bracelet like diamonds by the yard for my wedding

[mjlover]

hello lovely pricescopers,

Its my birthday in a month and my boy is happy to get me a bracelet that i could also wear on our wedding day. Im really in love with the diamonds by the yard style (even the small size teeny tiny diamond) but they are SO exy ... no way in hell im getting that.

our budget is prob $500 Aussie dollars... i dont care how many diamonds (even one little one) but does anyone have any idea where else i could get something similar?

Thanks so much

I think with your budget and the exchange rate you might have troubles finding something (I could be wrong) I would try etsy and see if you can find something there possibly.

Hi MJ - I recently looked into getting a custom DBTY bracelet made by Whiteflash with ACA diamonds. You could certainly contact them and ask what they could make for your budget. Although with the exchange rate and shipping costs (I used to live in Australia), you might be better off getting something there.

I guess you''re right ... its just depressing that this time last year our dollar was at 90c and now its like 60c if we''re lucky ... doesnt make sense! i might ask a jeweller in Aust then. I did email whiteflash but i guess they will come back with a big fat no.

thanks anyway.

I hope you can find something!

I have no idea what the exchange rate is from Aussie to US $, but I thought I would post this: http://www.bluenile.com/white-gold-diamond-bracelet_4882?catid=11&set_shape=. If it''s out of budget I would suggest contacting whiteflash or a jeweler in Australia and starting with one single bezel stone on a bracelet chain and then adding a diamond to the chain every year or so! I think this style with a small .10 stone shouldn''t be more than $300 or so in WG (US dollars) and you can add diamonds over time.

Great idea KC!!

thats a great idea! i will wait for whiteflash to get back to me ... the BN one is lovely but alas, $1250 USD and double that and you have the Aussie price. Do you think they would custom design like whiteflash?

also - what do you guys think of this on ebay:

i really value your opinions ...

With anything on ebay always check out http://www.toolhaus.org it tells you more then the normal Ebay feedback system does.

I really like kcoursolle''s idea and possibly what I would do .

 

[mjlover]

wow - im glad i checked her out with that toolhaus thing ... loads of negs and general feeling that the quality is poor. I hope whiteflash get back to me tomorrow - i like the ideal of one little one that we can add to!

What about these guys:

http://www.junojewelry.com/Bezel-set-Bubble-Design-Diamond-Necklace-40G-HSI-17-ct41_p_140.html

basically they have a necklace (for a REALLY great price) so i figured they could do a bracelet too? they said they could im just waiting to hear back on details.

i asked blue nile (they dont alter or custom) and whiteflash said that they couldnt even do one with a teeny diamond for $300 .. sob.

So, do you guys think that junojewelry would be okay??

For the `effect` I would get sarvarsky crystal or something for the wedding.

I remember wearing a sarvarsky tennis bracelet on my wedding day because it was so pretty, and unbenownst to me, all the guests thought that I was wearing a diamond bracelet. Weird because the crystals were very big...like a carat each!!!!
