Hello all,
I realize this is gem forum that mostly deals with rings, but thought I would ask the question here anyway, since it deals with gems. I'm hoping to get some advice on buying a present for my wife and here's my "want" list. Art deco bracelet with colored stones (i want them to be natural without any artificial additions/changes), possibly diamonds (but for my money I realize that might not happen) and have a 18K or platinum setting. I would like to spend around 2000$ and have it as an "antique roadshow, my mother gave this to me" type investment/present for my daughter. I realize having a "name" like Cartier or Tiffany attached to the piece will sky-rocket the price but in my understanding it's probably better to have something smaller and simpler with a name, rather than something more complex without one.
Now for the question Any suggestions on where I can find something like that or probably something close to what I'm looking for? I looked on Ebay, most of the filigree bracelets are somewhat identical and are not that interesting to me, I would prefer to have something more unique.
Thanks much!
