While anxiously awaiting the new arrivals from Waxing Poetic, it is time to say goodbye to some old favorites.
The 2019 Waxing Poetic retired items list has just been released, and there are a lot of surprises. Read on to see which pieces are being left behind in 2018.
Natural Beauties
Among the retiring charms are some of our favorite nature-inspired pieces. We will miss the beautiful Natural Beauty petite two-tone charms with sparkling crystals.
While the large white pearl Moon Daisies are staying for now, the smaller black pearl Moon Daisy is no longer going to be available.
Celebrate Your Story
The Quatrefoil and Petite Poetic Insignia initial collections are also being retired. This leaves only the Chancery and Century Insignia for those who collect the initials. Luckily we still have a lot of the other retired styles available at Versant. We love mixing the different styles!
The Waxing Poetic retired list this year includes some standard personalization pieces that have been around for a very long time. A lot of people collect the retiring birthstone foundation stones to celebrate family members. Make sure to pick yours up for any pending arrivals before they are gone!
The Heartlock charms are also part of the Waxing Poetic retired list. Each of these lock-shaped charms is engraved with a different relationship.
We love using these charms to symbolize the special people we have locked within our hearts.
Strength & Protection
This year’s Waxing Poetic retired charms also includes some powerful symbols of strength and protection.
One of our favorite statement pieces- the Eye of the World pendant- is being retired in the aquamarine, citrine, and sapphire stones.
We love this thick mother-of-pearl slice captured within a brass cage and emblazoned with the protective eye!
The Seppo Star Plate Choker is also being retired this year. Engraved with the North Star, it makes a bold statement in a minimalist way.
The Supernaturals Hand of Fatima charm is also being retired this year. The reverse of this charm is engraved “GOOD FORTUNE,” capturing the symbolism of abundance and protection associated with the hamsa.
Chains
Aside from the many charms being retired, we are also saying goodbye to several chain styles.
The ever-popular twisted link chain in sterling silver and brass is being put to rest 😢. We love the texture of this chain. Still available in limited quantities in 18″, 24″, and 30″- this is one you should grab before it is gone!
We are also losing the Denso black leather necklace. This relatively new style is great to give your charms a more casual look. The contrast with the black leather lets the beauty of the metal charms really stand out.
The Denso necklace is available in both a choker length and a longer 28″ version.
The gold-plated baby ball chain is also set to be retired. This has been a staple for our petite two-tone charms for many years!
The baby ball chain is made in 16″ and 18″ versions. The 16″ length is great for layering your smaller charms.
We are sad to see all of these Waxing Poetic retired pieces go, but it means that they are making room for some great new collections! See something on the list that you must have? Make sure to snap it up before it is gone forever! We always offer free shipping on jewelry purchases over $50!
