Does anyone have a sterling bead bracelet?

[akmiss]

I love the look and Tiff''s has one but I have never seen it in person

$175 is affordable but is it worth it?

Hi akmiss, I don''t have one but my friend does, and I love it. I think it''s so clean, classic, and very versatile - it totally works whether in work attire or more casual clothes. I think you should go for it!

Ditto - a friend of mine has the one from Blue Nile. It''s beautiful - heavy but not too heavy and very classic looking. The BN ones are very nice and about 1/3 of the price of Tiffany''s - this is the one my friend has, the smaller size: http://www.bluenile.com/sterling-silver-bracelet-ball_2374?oid1=7875&oid2=2374

I want a fun everyday bracelet but I secretly want something from Tiff''s too

Oh the dilemma...

 

[Elmorton]

Awesome!! Haha, I know the dilemma well

I have the T&Co bracelet and I love it. I wear it every day, so mine is pretty beaten up. I polish it on occasion, but not every day. As you wear it it develops this nice patina. Not really a dirty tarnished look, just broken in. I do love it when it looks shiny and new though. I''ve contemplated getting another one that I could wear when I wore nicer clothes...

How fun! You will love it.

I have the one from Tiff''s, along with the necklace and earrings, and I wear the bracelet all the time. It goes with everything! Mine has the patina HH was mentioning ''cause I wear it so much.

kittybean and HH, I would love to see pictures of the T&Co bracelet. I received the one from blue nile today and am pleased. The bracelet is STUNNING but extremely lightweight. Is the T&Co version similar in that aspect?

I would love to post pics but my photog skills are lacking....

 

[akmiss]

OK, I tried

I have one and have worn next to my watch and 2 other bracelets everyday for at least a year and it looks great!

The T&Co version is not hefty, but I wouldn''t call it "lightweight" either. I have a couple pictures of the set, but no wrist shots for the moment. I''ll try and take a few tomorrow if you''re interested. In the meantime, here''s the whole silver bead collection:

Kittybean, I love your set! feel free to post as many pics as you like

I''ve always loved the bead earrings, I''m kicking myself for not buying a pair when I was in T & C in New York earlier this year.
