Hello everyone again, my second post on this very informative and helpful forum.
A couple weeks ago I had asked about a solitaire necklace for my wife, and got many extremely helpful replies; and I''d like to thank all of you who responded without bumping the post:
I get the feeling my wife would prefer a bracelet over a necklace. In the past I have given her a 3-stone pendant and a journey pendant, and she does enjoy them very much, however our 6 month old son is now to the point where he grabs everything and has magled her open-ended journey necklace and she is scared to wear it anymore.
Also, I had given her a 1 ct tennis bracelet several years ago (from Macy''s when I had to move to another state for a job for several months and wanted her to have something to remind her of me), but even though the diamonds weren''t very bright at all, she LOVED it. Well, she was working at a conference a month or so ago, and she lost the bracelet in a hotel. Of course no-one turned it in, and she has cried and been very upset that she lost it because it really meant a lot to her.
She''s even said "Why don''t you just buy me a tennis bracelet with CZ''s in it, and we can get me a real one in a few years." but, I don''t want her wearing CZ''s, lol.
I need to lower my budget some unfortunately; someone ran a red light in front of me 2 weeks ago. I managed to avoid them, but I hit a curb and clipped a telphone pole in my beautiful, practically mint, family-owned since new, BMW 325is coupe The guy who ran the red light fled the scene of course. That''s the spirit, Merry Xmas to you too..... I may have to spend some cash out of pocket to get it repaired well if insurance won''t cover all the costs, so I''d like to only spend $1000 ideally, maybe $1250 on my wife''s gift.
I really like the look of the WF diamond bangle, and I see it gets lots of good reviews on here. I was wondering if anyone had a pic of the 1 ct bangle so I could see what proportion the stones are to the bracelt/wrist?

Also, do any Pricescope discounts apply to this? Is the on the "upgradeable" list since it has ACA stones, or do they have to be larger?
I also found "add a stone" bracelets from searching here (never heard of them before), and the idea sounded good, but when I looked I couldn''t find any bracelets where the settings were minimalist enough. I prefer when the stones are the center of attention, not the metal setting.
The WF bangle is not my absolute choice, but it''s the closest thing to perfect that I''ve come accross so far. I''d love to hear any other suggestions from you guys/gals.
Oh yeah, it must be available in white gold as my wife won''t wear yellow gold.
Thanks,
