Anyone else having trouble with Onyx FN?

Thank you Madelon! There are only two options: 1) I find the perfect one soon or 2) I will swap my FN-pendants. We'll see which one will come true.

Have a nice weekend!

I'm a little bit relieved that yours messed up too - I felt a little bit stupid going to my LD to tell the FN messes up constantly.
I already pondered about buying a FN with labradorite myself when I saw your pic of the FN with the Teaparty on top (and azure bubbles between them?). I hope it was yours Anyway, it was absolutely gorgeous

I had ordered it on line and couldn't be bothered to send it back, so I filed the bump down...

I thought about that too, but decided not to do it, since I expect a EUR 150,00 FN not to be scratchy.

Well, meanwhile, after having given the 3rd FN yesterday back, I think it would have been best to file the bump down since the FN was -apart from the bump- perfect. But, well, hindsight is easier than foresight.

An onyx FN with a German clover on it... **sigh** I will dream about that tonight
REALLY!?!?!?!? You found the German clover for the normal retail price!!!! Thank you for giving me hope!

But the point is: some people don't care. I was constantly re-arranging it, and feeling with my hands how/if it twisted. It made me crazy. I made beautiful pics of my TB-FN, but never while wearing it, just a drapery on a table :-) But a necklace is for wearing not just for beautiful pics on the table.

Now I wear my FB-FN long. The chain is different, i like it a lot better. Yes, I have worn it with the teaparty on top, you remember that right :-)

I didn't wear it with a splitter - tried it with the zucchini flower but it became too tight for my neck. I hate it twisted because I love playing with the FN while wearing. I lift the lower end holding the onyx so that the beads slide towards my throat and then put the lower end again down - it is fun to feel the beads slide down "on their own" - sometimes all at the same time, sometimes one after the other. You see, that's why I hate it so much when it gets all messed up - it steals away my happy FN-play

With TB I have learned not look constantly if the beads are sitting right, there are so many designs that are beautiful but rubbish to wear, last example the messenger bead.

I can't stand the FN "messy" since I always enjoy playing with the FN and the beads

Oh!, the messenger! I see. I thought about getting it sometime for the bangle. I expect him to "cause" the same problem as the rose pendant.

Thank you
I was in love with the first one, wore it all day long, even at the office, 8 hours a day... Well, it was scratchy... Perfect is the enemy of good

Madelonnetje wrote:pm'ed you, hope it will help you find ur clover

I can't answer PMs yet

Thank you for the tip, I will call them tomorrow, who knows, may there is one waiting for me

The 2 LDs which I visited last week for the first time had both the book, but the bead was gone But I'm sure "my German clover" is waiting somewhere for me.

Anyway, you are very lucky to have got it for the normal retail price!
