It is a great piece. I would add the bracelet as it will give double duty and can be layered with your bracelets or to lengthen the necklace. It wears so well on you ladies that I now have added to my list to try as well.
That’s exactly what I was thinking too @missie1 Omg I can’t say enough good things about this necklace! I honestly haven’t stopped wearing it ever since I got it. I can’t wait for you to get it too:heart:
I actually tried this, because I assumed that it would be so much more useful and easy to wear with the added length. I purchased the 6 motif RG to try out the extra length first, before making any changes to the sweet 16 necklace. Surprisingly; I did not care for it! With the delicate motifs, it actually looks better double wrapped at chocker length. It is hard to explain, but it looks a little unwieldy at the 16+6 length, at least on me it keeps settling to one strand at a chocker length and the other strand lower, instead of both strands staying a bit lower, which is what I had been aiming for. The two strands also wrapped around/over each other a lot, getting the motifs jumbled up and tangled. I hate unclasping, but for me it was enough of a "no" that my sister now has the 6 motif because I will not be wearing it this way at all. The advantage of the 16 is the simple elegance and carefree nature, and it loses this when it becomes longer and tangled. I think you could add a short amount to the length and be ok, but probably not enough to eliminate the need to unclasp.
@nicole0612 Gosh this is super helpful so thank you so much for sharing your experience:hugs:I am definitely going to add a little length to the necklace and leave it at that. I love the way it doubles up right now and it’s length when I wear it single strand. I know the overlap would bother me.

You are so welcome! I was really surprised! I am looking forward to your review once you have a little length added to the 16. That might be the perfect length.

I’m curious, why you don’t have an access? No H store in your area?

Hopefully you’ll get your dream bag someday. I’ll advise on getting it from a trusted H reseller if you don’t have an access to H stores:-)

Thank you for your good wishes Dear Lynnsluxecloset. I live between Paris, Cannes and Montreal. I have access to Hermès boutiques but impossible obten Kelly or Birkin bag. I bought some on Vestiaire Collective just to have Hermes bag.
