So, I'm looking at Elsa Peretti for a gift and I was going to go with one of the pendants + the platinum chain (which is backordered). Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy the pendant from them and the chain elsewhere? Does VCA do any cute, smaller necklaces for less than 600 dollars?

Thanks.

I have several pieces by Elsa Peretti. Some of the chains actually do not slide out from the pendants, so you would have to buy it together.

I don't think Tiffany's sells the pendants separately from the pendant. I've had to buy pendants and then extend the chain from 16" to 18" for a small cost.

Does the chain come off easily from the particular pendant that you wish to buy? Is it the heart pendant?

Remember that the chains always have a small tag that says Tiffany on it.

Here is the charm - http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...-s+5-r+101424820+101323357-t+-ri+-ni+0-x+-pu+

It appears to be able to be purchased individually.

It's a value issue, really. Why pay 325 dollars for a platinum chain when they can be purchased much cheaper? There are no design elements that I'm missing, are there (besides the T&Co. inscription)? I really like the pendant and I think she will too but again, I could buy another gift with the money I save from going with a chain from someone else. Is that reasonable?

No one mentioned VCA - not an option?

I think VCA has some beautiful Alhambra pieces that you may consider if you are willing to increase your price range a bit. Last month VCA just had a price increase, so you should go their website and make a price inquiry. I think the only pieces that are near your price range are the Sweet Alhambra pieces. You might as well check out the prices from VCA before you rule anything out. I would be so estatic if I received a Tiffany's (gold) or VCA piece.

Happy gift giving,
Diana
