Well I have seen Saphire bracelets for around $200 pretty regularly. In fact I think my Aunt has a bracelet given to her by my Uncle with a birth stone for each of their children and grandchildren that he added to as they were born.

May I suggest, assuming you have a good credit score, is take advantage of one of the large chains in store credit card/financing.

When my brother got married I bought matching watches at Kay or some such place. They offered me 5% off right off the bat but said 10% with credit. I responded with 30% to which they said no and we agreed on 20% off with it on credit. Of course I was spending a bit more, but still.

I like this. You could even show her that a little high tech isn't bad by getting a digital frame. That way you can have a little slideshow going showing all the pictures and easily able to add new ones w/o getting rid of old ones.

I like it....

Interesting...

I'm still bitter about the yellow quartz & moonstone bracelet I bought her in Hawaii and she never wears! :r

But that's a damn good price! I'll keep my eyes open.

Nice Greg!

So what do our SOTL's have to say on the topic, huh?
