Like Tacori E-ring, I have narrowed it down to 4 options. They are all about the same price. Any opinions as to which would make the best gifts are really appreciated!!

option #1

1 1/4 inch .25 tcw (supposedly I S1) white gold earrings

If I was one of your bridesmaids, I'd prefer #4 for sure! I think it'd get more wear than the others, though they're all nice choices.

ok, well, personally I like option #1 the best,(its something that i personally would wear) BUT..... (and i know i'll probably get taken out and whipped for saying this) you just can't beat the little blue box and white ribbon that comes along w/ option #4. Its an attractive necklace,very feminine, and probably something that they could wear quite a bit, and hey...what girl doesn't get a little rush out of something from tiffany's?

I actually own #4, and I really like it!  The only thing is, it's not a large piece at all, but it looks great.  I'll see if I can talk hubby into taking a few pics of me wearing it tonight.

Is this just a general gift, or do you want it to be worn during the wedding? Personally, I think when jewelry is given, it should be something that the girls can continually wear long after the wedding, or it really isn't a gift for them, you know? All that said, I really like #4 because you can wear it for both dressy and casual ocassions.

I think #1 is the one I would personally wear the most, but not everyone would.... I think everyone would enjoy #3 for occasional wear, and I think #4 makes perhaps the "nicest" gift because, as has been mentioned, you do get the instant TIFFANY'S!! recognition with that. So even though they are all approximately the same cost, I feel like it is entirely possible that your bridesmaids will be most impressed by #4 in thinking that you really got them a great gift. That said, I wear my diamond pendant every day no matter what, so even though I like this necklace a lot, I probably would wear it very rarely. I feel like a lot of people have a necklace they usually wear, so that is the least switching-it-up piece of all of these. Sooooo, I don't know which I would choose! I think I might go with the Tiffany one just because even if people don't adore it/wear it a lot, you'll know that they will definitely appreciate the effort you put into it? Whereas if the other pieces are not in their personal style they might just think, "I'll never wear that." BUT I really do like all of them so I think any of them would go over well!

I guess my reason for picking #4 isn't so much that it is Tiffany, but it's the most neutral piece. You said they all cost the same, maybe you can mix and match to suit different tastes.

Thank you all so much for weighing in! I was actually leaning toward #2 because it is my personal favorite (and I do want them to wear the jewelry for our wedding which is very formal) but I know I shouldn't just get them what I like. I agree with you all that #4 is probably the most versatile and everyone loves the glamour of Tiffany.

Logan Sapphire - I'd absolutely LOVE to see pictures of you wearing the necklace!! Please convince your husband!

Can you post your bridesmaid dresses so we can see which would work the best for the wedding?

Ditto on this response.  Love #1 the most, love those earrings...but I was thinking the same thing about the "wow" factor of the little blue box.

Sure - please ignore the model's stupid pose. They will be navy blue.

Oh that helps! I do not like necklaces with halters. I really, really like #2. Those earrings are stunning. #1 would be my second choice.

Either #3 or #4

Or another option is #3 with a strand of freshwater pearls. Someone posted here a few weeks ago, a place online that has a strand of pearls that aren't "perfect-perfect" but still nice for $30!
