I'm not sure but there's only one size that comes with the yellow diamonds. Maybe a size small?
Hi Everyone,
I know this thread is super old and so maybe this fact answersmy question, but I’m wondering how everyone feels about these necklaces now?
I currently own one: the small sterling silver on a 16 in.chain that my high school sweetheart gave to me for a Valentine’s Day togetherback in 2005. I loved it then and wore it all the time. When we broke up, Inever put it on again and have no future plans to. This is mostly because I’m very sentimental but also because as a lot of people have pointed outpreviously that this is kind of tired.
Now, even though I just called my necklace tired, let medisclose that I think I’m more sensitive to the fact that it is played outbecause I was “that age” at the height of Tiffany’s sterling silver popularityand all the girls had to have it.
However, now that I have aged I have not gotten over my loveof Tiffany but have since moved on to their yellow gold, diamonds, etc. and nowhave a thought: I am feeling that since sometime has passed and now that this design is no longer super trendy, a YGversion to me now seems like it has moved into the “classic” category. Anyone else’s thoughts on this?

I have owned the mini open heart pendant in rose gold for several years (I alternate it between an Elsa Peretti Rose gold 16' chain and a Platinum Elsa Peretti 18' chain). I still wear this pendant on a regular basis and enjoy doing so. I think it is a modern classic, that works with my Omega and my Platinum and Diamond jewellery. I don't tend to be trend driven when it comes to my jewelley and I love Elsa Peretti's organic designs.. xx
Just curious... The Elsa Peretti Open Heart pictured is probably the Small size (16mm) and NOT the Mini size (11mm), correct?
Also... Would you guess that it's worn on a 16" or 18" chain in the picture?
I ask because I like the way it looks on her... It makes me want one!

I think you should "recycle" your pendant and wear it! I have a pair of hearts that I wear on a cord: the small silver with the YG mini. It's a really nice necklace, it's not as common, so I don't feel like I'm wearing the same as everybody else.
You'd get that look by buying the mini heart only

I love this idea. May I ask where you got your cord and does it have a clasp on the back or did you just make it adjustable with knots? Thanks!
We got it like that in Tiffany. The cord is actually pretty difficult to close (it's a knot and a loop). one day I'll grow tired of it and buy myself a new cord
I don't normally wear silver, but while my son and I were at the Lego store we happened to venture into the Tiffany & Co. at the end of the hall and... well...
I HAD to. It was calling to me from the case. And the sales woman convinced me to "just try it on"... Yeah, we all know there's no such thing... But the real selling point is when I put it on, turned to my four year old son, and he gasped and told me that he loved it. Well, then I just had to buy it!!
So I now own the Elsa Peretti Small Open Heart in silver on an 18" chain.
