If im placing thing topic in the wrong section, i apologize! :sniff:

There's this item that i've been wanting to get, but the downside is that i cant find the 'authentic' version of it.
I've managed to track the item down through YahooJP, but am afraid that the item that i'll be purchasing will be a replica and will most likely irritate me (im allergic to nickel / fake jewelry)

Since we're one big YamaPi lovin family, someone is bound to know about this item!!!
YahooJP - YamaPi related necklace - Listing#1
YahooJP - YamaPi related necklace - Listing#2

The information i've gathered through translation sites:
- It’s a Silver Swarovski Feather/Wing necklace
- its a 2 pc wing/feather pendant with Swarovski crystals.
- the size of the pendant is 55x19x8
- the chain is 50cm ball chain
- 100 silver, platinum finish

EDIT: PRICE: Most of the auctions have a 'buy-it-now' price of 12,800yen


I've even tried contacting the Swarovski people, they said its not one of their items.
I've checked 'Crescent Luna', nuttin there.

SO - if anyone is able to supply me a link, product name, designer name, ANY lead to get this item...it'll be really, truly appreciated!!!!!!

Please and thx.
:pig-peace:

Did any translator say how much the necklace is retail price? That would help a whole lot. For something that is suppose to be at least sterling silver, a bid should not start at 1000yen...

I think it's named "Swarovski Silver Wing" because it's made with swarovski crystals.
It could just be a replica of the jewelry Yamapi wears.

If I find anything, I'll edit my post here.

[EDIT]
I even find another seller on yahoo. jp auctions saying that it was "EXILE'S takahiro and NEWS' Yamashita Tomohisa's beloved design - swarovski silver wing necklace"
So I'm thinking it's most likely just a replica.

Swarovski stuff mixed with say white gold or just sterling silver is going to be expensive. Look at around $125-300 price range for a piece like that. Replicas can be just as nice if they're made right... and with quality material but you really can't tell if they don't list what kind of metals is used.

Thank-you for all the replies & input!

Thats one of the downsides of going off auction sites, you wont really know what you get until you receive the item, and by then, it's too late.
But knowing that there's a extremely high chance of it being a replica, that why im debating whether or not to cash out the 12,800 yen (+ shipping & other service charges).

I'll try searching for another week and if i still cant find anything i will debate on whether or not to get the ones listed.
If the item is sold by then, well, i guess its not meant to be! :)

but if anyone still has any info on it, it still be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks again!

Do you have a picture of Pi wearing the necklace? Or do you know around when he wore that necklace? Maybe that necklace was a last season item, that's why its hard to find it.

Unfortunately i dont have a photo.
I was actually looking for his 'This is my Way' photobook and saw the necklace as one of the listings.
Forgot about looking for the book and am now hunting down the necklace! :red:

So technically, im not looking for the necklace because its related to Pi - cuz i really like the necklace!! (i have a thing for wings, feathers, butterflies, cherry blossoms & stars) but knowing that its still related to Pi is a bonus!
