Two questions for all you DY-lovers!

1. If you were getting your first cable bracelet, which stone would you choose? I love the faceted black onyx because I feel like a black stone is neutral, and the faceted version gives it a little something extra. However, I really love the light prasiolite stone, but don't know how crazy I am about the fact that it's GREEN! I'm open to other stones (I would love to see that beautiful garnet in person), and my birthstone is amethyst (but I'm not a huge fan of purple). I also love the look of the pearl, but something about how the other gems hit the lights makes me love them more than the pearl! I can't decide! I've seen them in stores, and they're all equally beautiful.

2. My parents and I have discussed me getting a bracelet for some time now, but they think they're significantly overpriced (I don't exactly disagree). If I were to get any of the bracelets, it would be the 7mm size. I've tried to convince them to let me at least find one at a better price via eBay, but they don't love that idea that much either because they think for something like that it would be best to guarantee its authenticity by just getting one at the DY store. That goes back to the fact that they don't want to pay retail price (especially for sterling silver)! Any tips or thoughts about how to let them know that I truly love the cable bracelets (I'm a silver jewelry girl through and through!) and that I would always wear and cherish the piece? I feel like the discussion just goes around in a circle haha.

I won't buy it from eBay and I think David yurman is a better value than Tiffany. Not that you mention Tiffany's that just my personal opinion. Or look on the David yurman website and and search for the authorized dealers eg like a local Jewelery stores that carries David yurman. And try to see if you can get 10% because paid cash they may do it

Yeah, my parents and other family members they've consulted think Tiffany is a classic and DY is just simply "trendy." I've tried to see if maybe a vintage or jewelry resale store sells them, but with those you might not always get the stone you want, the jewelry may be scratched, and I just don't want to wait months and months to see if a stone I like pops up.

I never knew about the cash option, so that's something to consider. Thanks for the tip!

There's no guarantee that you will get a discount and they may can order you the bracelet in the stone that you want. And the same goes for David yurman boutique stores too

If the item is two tone, be sure to look it up on the David Yurman website to see if the gold is just gold bonded or if it's solid gold. Because the David Yurman SAs are not always so forth coming with that information.

I heard that Tiffany's is overpriced for the amount of silver that you are getting. It's not that much silver anymore like it was a few years back.
