Please help me decide amongst these items. I like all of them but don’t know what I would get the most use out of and/or is the best bang for my buck. Help!

1) Blue Nile Bar Bracelet on sale for $208 (I don’t own a single yellow gold bracelet)
http://www.bluenile.com/mini-open-bar-diamond-bracelet-14k-yellow-gold_43154?track=product&elem=title

2) Blue Nile White Gold Star Earrings $265 (have $100 off code) (I have been eyeing these for almost a year)
http://www.bluenile.com/mini-square-diamond-earrings-14k-yellow-gold_32333?track=product&elem=title

3) Blue Nile White Gold Square Diamond Stud Earrings $260 (have $100 off code) (These would work with almost anything, very basic)
http://www.bluenile.com/mini-square-diamond-stud-earrings-14k-white-gold_32331?track=product&elem=title

4) Tiffany and Co. Bean Earrings SS $175 (I have the 12 mm black jade bean pendant along with the starfish pendant so thought this could match for both)

Any other suggestions welcome. Prefer to match the yellow gold items I have and/or match my bean and starfish pendants.

I'd go for the bracelet. Why? Well because

A. You get to see it every day (you don't with earrings!)

and

B. I have it it white gold and it's fabulous. ;)

Update - I ordered:

http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-14k-white-gold-stud-earrings_27763?track=po

They were $195 with the coupon code. I don't own a pair of diamond studs and figure these were a good starter pair.

The funny thing is that I ordered at Christmas the 1/3 ct princess cut diamond stud earrings from Blue Nile but ended up returning them. I didn't like the screw backings but also maybe wasn't crazy about the square shape in my ears.

I'm hoping these work out. They have that same screw backing but I can tolerate that if they look pretty enough.

ETA - I think my back-up if these don't work out is the Blue Nile diamond bar bracelet.

Update - The diamond earrings I ordered didn't work out. They didn't seem well matched and I realized how much I HATE those screw backings.

I have the Tiffany 9 mm SS Elsa Peretti bean earrings on the way. :)
