Today introducing another new member to the MaiTai Collection, a long
gemstone necklace made of genuine semi-precious stones. It adds easy
and elegant chic to simple and casual outfits, and dresses up
effortlessly a day look for an evening.
The necklaces
are hand strung and knotted, and consist of genuine facetted garnet and
smooth amazonite beads, as well as smooth and carved jade (turquoise and
vieux d'or) and agate (plum and hot pink) accent beads. The facetted
surfaces catch and reflect beautifully the light, adding a discreet
sparkle to the ethnic chic carved
jade and playful tassles.
The tassle part (tassle plus
hand carved jade with a flower motif) is detachable, so you can attach
your own favorite charm, or combine the tassle with other necklaces.

Love it! Just the sort of thing I'd wear x
ReplyDeleteMany thanks! xx
DeleteHello Mai Tai,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful necklaces! Could you please tell me the name of the scarf in the close-up of the Vieux d'Or colorway? I love the combination of black and brown. Thank you!
The name of the scarf is 'Monsieur et Madame', but it's from a few years ago.
DeleteOh my gosh, these necklaces are spectacular. I think this is your finest hour to date! I just love them. They'll add just the perfect out-of-the-ordinary, exotic flare to one's wardrobe. As much as I love my scarves and shawls, I have to admit that I sometimes get a bit tired of them, and these necklaces will be the perfect accent to "wake them up" for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteTrudye, I think this means another pillage of the scarf drawers tonight to decide on the perfect color, or I guess I should say colors. I know I want more than one.
And, did I read the price right, 149 euro? I had to look again to make sure, as something of this quality would sell in Saks or Neiman-Marcus here in the States for $1,500 at least.
Oh, Merry Christmas to me!
You are truly wonderful, ma chere,
Jerrine
Jerrine, it is a good price, isn't it, even after translating euros to dollars. The plum really speaks to me - hoping it will arrive in time for holiday wear. What color are you going to order first?
DeleteWarm aloha,
Fifi
Hi Fifi, dear. I see that you've recovered from your nasty cold in time to get right on this latest, particularly fabulous offering. Good for you!
DeleteYes, I think the price is incredible for this quality even after the nasty exchange rate translation. And, the necklace is so unique with so much flare, and I love swinging tassels (that could be misconstrued; I am not a stripper!)
The plum would look gorgeous with your hair and coloring. Go for it, and I know that MT will get it out the door to you tomorrow. I'm torn between the gold and the turquoise. I know that the gold is a must, but the turquoise is so tempting, especially for summer.
Actually, I'd like one of each, but I must restrain myself and not be piggy about it.
Best,
Jerrine
Dear Jerrine, you are so funny! You could certainly do an elegant "show" using the Hermes scarves and accessories! Funny, my sister is totally NOT into anything girly, and yet in her youth she was a show dancer in Las Vegas for a brief moment. Isn't it delicious, the mysteries that lie behind someone's outer facade?
DeleteI love the gold, but don't think it will flatter me. So please order it for yourself! And then send a photo in to the next collage. And order the turquoise too. Oh dear, I really should be encouraging your admirable restraint!
Aloha,
Fifi
Well, good for her, and it is delicious, as you say. I'm sure she could tell some very interesting stories.
DeleteAnd, I have to admit - when I was young, I so wanted to be a Radio City Rockette. I kind of still do!
I took your advice and ordered the gold and the turquoise, and I'll do my best to get a modeling shot to MT.
Hope you ordered your plum.
Ciao,
Jerrine
Jerrine and Fifi, hugs to you both! Jerrine, can't wait to include your modelling shot into the next collage, Ms Vieux d'Or is fabulous on you! Fifi, I agree, Plum is your color <3 Happy Thanksgiving week to you both xxx
DeleteSo STUNNING! How to choose a color! Hugs Bagmoma
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hugs right back x
Delete:-) These necklaces are beautiful, dear MaiTai, but unfortunately I'm way too short for them :-)
ReplyDeleteA very HAPPY week to you, too! :-)
Happy savings ;-)
DeleteAbsolutely love them, and the colour combinations are stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteDearest Mai Tai,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new gemstone necklaces in all these beautiful colours, a perfect match to so many of our scarves....
