Hello all!
I’ve been saving for a gold bracelet for a while now and have a budget of ~$3k, but I can also wait and save up more.
It all started when I saw this:
I love the sun theme for personal reasons, but not that it’s only 14k. For the tiny ctw I could take or leave lab diamonds. I also worry I’d bang it on things regularly. I do like the hinge, it feels more secure than the typical clasp!
I also loved this bezel set emerald cut tennis bracelet that another PSer had and it has been living rent free in my brain ever since (I’m so sorry, I saved your image but not your name!):
It is way over budget - the closest I found in 18k YG was around $8k for 4 ctw. that’s not the end of the world, but it would push the purchase date back a year or so. I also worry I’d be afraid to wear it daily due to the value.
Last but not least is a station bracelet with shapes other than the typical round similar to this:
I love the mixed cuts in it, it’s more likely to be in my price range, but will it feel too light/cheap? I want something I can feel on my wrist.![Smile2 :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
If you have any other suggestions or ideas, please share them. This will be a graduation present to myself for finishing my graduate degree, so I want to get it right!
