Star earrings! Please help!

[honey22]

I am in trouble - left my sister grad present to last minute, and need some help, so who else to turn to but my fellow PSers!

I love these Tiff''s earrings, but here in Australia they are $290, which is more than our present budget.

Can any Aussies suggest something similar around the $200 mark, problem is, has to be ''stars'', she just loves them, and I need that pressie in my hot little hands by Friday, as it''s her party on Saturday.

Thanking you in advance!

BTW I am in Melbourne.

Hi Honey
That''s a tough one!
These were the only stars I could think of off the top of my head (I have these, they''re quite nice in person) but unfortunately apart from being stars, they''re not really similar to the ones you have posted. I''ll come back if I see anything or think of anything.

Thanks bling addict! They are beautiful, and I will put those on the list I think. I am just so in love with those Tiffs one''s, I know she would think were perfect too, but they are really $100 over budget, so I will just have to look around. I am a bit mad though, they are $175 in the US, and $290 here!! That''s a big difference, even taking into account the exchange rate! Bummer!

Thanks again for your help!

Honey, I have purchased from this company before and the quality is wonderful. They are not Tiffany''s but then again, who is?

This pair has a tiny diamond. And there is a matching necklace you could get and still be under budget.

This site had other stars as well... Good luck with your search.

Hi Julie! Thanks so much for posting that link, but I have just found the post today! I am sorry if you thought I had ignored you, I do appreciate you taking the time to suggest those. They are gorgeous, and yes she would have loved those.

BUT, Mum and I did a little trip to Tiffs and decided a girl only graduates once, so she should have the real deal. We got her those gorgeous star drop earrings from Tiffs and she just loves them. I think I loved it more giving her that little blue box and seeing the shock, suprise and then sheer amazement when she opened the box. It was almost better than getting a pair myself.

Next time I see her I will have to take some pics to post here.

Thanks again ladies for your help!
