Another vote for the two tag RTT suggested. It is small enough to wear every day and even layer with other chains for a more dramatic look but equally as beautiful and eye catching on its own. I have the plain RTT heart tag and wore than as an every day necklace for quiet a while and still put it out every now and again because it reflects light so beautifully right at the neck. I love to wear it when I'm layering clothing or wearing a scarf because it is always peeking through and reflecting the light. I love it!

Bracelet. Maybe it's true the chances are lower to fall as a necklace. Good luck!!
Yes, i agree that it is probably a body chemistry thing. Most of my silver jewellery does not tarnish if i wear them regularly, but those which i don't wear will tarnish after a while. I guess the trick to keeping them shiny is to wear them more
Yes, good point, thanks. It will look weird if half the heart is more scratched than the other half!
No i don't have the bean. Thanks for suggesting it. I'll def take a look at it at the store and see if it sings to me
Thanks! Yes, i like the simplicity of the plain RTT heart tag too.
I'm now more inclined towards this and the heart padlock. Just need to decide between these 2!
Ooh, thanks for replying. This makes me feel better about potentially getting the padlock to wear as a pendant.

I have over 40 pieces with never any tarnish or issues. Tiffany silver is superior in my eyes.
My suggestions:
RRT heart bracelet
Bean necklace
RRT heart tag necklace with teal on backside
Loving heart necklace
Bow necklace.
Good luck with your shopping and have fun!!

Hehehe no problem!!
+1 for the Bean. My first piece was a Elsa Peretti Open Heart necklace. http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...5-p+1-c+288187-r+101287465-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
Regarding tarnishing issue, my Somerset ring tarnishes the most. But my 1837 ring is holding up well. I wear both of it daily. Necklaces and bracelets wise, as long as I store them in the Tiffany pouch, it is fine.

Glad to help
My 2 cents: Since you like gold, look at the Paloma Picasso Dot Charm. It comes in a variety of stones and it is in your budget. Go to a store to see it. It is stunning in person. The pictures on the internet do not do justice!Hi all,
My hubby is getting me a small gift, just because....but as it's just after Christmas, i want to keep it small & simple, and i've decided to keep it within the budget of $300, or lower, if i can manage it
.
I told him i want a sterling silver necklace/pendant from Tiffany. He was actually quite surprised I chose silver over gold, but I explained that with the current price of gold now (i wear mostly 18k and above due to skin sensitivity issues, but i have no problems with ss), i'd most likely only be able to get designs that are very thin & flimsy and not very well made. i had been shopping around the local jewellers & nothing has struck my fancy. On the other hand, i think i will be able to find a silver piece from Tiffany which i'll enjoy much more.
I've narrowed it down to a few choices but it still seems like a lot, and i'm hoping you ladies can give me some opinions and suggestions:
1. The rtt heart tag

2. Rtt heart padlock
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...arams=s+5-p+17-c+563629-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
This was initially my 1st choice, but i've been told that the lock opens up by itself sometimes. Does anyone have that problem? Do you think this piece can be easily lost? I don't want to have to worry about it.
3. Rtt heart tag with key
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...5-p+1-c+288196-r+101287465-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
4. Silver box charm
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...-p+39-c+287465-r+101323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
As you can see, i rather like the RTT line
Are there other designs i should consider? Should i go for a 0.03 ss dbty instead? It is within my budget but i don't know if 0.03 is too small. (The store didn't have any of that in stock for me to try). I never thought it'll be so hard to decide even with such a small budget! Suggestions would be very welcomed!!
In sterling silver you have plenty of choices in your budget. Man In The Moon pendant is nice and different. Elsa Peretti mini bottles are also different and the mini size is perfect. They look small on the web site, but when you try them on in the store you realize that they are just the perfect size. I also like her Madonna pendant. Paloma Picasso has nice options in your price range also.
And for a classic bracelet, you can not go wrong with the Venetian Link one or the toggle bracelet.
From all the options you listed, I would personally go for the silver box charm. Elegant, classic and timeless!
