Thoughts on Ippolita's 18K long necklaces?

[okthen]

Calling owners of Ippolita 18k long necklaces -- help needed!

• Would you be kind enough to share mod shots please! I am craving a sautoir that doesn't cost a bomb - No luck on PurseForum, Youtube, and even Google search.
• How much wear do you get out of it?
• What do you usually pair it with (outfits)?
• How has the wear and tear on the stones and setting been over the years?
• If you could go back in time, would you still buy it?
• Lastly what do you think of this for workwear -https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/ippolita-18k-yellow-gold-polished-rock-candy-black-shell-mini-pear-station-necklace-18?ID=3525678

Thanks

In short… beautiful and massively overpriced.

Really expensive for what it is.

I had a pair of Ippolita mother of pearl drop earrings. The build was fine, but nothing to write home about.

I think you could find a black mabe station necklace for much less. I purchased the earrings second hand that I had.

Kind of similar feel:

Ikr, their prices are too high

And probably so because they think many people going to Ippolita actually wanted a VCA 20 motif (well, at least I did!) and then it feels cheap.

I am trying to go the reseller route!
