Thanks for your responses everybody! It just seems weird to me. I called customer service and they were nice but not exactly reassuring. She told me that sometimes they change the designs from year to year and that she was fairly sure that it was authentic but she wasn't able to pull up a picture of it that didn't have a hallmark even though they usually are marked. One way or another I took it back to a Tiffany store and they are going to send me a brand new one because the clasp was broken either way and I shouldn't have to wait for a repair on something that was supposed to look brand new. It was a good thing the SA knew me because she definately gave the necklace I brought in a good long look until I told her what customer service told me. I can imagine that it all looked very suspicious to them but no one indicated that they thought so. I hope either way that the one hey sende is marked but if it isn't at least I'll know it wasn't a fluke.

I'm a little confused about the sizes... people keep referring to the "mini". The website lists both a 9mm and a 12mm. Is the 12mm the "mini"? 12mm = 0.4" wide. What is the 9mm then? A newer size? An even mini-er mini??? ;)
Thanks for the help!

I was confused about this too. I just bought the 12mm one because I liked how it looked on. The receipt says "mini". it is so small (but perfect) I can't imagine getting the 9mm. By the way the one I just received directly from tiffanys was not marked on the back of the bean like older editions are. Just thought I'd answer my old question since now I know the answer.

Great! Thanks for the info! I'd like to buy one for my girlfriend but I was a little confused about the sizes. I think the 12mm "mini" will be just right.
Thanks again!

need your help!
I just bought a 9mm(extra mini?) bean pendant as a V-day gift for my girl from tiffany official website, and it only has hall mark on the clasp with a tag said it is "made expressly for tiffany co. in Spain".I saw the previous message on this forum said that it should has hallmark on the back of the little bean, so Im worried about if it is a authentic one.
Somebody can help with this?
Thanks in advance!

So is the 12mm considered mini? I'm still confused...

I didn't try on the 9mm but I tried on the 12mm, and that seemed like the perfect size for me... does anyone have pics of the 9mm?

Jeneen,

I asked sale assistant and she said the 9mm bean is a new design,which means 12mm should be considered as mini previously.

If we still call 12mm as mini, I agree that we can call 9mm "extra mini":smile1:
