pendant. I'm happy now but I wasn't originally. I think a lot of my issues stem from having to make a decision while people are staring at you and in unnatural jewelry store lighting. In the end It isn't worth it to be unhappy with such a big purchase. They have always been nothing but helpful to me.

Knowing that it is a big purchase definitely affects my ultimate decision. I was able to make a good decision today and I am happier with the larger bean. I have to say that the larger bean suited me. They sell the 20mm black jade on a 16" chain, and the 20mm sterling silver on an 18" chain. I might have to move my ss bean back to 16".
Sitting in the back with no other distractions helped a lot.
So what did you end up getting that is gold? I am curious! :)

I got a YG open heart necklace. I posted pics of it in the thread I linked below. I wouldn't dare post it in this bean thread. :) i love all the Elsa Peretti designs. I wish she'd come out with something new.

Thank you so much!
One thing I have learned is this: When people compliment me on something, keep wearing it. I was wearing my black bean at work today, and a customer complimented me on it! I never got that with my silver bean!
And the second thing I learned is: if I get three compliments, then I should wear it ALOT lol!
One down, two to go!

Ok here's my bean with my two CZ by the yards.

The first one is the smaller one from Berricle/New Outlet.

The second is an old-style QVC one.

I am trying to figure something out and if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.
My SO bought me a used 20mm sterling silver bean and it was on a 16 inch chain. I got it shortened, but I went way too short and now I am rethinking the length.
I looked online at the Tiffany website and it showed the 20mm bean on an 18 chain.
My bean is pretty old; not sure how old, but I was wondering if the 20mm bean always come on an 18 chain? Or did it used to come on a 16 inch chain? If anyone knows I am dying to know.

I took my 20mm silver bean in to get lengthened to 18 inches. I found that I really liked the longer length better. I am still loving my 20mm black jade too! Glad I went with the larger sizes. My friend that works at Tiffany's has a 20mm silver bean as well, but hers is a newer bean and has a different shape. We put them together, and it's funny; when I look at hers, it appears to be SO different from mine, but side by side they don't look so diffferent. However, I do think hers looks more like a bean and mine is more abstract. Next time I will do a side by side pic!
