Hi! I know this is such a broad question, but if you had $500 to spend on a jewellry item(s) what would it be? I like all colors of gold. I like silver too. I need suggestions!
thanks

Nature Rose bangle by Tiffany or a small Roberto Coin necklace -- like the diamond baby cross. Or, a white gold bangle -- Roberto Coin also makes one and I'm almost certain the retail is $500.

I have the Nature Rose Bangle and I have to agree that it is simply gorgeous!
One of my favorite silver pieces!

I personally would go to a local jewelry store that you like that is non branded. I think your money will go further, unless you really want a designer item. I would just wait and see what grabbed my eye...

^^ Yep, elizat is right. It really depends on you though. IMO a lot of ladies like branded accessories here and are probably going to recommend designer items

thanks for the suggestions!

I only buy jewelery from my local mom and pop jewelry shop. They are fantastic ppl, they always give good prices, they repair for free, and know their diamonds! I think designer jewelry is overrated and overpriced. I like to support the smaller businesses.

As for what the OP can do with 500$, it depends on what she already has. If she is just started, I can only suggest pearl studs, or hoop earrings.
IMHO she can just get a very nice set of silver jewelry and have them platinum plated. Swarovski also is a very nice affordable idea. http://www.swarovski.com/Web_GR/en/01/category/Jewellery.html

I also like Swarovski. That's where I bought all of my wedding jewelry. It's some nice bling without the hefty price tag.

I recently tried on the Helios Desert Glow Ring in the store. My husband said it was nicer than anything at Tiffany. Unfortunately they don't make a size 5, so I'd have to wear a ring guard with it. You can get a lot for your money, as most earrings range from $50-$75, bracelets $100-$130, rings $120-$260, and necklaces $95-$500.

I would also see if there's a Nordstrom Rack near you, because they often sell Swarovski pieces at discounted prices.

I recommend Swarovski as well! I bought my wedding jewellery from there too

I agree!

IMO: NEVER Mikimoto! Seriously! You can get pearl studs that are the exact same quality (if not nicer) for waaaaaaaaaaay less!
