Have been seaching for these babies for some time, but the only nice ones I''ve seen are on film stars and rappers wrists. Any suggestion where I might find some groovie diamond bangles?
I would have no idea, but luckily Froogle came to the rescue.
Here are a few hundred possibilities (I wasn't sure exactly what you were looking for, so I didn't filter for you): http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=diamond+bangle&btnG=Search+Froogle
EDIT: if you had something specific in mind, I'd be happy to look further, but I'm not sure what rappers wear, so I couldn't help you specifically. I did, however, see some rather nice ones in there.
Note that for each store, you can look at all the things in that store with the "More from BLAH.com" link
Thanks for the "heads up" with froogle google (new one for me)! I like the bracelets that appear just like an "eternity ring" , with stones all the way around the wrist. Most I have seen are set with stones only a half or third the way around; total weight a carat or under (except on MJ Blige, etal, wrists where some serious "bling" is happening!
these come from Precisionset. It does pay to mention that those diamonds are quite exposed to wear if the bracelet is worn often. The channel set one should be the safest - I would think.
Not a staple, as you say, but here's one more (LINK). Surely there should be some more interesting pieces like this in antique shops (online and off). These just happened to pop up at among my ususal www jewelry links
