Requesting help searching for a bracelet and a ring

This one caught my eye recently but wasn't quite what I'm looking for.

Oh I love this!
 
@Kim N just found an interesting bracelet. LT is down. Are you on IG?
 
Just wanted to add that my budget can be up to $10K for the right bracelet, although I hope to spend less so I can get other things on my wishlist.
 
Catmom, I'm thrilled you found your perfect bracelet! May I ask, do you have any negotiating tips you could share for when I find one of my own? I always wish I were more skilled at negotiating.
 
Kim, you absolutely want a straight line, not belly right?
 
This one caught my eye recently but has already been sold. It has the pierced aspect I love but no onyx/sapphires which I would prefer to have.

I've been discovering to my chagrin that I'm extremely picky, which isn't great when searching for one-of-a-kind pieces with a limited budget. :blackeye:
 
Bumping this as I'm still looking! Please let me know if you come across anything promising. :))

Oh I just now saw this! I'm sorry. My negotiator is my husband but in watching him work I've picked up a few hints when buying in person. Do your research and know what a realistic price is for the piece you are interested in. Know what you want to pay and stick to it. Be prepared to walk away if the price isn't what you want to pay. Have information ready on similar pieces so that you can say that you are looking at several other similar pieces that are less. We went in knowing there were two other bracelets that I could have looked at. We were discussing them in front of the sellers so they knew we had options. There have been times where we did walk away and the seller chased us down in the parking lot to agree to our price. Hubby usually is the one that negotiates online so I'm not sure what he does there. We do a reverse search though on every piece we're looking at. We've found that lots of times a piece will be listed on Ebay, 1st Dibs and Etsy all at different prices.
