Looks beautiful on you. Thanks for the reply. My Zodiac sign is cancer - I'm not very fond of the crab medal :)

I just got the Cancer and I love it. At first I didn’t think I liked it…. A crab…. But then after looking at them all and seeing it in person, I ended up loving it and think it’s one of the best ones.

I love the trace chain. I wear it with my zodiaque pendant. It is VERY high shine and substantial and by far the best quality chain I’ve ever bought. Here’s a photo of it paired with my frivole pendant.

I love those 2 together. Did you have the trace chain shortened?

In that photo I put the clasp on the second jump ring. It’s nice it gives you that option.

Really? I wear mine on the 2nd jump ring too but it hangs much lower on me. I would never wear it on the longest length. I’m considering shortening it. Thanks for the reply.

Yes so I have a really thick neck lol. And I’m not a small person to begin with. For example I can’t even close the clasp on a stand 16.5” necklace. I have to get them all extended immediately. So necklaces lay on me very differently than most people.

Lol, well they look great on you. I have the single pendant Alhambra and that jump ring is way too tight for me. I got that one extended. Yours look so good.

Hi there! I purchased mine a few months ago for my Ole Lynggaard large elephant pendant with diamonds. It's super sparkly! I didn’t realize the links on the 70 cm necklace were smaller than those on my bracelet before purchasing it. I am satisfied with my purchase and love it. I plan on buying the 45 cm necklace with the Zodiaque medal and lengthening it. I hope that helps!IMG_7829.webp

Very cool pendant! I’ve seen it before, but never figured out the brand name. I heard elephant charms bring good luck.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello, I extended my 70 cm chain by 5cm at VCA directly after the purchase. It was free of charge. I usually wear it double and for this case I use an extender. To avoid that I will damage the original clasp, I have a double clasp extender. Not ideal but it is the best I could do. If by any chance you have a Magic necklace, I would suggest to use that chain. To my humble opinion it is more substantial and obviously longer (90cm). Cheers.

Do you happen to have a long magic pendant? Is it the same as that 90cm chain (aside from length) obviously?

If different, say in thickness, can you take a side-by-side comparison?
