My parents gave me $200 to choose a graduation gift! That was so nice of them! I just got my masters degree. Ideally I'd like to choose something of approx that amount, so that it will be all "from them" - not half from them and half from me! Any ideas? I was thinking maybe a pearl pendant on a white gold chain, or something from the Tiffany silver line, or a couple of Blue Nile silver pieces. Or maybe some briollette cut gemstone earrings or pendant.
Or, I could always save the money and put it towards something bigger later.... or if other relatives send any monetary gifts, combine them into a "mega graduation gift"? Next on my wish list is a diamond pendant. I also really like the David Yurman twisted silver bracelets with the gemstone ends, but I see a lot of young girls wearing them and I don't want something too trendy. I also think they're a little pricey considering the materials ($550). But I do think I'd enjoy it and wear it a lot, especially the blue topaz, since I wear a lot of blue.
I wish my parents understood my love of bling.... they really, really don't. They would probably be happiest if I put the money into my savings account! They are big savers. But I did ask them and they said it would be fine to choose a piece of jewelry to remember the occasion.
So basically, what would you buy for $200?
