Waterbaby, you're going to love the Super Nova Naja. It looks great on leather, sterling beads, the native pearl necklace, the turquoise torsade, and various turquoise and other gemstone bead necklaces. Great on coral or lapis. Let us know what you think of it when it arrives.

Thanks. I sure will. I got the 14 mm native pearl necks in 17" and 21". I'm so in love, great alone or nested. Can't wait for the Naja!!!

Hello Waterbaby! You just joined a very "exclusive" super duper naja club, lol! Let me add my congratulations! I am happy for you. (I actually hoped you would do that instead of the necklace, because I think the enhancer will be more versatile in the long run.)

Jug town, Haca and Kath....thanks for your kind words of support! Jug town, your pics helped make my decision. It's still in process so, hopefully, next week. Have a great holiday weekend and enjoy the shows Sunday.

I would NEVER buy something based on future value.

Just buy what you love (and can afford).

Whatever your choice...ENJOY!

Thanks, terrier, you are right about "worth" in the future . I didn't mean what would it be worth to resell, etc. I meant would I get more I leave I'm wearing the Naja because it is an enhancer as opposed to a necklace. I've bought and sold many pieces of designer jewelry and I don't care what anyone says, it is not an investment. It is for our enjoyment and pleasure and if it can be passed down and enjoyed over generations or sold on a secondary market to recoups some $ from it, that's just a bonus! I decided on the. Naja because I know I will wear it more frequently on different necklaces.

YAYYYYY ! Excited for you to get it......welcome to the gang (: I Love to wear it on a beefy black leather cord or turquoise twisted into torsade and when I'm not wearing it, it's hanging on something as decoration. The sleeping beauty on it is breathtaking. All sleeping beauty is not created equal, so Carolyn really made sure this was a stunner. It is bold, yet It's a chameleon also because I was surprised how versatile it is. ENJOY (:

I am on the advance order list for the SB Squash Blossom. I've always wanted one and the $323 price tag with tax, tag and title are more like $357. But, I thought it was a good buy. However, it is a necklace and I always were a necklace with an enhancer. I think it offers a lot of versatility.

I am also on the WL for the red coral Naja, which I think is stunning also.

So, even though the Turquoise Naja is more money, $544 with everything, is it worth it vs. the SB over the long term?

I have the 14mm native Pearls in 17" and 21", the CP Statement necklace in 17" all sterling and the Signature in the mixed metals along with a 10mm turquoise necklace to put the red and possibility the turq Najas on.

Just looking for honest opinions. Thanks, ladies!

Investment wise, neither one will pay off. I have turquoise jewelry from the 1960's. All the pieces R in very good condition, good quality, squash blossom, etc. All hand made from Indian tribes in the southwest. No one is interested unless they are antique. Which means 100 years old.

Buy what you love today. Tomorrow isn't promised.