Your imagination has no end and I´m so happy for that! <3
Congratulations on the new organizers as well. Hope to be able to find one for me soon.
Stay warm and cozy, my dear. Up here it has become cold already. A wonderful remaining week to you and hugs and kisses, Manuela
Thanks so much for the lovely compliments and kind good wishes, my dearest Manuela. Stay warm and cosy, and have a great remaining week xx
DeleteStunning and you wear it so well...all of the colors are just beautiful, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteMerci!
DeleteCongratulations on your newest additions dear MaiTai! The necklaces are so beautiful and they look lovely on you. Now, the only problem I see is, what color to get. Looks like there is more Christmas shopping to do! :) Hope you have a lovely week as well! Simone xx
ReplyDeleteMany thanks my dearest Simone! I am just so sorry how fast they went. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!
DeleteThese are stunning,my darling uber talented friend! I agree with all of the above comments times one thousand;-)
ReplyDeleteJerrine, yes, this will cause another forage thru the scarves and shawls to try to select the best color/colors! ITA regarding the pricing...amazing and I had to look twice to make sure my eyes did not deceive me!
Congrats,dear MT...you brought down the house with this launch! Definately worth a toast with the bubbly! Mwahs and warm hugs, T xx
Trudye, I decided to forego pillaging tonight and order today for fear that they'll fast sell out. I ordered the gold in the shorter length and the turquoise in the longer version, and I plan to wear them together sometimes (but with just one tassel, lol.)
DeleteWhat colors are you leaning towards? And, remember - while toasting MT's talent, and our good fortune, be careful and keep your tassel out of the bubbly:-).
A warm hug to you, too. It was 15 here this morning. The cats can't believe it. Neither can I!
Jerrine
Jumping up and down with excitement...sister of The Salon...those are my two choices,too! I think I will do both of the shorter length, given my height, as I can vary it for doubling up by removing a tassel! I love natural jade and it's inherent organic beauty!
DeleteHope you and kitties are warm enough! Head our direction this weekend if you would like to enjoy a balmy 80 degrees! Then we dip again next week! Fingers crossed for everyone to stay well with these wild temps!
Big hug,
T xx
How nice, Trudye, and we didn't even confer with one another before ordering. I love the natural jade, too, especially when paired with the rich garnets. They play off one another wonderfully. I think the whole darn necklace is a little masterpiece.
DeleteIf the kids would use their shelters, they'd be fine, but they're being a bit snarky with one another, and the cold weather and winds must be the culprit. But last night, LBD was toasty in her shelter with a purr pad and a warming disc, and brother Louie, settled on her warmed purr pad after chasing her off it. He seemed happy enough, though, believing that he finally got the best purr pad. (Louie is a love bug, but a bit dim. Sister LBD is the brains of the operation.)
Stay warm until the weekend. We're supposed to get to 68 here on Sunday, and it will feel like a heat wave. In the meantime, I'm camping out under my heated Sunbeam throw that I got a Costco. It's wonderful. I'm toasty warm . . . as long as I don't get up!
Big hugs back gemstone necklace twin,
Jerrne
Trudye Darling, did not get down to the bubbly yet... the house was brought down quite literally! We'll make up for it <3 Jerrine, my cat is getting quite jealous.. heated purr pads and warming discs! Never heard of these before, and I want a heated Sunbeam throw too!
DeleteThese are beautiful...you have a great eye for accessories. Well done! Congratulations, ma chere.
ReplyDeleteMerci, chezbliss!
