What is your recent ALCHEMY purchase?

My friend brought me my loot which I've sent to her UK address to save shipping costs, avoid some customs and becasue some stuff was from ebay that was only possible to ship to the UK and was too good an offer to pass up.
So I finally have: the Eden, Regalia Balkani, From The Night (pendants); Aranea Jetstone ring, Coeur Noir hair clip, Cryptiana wristwatch and The Nevermore fob watch.

I didn't know that the chain of the Eden pendant is so long! It was a really nice surprise! :kiss:
Have to get a new battery for the fob watch, and hell, I hope the wristwatch has a new battery inside (it's still working) because I don't have any idea how it's possible to change the battery there. Either way, the watchmaker will have a sight to see! :silly:

Ooh. Didn't know the fob watches didn't come with batteries. Or did the one it came with just run out?

I really dislike the long chain size. The damned thing hangs around my tummy button, which is really not a great look. Makes it look like even jewellery is too large for me. Still not had the time to go and get it altered.

The battery just ran out, I got it changed today, works now. Also showed the watchmaker the Cryptiana wristwatch and he said that it won't be a problem to change the batteries in it when the time comes.

I have one friend that is 5 feet tall and she loves to wear those long chain necklaces. She has one with a heart pendant and the pendant hangs even under the level of her tummy button and she doesn't bother. Personally, I don't like how that looks, but she wears it so nonchalantly that others don't even notice that it's maybe too long. I do becasue I see her so often and I generally have an eye for such stuff, but generally if you show that you are bothered with something you are wearing, people will notice, so either change the chain or change the idea of the too long chain in your head. :silly:

i like long necklace but not that long. i like mine to hang level to my chest. i think if the chain is too long then they would get caught on stuff and hurt yourself.

Everything depends on your body size and how clumsy you are. The Eden pendant is just a bit under my breasts, just right for me. I don't have problems with this one or any other of my longer necklaces getting cough somewhere etc. :silly:
