These pieces will never date. Try to guess the year it is from, then ask the SA what year it was designed. </p> <p>Look at Dew Drop. It was designed in 1955. It looks more modern than anything in the stores today - </p> <p><a href="http://www.georgjensen.com/us/jewelry/necklaces/dew-drop-sterling-silver-neckring" rel="nofollow">http://www.georgjensen.com/us/.....r-neckring</a></p> <p>BUY IT NOW.

That's what you wanted to get there right? And it seems like a great quality piece, and you said it's one in your price range. I say make it yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772250 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:44:40 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 772250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spending money on jewellery is totally different from spending money on clothes. You will never be unable to wear a good quality long necklace because you have gained or lost weight; or because it has irreparably worn out; or because it is the wrong colour for your latest outfits. You will never have to give it away because it has become a bit shabby; and it will never become "too old" or "too young" for you to wear. Unlike your clothes and shoes, you can wear your necklace for the rest of your life. And while your clothes and shoes depreciate in value from the moment you start wearing them, your silver necklace will APPRECIATE in value. And you will have something of enduring value to bequeath to your daughter, which will mean more than a figure on a valuer's spreadsheet; a thing of beauty which will hold for her precious memories of you. Gosh, I sound like a jewellery ad :).... what I am trying to suggest is that while our clothes are on either a fast or slow trajectory towards the charity bin, quality jewellery is on a trajectory towards a register of assets - and is arguably more reliable than a share portfolio. Investment purchases are all about longterm gain - and a quality necklace certainly fits the bill. And no tranche of shares will bring the pleasure and sophistication into one's life that fine jewellery can provide... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772243 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:14:07 +0000 Suz 772243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it!!! I love Georg Jensen. It is an investment piece that will last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772215 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:09:19 +0000 harmonica 772215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! George Jensen is timeless and elegant. Consider it an investment piece and do some CPW math (what do you think is an ok price and how many times do you have to wear it before you reach that cost) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772207 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 08:22:47 +0000 HeleenH 772207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to go Danish you should pick out one with the daisies. I just went to their Danish website and I think some of them are real nice but some of the prices are waaaaaaay out of my jewlery-price-range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772202 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 08:15:50 +0000 Anonymous 772202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to agree with the others in saying YES! (And reading your later post, it sounds like you'll be getting it, so I look forward to those photos of you wearing it.) I was familiar with vintage Georg Jensen but not with their current jewelry, so I had a look at it online &amp;, as the others said, it's timeles &amp; beautiful. I did see a necklace there that I think is probably the one you're describing, &amp; it's lovely &amp; could be doubled as you said, &amp; clasped at different lengths, so it would be very versatile.</p> <p>Megan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772154 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 05:16:07 +0000 Jenava 772154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think so. I've tried on this style and if I could have afforded it I know it would be an absolute workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772149 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 05:08:11 +0000 Deborah 772149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen you don't need to justify it as being for your daughter, it's ok if it's for YOU </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772144 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:59:44 +0000 jenanded 772144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to hear your responses on its timelessness. Can I justify this as being for my daughter? I do have to say, while i baulk at spending the money, it would be intresting to add up how much one spends on cheap tshirts/sneakers etc over a year or so and there certainly is nothing left to show for that... I will report back with pics with the necklace on,,, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772135 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:44:08 +0000 annagybe 772135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772127 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:26:55 +0000 Deborah 772127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen, I am an enabler so I am saying buy it! Georg Jensen jewelry is beautiful and I think timeless and elegant yet interesting. It sounds perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772117 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:07:46 +0000 Diana 772117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Georg Jensen jewelry! It's my mom's favorite jeweler, so I'm lucky to have a few pieces. (mine are modern ones, although she collects the vintage pieces). I wear them a lot and find them pretty timeless, plus they seem to hold their value well, so I think it would be a good buy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-georg-jensen-in-copenhagen---aargh#post-772112 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 04:00:40 +0000 jenanded 772112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made it through the coat dramas and surviving quite nicely in wonderful Copenhagen! I had ONE thing on my list to get here - a simple silver necklace/necklet I can wear alone or put on a little ornament if needed. I find with my white hair I need a bit of lightness near my face with my still mainly black work wardrobe. Can you believe have not found a ONE. So went into Georg Jensen the famouse Copenhagen silver house and after trying on many necklaces and pendants that I might have felt were in price range, tried a wonderful long necklance of large circles. I can wear it long, or doubled as a shorter necklace. It suits my size 16, 5'9" frame, the colour is right, after 3 days of necklace hunting it looks most RIGHT. And of course it is a bit more than double what I thought I would spend. It would go formal or casual... I could afford it if I needed to... SHOULD I BUY? It is about a third less to the price it would be at home... this is one of those questions of principle I am asking, I already KNOW it looks right. So not sure if I am being a tightwad or something is holding me back. I have bought no clothes here so... </p>
