What jewelry would you buy for $500 if you had unlimited funds?

[oncrutchesrightnow]

Just making conversation. What weird or random stone/jewelry piece that costs <$500 would you buy if it would not detract from your real bling wish list?

Remember, it doesn’t have to be the best thing you can find for five hundred bucks because in this thread, you have unlimited funds and could buy the best of everything.

I’ll go first:

This “firework” cut moissanite from Grey Girl Jewelry on Etsy.



I am still a little hesitant to spend $450 on a moissanite stone even though the new moissanite is supposedly whiter and clearer than the old yellow-green stuff. But if I had unlimited funds I would want to try this.

How about you?

From experience (apart from the "unlimited funds" part ): yellow gold hoops; white gold hoops; "souvenir" jewelry that evokes a place (simple band from here, sterling earrings or chain from there -- not like an Eiffel Tower charm -- more like a Greek Key motif from Greece, etc.).

Most likely to be another pair of LGD earrings in 9/10K White Gold.

Something with pearls! Maybe a single Tahitian pearl, as large as I can get. I'd sink the full $500 into the pearl, and then spend a bit more on the mount

Pre-Eagle Taxco Silver or mid-century modern Georg Jensen

I would like to find an old dated yellow-gold wedding band for fun. Hopefully, would be able to find that for $500.

$325 from kezzo on Etsy - 1930's sapphire and diamond stick pin:

...and I'd still have enough left over for this vintage 14k ruby hummingbird pin/brooch from bobg! on eBay ($169) :

A 22” yg chain. Damn it chains are expensive these days!!! I keep trying to get to a pawn shop here in town but their hours are weird.

A perfectly matched pair of peachy Edison pearls.

Probably $250 for the pair, and then $250 as a thank you to whatever vendor was willing to do the work to find this perfect match!

A gemstone bead necklace. One that you can hang charms from. Love the look on others but *don't* think it's really me.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Oh, I would love a pink sapphire eternity band, it wouldn’t even cost $500.

I plan on focusing on bands from here, I love the idea of different colored bands for different seasons/holidays.

I bought this Tiffany rose gold LOVE ring a few days ago for a little under $500. So I guess that’s my answer.

 

[Gussie]

Funny you should ask. I just got this snake charm ($520).

i need US $$$$ (not NZ $$$$)
but i would buy a loose gemstone
with PS's help of course

 

[elizat]

I really like the Emma Krafft bands that have been posted. I would have money left over with buying one. I may pick one up someday!

Probably a little passport stamp charm from jet set candy! Either Turks & Caicos for where we got married, or Taiwan for where my parents are from.

Yes, we non-Americans definitely need US dollars
