Thanks! I was going back and forth on mixing my yellow with the pink, but I love RG with the pink sapphires. So excited for Wednesday, but I'm going to have to get it extended, so it'll be a little longer.


How exciting!!!!! I have been waiting for this since I received I for about it last Aug!!!!! I can't wait to see your pics Beth! I always have my VCA necklaces extended by 2 inches, what about you?

Right now, I am struggling between getting the necklace or a croc KP (mimosa or rose Scheherazade :love::love::love:) ... Decisions decisions!!! Btw, this collection is not LE right?
 
Oh congrats Beth!!! I was in NYC and saw them Friday! So beautiful and special!



I promised myself I would just look (and promised my friend we'd only be there 5 minutes). As you might guess that didn't go so well.

I ended up buying the Magic size single pendant letterwood necklace. I have to say that I had zero interest in this style when I walked in, but it is incredible on ! I was sold the minute I tried it on. I love how it looks with the chain doubled. Just gorgeous!

I also tried on the small size Lotus earrings and they are really, really nice. I had thought about them before , but had decided I have the pave frivole and wondered if try weren't too similar. IMO after trying them on, I could definitely use both. They are next on my list.

Please pics of the necklace. someone back was not a fan!
I am looking for a necklace and ready to get the Perlee !

I am not going to be receiving the necklace until the end of the week, but will post pictures then.

I didn't think I liked this necklace either, but it took seeing it in person and trying it on to change my mind. I suspect that there will be some others who think it isn't their cup of tea, but I was hooked!

My thoughts:

1) The Magic size pendant is really nice on a long chain. I didn't know how nice it looked until I tried it. The rose gold looks gorgeous.

2) I love how the chain looks doubled. The clover is on this necklace is attached to the chain differently than the normal Magic pendant. When you double the chain, you thread the chain through the clover again. For me, the doubled chain looks very sophisticated


A picture is worth a thousand words...

3) And lastly for me, I was able to get a pendant that looks very spotted (zebra like) and I love that look. My letterwood in my LE necklace looks very different. This picture from the website shows the zebra look on the pendant.

Oh, I love the look of it, they said the bale was cheap in person. I imagine it would look fab with Frivole and Perlee hoops! Dammit, this is back on the list.
 
I understand completely the tug of war between Hermes and jewelry. For what it's worth, buy jewelry. At the end of the day/year, it will be a worn bag. The jewelry is forever.
If you need to you can always sell it, and it will hold it's value. That's not necessarily the case with a used bag, nor is it easy to sell.

Thanks! The thing is that I have had pretty good resale for Hermes bags, can't say the same for signed jewelry even if its Cartier .... I am leaning towards the necklace since it is something I can wear everyday 😍

Hmm..... I didn't notice that. Since I don't have it in hand (darn!), I can't speak to it. I normally don't go in and buy things that I haven't already been thinking about, so I obviously loved the look!

I'll post pics when I get it!
 
The character of the letterwood is gorgeous.
If the new letterwood has MORE character than the LE letterwood I am going to be so :mad because we very sold on the special nature of the aged letterwood.....