DeleteWhich color is best with "our" Marwari? Plum? Bag moma
ReplyDeleteIt would have been plum and vieux d'or, I'm so very sorry both are gone. hugs x
DeleteA little off topic, but I wanted to thank you, dear Jerrine, Trudye, Catherine, and MaiTai, for your warm wishes when I was ill. I apologize for being so poor at acknowledging but I really was quite useless! All better now -- Hope you are each enjoying the autumn season, wherever you may be located!
ReplyDeleteMuch aloha,
Fifi
So happy you are feeling better,Fifi! Fingers crossed that the good health prevails!
DeleteWeather in Texas a little bi-polar as of late and hope we all can stay well!
Cheers to good health, Trudye
Autumn? Well, Fifi, the beautiful trees think it's autumn, but the polar bear temperatures say otherwise.
DeleteAt least, the shawls are finally seeing some action!
Stay well,
Jerrine
Thank you, dear Trudye. I visited New Braunfels area one October and the weather was perfect, I had the best time wine-tasting in the Hill Country. Would definitely visit Texas again!
DeleteGood to hear you Fifi. Silky healthy hugs from France and Switzerland !
DeleteCatherine
Yes, dear Jerrine, it's the same in the Seattle area. Brrrrrrr! My one down coat is getting a lot of action right now.
Delete:-) Fifi
Thanks, Catherine! Hugs to you too in those beautiful locales!
DeleteAloha,
Fifi
Yes, Fifi,the Texas Hill Country is such a fun place to visit,especially in October with all of the Oktoberfest celebrations going on! I have never done the wine tasting there,but the vineyards are gaining a following!
DeleteHave a lovely weekend,
Trudye
So glad you are feeling better, dear Fifi! Good health to you and all Salon sisters xx
DeleteIncredible everything is sold out!!!! AAARRRRGGHHHHHHHH are you sure you don't have one left in a corner ????? I really really need a veil or !!!!!! I feel terribly frustrated tonight. Anyway congrats for this successful bijoux.
ReplyDeleteCatherine
Aww, I am mortified, my dear Catherine.. will let you know the second I have one available! Hugs x
DeleteSold out - noooo! Lovely necklaces, Mai Tai. Hope the stock is replenished soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, Catherine and Annie, I'm so sorry to hear that, and now I feel like a big pig ordering two (Trudye feels like a big pig, too!)
DeleteI'm sure if she can, MT will restock. It's got to be difficult with handmade items, as there's so much time required to produce them.
We'll all keep our fingers crossed.
Jerrine
Oh Jerrine .... a pretty little pink pig with an Hermès scarf and TWO beautiful necklaces :-)))) Let's hope you will receive them soon, I am very happy for both Trudye and yourself. Enjoy!
DeleteCatherine
Well, Jerrine, looks as if you are alone in piglet feelings;-)
DeleteI was late to the dance with this one as I have been buried at work...so when I had time to order they were sold out!
C'est la vie! At least I am in good company with Annie and Catherine!
I will enjoy seeing everyone with theirs on the next collage!
Oh, no, Trudye, you too? You mean I'm alone in my pig status? From what you had written, I thought you had already ordered them. I'm SO sorry. You can borrow mine any time you like. You, too, Catherine and Annie.
DeleteI know that MT will move heaven and earth to replenish her stock if that's possible.
Darn, I'm a lonely pig today,
Jerrine
Oink, sob, oink, sob . . .
Don't cry for me little piglet, I mean Jerrine! Our gal has another uber success on her hands and I am so happy for her and everyone that was quicker to the draw than I! The moment I finished responding here I rushed over to order ! Life really is about the timing,no?
DeleteWe really should start a co-op/timeshare thingy,don't you think?
Now, no more sobbing or you will scare the kitties...plus your eyes will be all swollen;-)
Big hug,
Trudye
Well, you're most gracious, Trudye, and you're right - timing is everything, and life often gets in the way. You will get the next great MT jewel, I know.
