So guess what!!!
None of you kow this, but before the price increase at Tiffany's I was trying to decide between two things:
the mini elsa peretti sterling silver bean, or the mini gold elsa peretti heart.
I initially bought the heart, but I was really disappointed in how small it was, and how much it cost for the size, so I returned it and got the 12mm bean which I love.
I was searching around on Ebay, and saw that someone was selling the small size gold heart and chain for $500 or best offer. I decided "what the heck?" and offered them $350 for it. I sincerely doubted that they would accept, because right now, the current price is $775 for the small on a chain.
They accepted the offer!
What stinks is that I am going away on vacation in a couple of days, and it won't be here in time. So I have to wait... They are going to send it to me once I return.
My concern is that it is the mini and not the small. It appears to be the small, since I compared with the measurements they told me with the small that I have in sterling silver.
So now I am dying to know if it is the small or the mini! As soon as I get it, I will know, but until then I won't! They have a two week return policy upon receiving it, so I am also going to take it to Tiffany's to get polished and for them to inspect it, though I am quite sure it is authentic.
Hmm. If I post pics of it here, you folks would be able to tell if it is a small or a mini? Since I already bought it, I guess that's ok, right?

Thank you! I can't wait to "play" with it!

Thanks surfergirljen! Then that means I saved alot!! Woo!

Congrats to you!!! Too cute~

Thank you so much! I can't wait to get it!

I love this one! My faves are the minis so either way i hope you love it!

I think I will love it even if it is a mini, but i have a sneaking suspicion it is a small!
 
Beautiful! Congrats on a great deal!
You know, if this necklace is a little older, it is possible that the "small" size was the smallest heart sold at the time (ie, the mini did not exist yet). Then, when the seller listed it, they got confused on the website and called it "mini" since that is currently the smallest size offered.

oh that is so true! when I was looking online on Ebay, it was confusing, because the Tiffany website doesn't list measurements, only mini, small, medium, and so on, and people selling on Ebay would describe by size measurement!
I have a good feeling it is a small too!
I didn't want to spend alot on a yellow gold piece, because quite honestly I only ever wear white metals. But, I wanted this particular heart in yellow gold because my SO of 6 years has a yellow gold love bracelet, and i have the white gold. I already have a small sterling silver heart, so this would match it. This would also make a good "trial" yellow gold piece for me, since I have noticed that I have started to like a few gold pieces here and there.
