Well, my talon cuff has arrived, finally. Honestly, I don't think I've worked so hard to make a purchase in my life...it has, after all, taken six weeks to get here...and the final delivery was a decidedly inauspicious (somehow when I spend this much on a piece of jewelry I expect something more in the way of packaging than a layer of tissue paper inside a FedEx envelope).
Gripes aside though, it is gorgeous...the gold is brighter than I'd anticipated but I'm assuming that it will dull and mellow with age and wearing. And I do plan on wearing it...everywhere (despite Mr. Heb's assertion that it looks like I'm being attacked by a large bird)...probably with my grandmother's antique signet ring (which seems to be a good pairing, though you can't tell from my awful photographs). | |
I just love it on top of your sweater, because the contrast is really strong. It's perfect for you.
I decided NOT to order from Pamela Love I just felt it was very unprofessional... it does look quite bright in the pictures..mine are most definitely a brass shade.
And yes, mine came in a random box and 'dust-bag' from another brand but I guess the SA just wanted to wrap it in she was so sweet.
thesearch - I know...it took a crazy amount of time considering we're in the same country.
When I saw your comment I actually contacted Pamela to find out why mine was so shiny...she said it will quickly tarnish and become brass-y...I'm relieved, I love it but it is a tad bright.
Happy Thanksgiving!
