So I have been mulling over the idea of getting a diamond bangle.
I like the one WF one has but they only have it in 14k (which I cannot wear) and I actually want three diamonds positioned into the bangle at equal intervals. http://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-bracelets/diamond-solitaire-bangle-709.htm
I also like this http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...5-p+7-c+287458-r+101323339-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+ although I find T&co to be really overpriced.
HoF has this - similar to the WF one but in 18k. Really pretty but overpriced. http://www.heartsonfire.com/shop-jewelry/bracelets/solitudediamondbracelet.aspx
I don't much like dbtys and although I really like WF and BGD's three prong bracelets, they are beyond my budget (esp as they too come in 14k and I would have to get a custom quote for 18k). Plus I really like the 'feel' of bangles as opposed to bracelets.
So what to do? Should I look for a plain 18k wg bangle and have an etsy jeweler set diamonds into it? Has anyone spotted anything that would fit the bill? Or has anyone had anything made? Ebay sleuthing?
I am a little nervous about asking Danielm/Sally or other artists for a quote as I am afraid what a made-from-scratch custom gold bangle would cost.
Ideas please? TIA in advance
