$2000 budget - tennis bracelet or stud earrings?

[shortee78]

If you had a $2000 budget, would you go for a delicate tennis bracelet (2ct, I was considering the 3 prong one from WF''s site) or diamond stud earrings (considering ACA 3 prong martini studs from WF)? I don''t have any bracelets or earrings that I wear on a daily/regular basis, and thought that I should start adding more classic items to my jewelry lineup

Your opinions please!

I vote for the tennis bracelet. WF''s are so nice, even with 2 ct, the ACA''s they use are so sparkly. My reason is I''d rather be able to look at my jewels and the only time you can see studs is when you look in a mirror.

I''d probably get the earrings. I wear my martini stud earrings almost every day. The downfall is that you can''t see them, yes, but I would get more wear out of earrings. Both would be FABULOUS and this is a great "problem" to have.

What fun! I''d get studs.

I''d go with studs too. I have worn studs almost every day ever since getting my first pair in 1991!

Studs for me too.

 

[emilina22]

id go with the studs!!!

Studs!

Even though you cannot see them, others can and it''s amazing how a great pair of diamond studs can brighten up ones face.

Either choice would be fantastic. I would go with the studs, because you can wear them daily.

$2000 might not buy you too much in the way of bracelets these days but it can buy you some killer studs. I vote for the studs.

I would go for the studs!

I recently had my diamond studs reset in a martini setting and I love them. It makes a huge difference.

Studs here too!

I love mine and I do get to see them everytime I look in the mirror - which I do more of since I`ve gotten the studs!

Have fun shopping!

Stuuuuuuds!

Studs, you can get a great pair for that price and you will most likely get much more wear out of them.

Personally, I''d chose studs because you can wear them with everything and tennis bracelet + my 4 yr old son = disaster in the making. Also, I''m not much of a bracelet girl but I love them on other people. What suits your lifestyle best? Do you already have a favorite pair of everyday earrings? Fun decision!!

BRACELET. DEFINITELY.

Everyone can see your bling. Hair might cover the other.

I personally would get studs because I wear them every day, but I think you should get whichever you think you would wear more often. Are you more of an earring or bracelet girl?

STUDS!
I just got a pair for my 40th! I haven''t taken them off.
No, you don''t get to see them, but you KNOW that everyone else can.
What fun!
Enjoy whatever you decide on.

 

[Dreamgirl]

Im going to say the studs because personally, I''ve wanted diamond studs for about 8 years now lol

 

[swingirl]

I think I just solved your "problem". Go over budget and get BOTH!!! Make everyone happy!

 

[shortee78]

Wow, so far it''s 16 in favor of studs and 3 in favor of the bracelet.

For me, I am so indecisive about this whole jewelry thing. Ever since I found Pricescope last week, I wavered between upgrading my current e-ring diamond (this is now out of the question), getting a Diamomds By the Yard necklace/bracelet from WF (but found out the custom design I wanted is $3000, OUCH!), getting the 2ct 3 prong tennis bracelet, and just yesterday, started to consider getting simple stud earrings

Am I the only one with the indecisiveness syndrome? I think my problem is that I''m a very emotional shopper, so when I like something, I need to buy it right away. Otherwise, if I think about it too long, I talk myself out of it. So far, I talked myself out of the diamond upgrade, the DBTY set, and now I''m slowly talking myself out of the 2ct bracelet (seems a bit small, I like the scale of the 3ct better but it''s too expensive for me right now).

Hehehe. I guess this is a fun problem to have, right?!

 

[diamondringlover]

I would get a bracelet

 

[Rhea]

Studs!

 

[shortee78]

Okay I emailed WF about ACA stud earrings! I hope they get back to me soon! Otherwise, I might talk myself out of these earrings!

I''m thinking that going ACA vs the Expert Selection "ready set go" earrings might be better deal for me, so that I can upgrade in the future *rubbing hands together*

Thanks for all your help! This is a fabulous forum

Another vote for studs!

 

[marcy]

I love them both but I''d get studs before I''d get a bracelet. I can''t wait to see what you get.

Just a quick update for you ladies! I did decide to go with stud earrings from WF, and I hope they are shipped soon cuz I''m going on maternity leave at the end of this week and they are being shipped to a FedEx location near my workplace

The earrings will definitely go into my "daily attire" list and best of all, it won''t interfere with taking care of the new baby (whereas a new bracelet might get in the way).

Thanks for all your help!

(Oh, and I spent $300 less than I would have if I got the tennis bracelet, so it''s a win-win all around!)

 

[Tacori E-ring]

You will not be disappointed! Congrats on the new baby (to be) as well!

Woohoo, how great!!! I think you''ll be really happy with earrings. You got to go quite a bit bigger with earrings for the budget, and I think they will be perfect as everyday pieces. Bracelets are fun for dress up, but they bug me if I wear them often.
