Longtime lurker here, first time poster. After a long, hard year, a birthday and a professional milestone, I'd like to buy myself a piece of jewelry. I have a self-imposed budget of $600. I'm thinking of a right hand ring (or two?), since I already have lots of earrings, but could be convinced to go for a necklace instead. Here are some parameters:
- Must be solid gold, no gold plate or silver.
- I'm all for lab gemstones (which is why I'm posting in this forum).
- My jewelry style is a little bit "funky" - I like interesting pieces with color or texture. I prefer colored stones to white stones.
- I'd like something that I can wear frequently, but it doesn't have to be so basic as to be "everyday" jewelry. In non-Covid times I work in a professional setting where women wear lots of jewelry.
I'm thinking of a cool gold ring with some texture or a lab stone band. But I'd love other ideas too! What would you buy for yourself with a $600 budget? It's obviously not a huge amount but hopefully I can get something nice! Thanks for any suggestions and advice!