DeleteYes, we could have a timeshare on the necklaces, kind of like those "traveling pants" that were so famous a few years back. (For the life of me, I can't remember the title of that movie.)
Okay, drying my eyes and wishing you and all the members of Le Salon a wonderful weekend.
Ciao bella,
Jerrine
Ha ha, ladies - you are making me snort coffee out my nose! You are too funny. I am on the "pre-order" list for a plum necklace, so whenever they are re-stocked I will get one. I get to practice patience, yay! Ommmm/oink...
DeleteSunshine and aloha,
Fifi
Ok, dear Fifi, keep up that snorting and you will have to join the order of the piglets!
DeleteDearest Jerrine...Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants...we could be The Sisterhood of the Travelling Bijoux...I can see it now...magical powers,romance and perhaps a murder mystery to solve! Auditions called for ASAP;-)
Happy weekend to all,
Trudye
I would happily volunteer to be one of Mai Tai's "santa's helpers" if she needs help stringing the necklaces!
DeleteFifi, if you are going to make a habit of snorting coffee out of your nose, you cannot have one of MaiTai's necklaces! Coffee will not enhance the look of that lovely silk tassel at all.
DeleteGlad to hear that you made it to the pre-order list. You're faster than our dear little friend, Trudye.
Happy weekend,
Jerrine
Annie, I am so very sorry, I wish I would have manu more! Will gladly take you up on your offer though, and any other volunteers too <3
DeleteSisters of Le Salon, you are the funniest and best! Oink, sob, don't cry for me little piggy.. can't stop laughing. Snorting next!
Bravo pour vos nouveaux sautoirs il sont tous magnifiques et déjà tous vendus vraiment bravo .A quand le réassort
ReplyDeletePlein de bises ma très chère MAITAI
MYRIAM
Merci ma chère Myriam. Je suis ravi que les nouveaux colliers vous plaît! Bises
DeleteThese necklaces are beautiful. Would you also consider doing them with silver rather then gold next time? Thanks Maryann
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the suggestion, it is noted :-)
DeleteYes in silver would be easier to wear for me. As I have more white gold etc.
ReplyDeleteAmities
Monica
I'm a 'white metal girl' too, chère Monica. Amities
DeleteOh! I need to get my paws on that yellow and white beaded tunic in the 4th picture! What make is it? Love, love, love it! Emily
ReplyDeleteDear Emily - my guess is that beautiful tunic is Tory Burch. Maybe when dear MaiTai comes out from under the mountain of new orders, she can confirm. But I do know she has several Tory Burch tunics and this looks similar in style and quality. How lucky you can wear yellow, it's such a beautiful color!
DeleteAloha,
Fifi
Emily, the tunic is by Weill. I was lucky to find it in the sale last summer! Fifi, so sweet of you to step in. I love my Tory Burch tunics, and this could have easily been one of them (probably the reason why I bought it in the first place!) xx
DeleteJust gorgeous MaiTai!! I adore your style & taste!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteA million congratulations, dearest MaiTai! Only you could have designed such extraordinarily beautiful and versatile necklaces, each one so exquisite, delicate yet striking. I am so very happy for all those who will be receiving them and wearing them! Also, thank you for creating the Kelly inserts, dear MaiTai, you truly do so much for us! Sending you much love and big friendship hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteMissed you very much, my dearest Scarf Enthusiast! Hope you have been happy and well. Thanks so much for the lovely and warm welcome for the new additions, it is wonderful to know that you like them xx
DeleteDear Scarf Enthusiast,
DeleteHow nice to hear from you again. Hope you are well and happy. Warm hug, Manuela
Thank you for your kind and sweet greeting, my dear Manuela <3 Hope you are enjoying autumn and staying nice and warm. Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead. Big friendship hugs, Scarf Enthusiast xx
DeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteCan i ask you something? Where did you get this carved jade beads? I've been looking for them years.
Thanks!
