That's beautiful and nicely priced for sure, but I'm looking for more of a line bracelet. Thanks for posting it!

I'm sort of set on black or blue stones, with floral or nature-inspired motif a bonus, but that one is a beauty! I'm going to start a thread when I begin searching in earnest. I hope you and the other antique/vintage sleuths will chime in!

Oh one with sapphires would be *much* easier to find!

Ok, I have a serious girl crush on this Bonhams London Jewels model. She makes YG alluring, geez! Jewels are nice too, obviously.

I nearly died when I saw this and I’m not a big honker girl usually, but I could change my mind for this one. Big Stepper seems like a good name for it.

Have you checked down the back of the sofa just incase there’s a spare $189,000 in loose change there @YadaYadaYada ? Isn’t it drop dead gorgeous?

No change in the couch BUT I looked into donating my plasma and if I I donate 13 times a year it will only take just under 194 years to save the money up

These look fit for a royal!

@Kim N I found a bracelet that might suit you but I don't want to post it in case there are lurking "snipers" in our midst. Do you have a contact listing on LT?

Yes, I'm the third listing under Settings. Thanks for thinking of me!

 

[SparklieBug]

@Kim N Just to be sure that I don't spam some innocent seller (LOL!), is the listing for an "18K White Gold Round 6-Prong Solitaire Semi-Mount"?

I appreciate your line of work. Math teachers are very important.

I’m going to be the public enemy of luxury brand loyalists by saying that I will choose this over the iconic bangle any day, haha!

@Neptune Thank you. I am a numbers gal and that pencil bracelet would be amazing to have.

@Slickk , I LOVE math! I was an econ major and took a ton of math. My 10th grader is in precalc now and I'm begging him to let me help him, so he usually tells me that I'm weird.

You should be able to get a good deal for something like this, they are not very popular now. It seems that everyone is wearing the chunky, thick yellow gold victorians now, which are more casual. I saw some at auctions in my town and they went for around 2k. It's not an everyday bracelet. I love them too and missed on a gorgeous one with ruby cabochons.

Wow that is an incredible deal! I'll need directions to this auction house!

@MrsC Jewelry look for local auctions with local pick up only.
