So this year my SO asked me to pick a couple things to choose from my Tiffany’s.
I think I want a ring or bracelet that’s $500 or under. I have the silver bead bracelet with the blue heart already, but that’s it for Tiffany’s jewelry.

Any suggestions?! What would you guys pick? :)

How about the 1837 with Montana sapphires?

A simple small bead silver Tiffany & Co. necklace at 18 inches with two charms on it... The black high heeled shoe with Tiffany enamel blue sole charm and the Tiffany and Co. enamel shopping bag charm. Might be slightly over the $500 mark, but your worth it. I am sure your S.O. thinks so as well. If you are going to the NYC Flagship location, go to the Tiffany Café for brunch while you decide.

I like the Atlas Open Ring. That's $260.

However, with a $500 budget, I would probably pick out something in gold like the Graffiti Love Ring or the Graffiti X bracelet.

I like the love ring but I also don’t want to ask for something that’s exactly at the maximum lol. I feel weird doing so.
What do you think of the T ring in silver?
I don’t have a big jewelry collection so I would like a timeless piece

That's a tricky one... it's like when going out to dinner with a group of people, and you want and order steak and lobster with shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, and a few drinks and everyone else orders chicken and 'The House Flat Beverage' (tap water). You are totally prepared to pay for what you ordered, but now realize at the end of the meal, the bill will be split... and you have that weird feeling in your heart, but tummy satisfied. Etiquette deems that you order something inexpensive or mid range... but that's not what you want to have. The best advise... know your audience and go with your gut.

HI Miss Christine!
What an exciting choice for you :) merry Christmas (happy holidays) :)
There is a section on the tiffany website which has a section of items $500 or under. It might be fun to take a look?

What about the ball ring? It says its $200 on the tiffany website. It might go with your ball bracelet nicely? The matching drop earrings are $285 (you could get both for $485 haha ;)). It might be too matchy, and it may not be in your personal style either.

For the question " what would you pick" - looking at the <$500 list - there are so many amazing things in there that I could buy (and have bought) myself haha.
Personally, id probably get something quite different from what I had already, as to match with different outfits. Like the Tiffany T smile bracelet for $250. One of the lacquer bangles for $465. Or something from the graffiti collection in gold or rose gold $465-$500.
Of course it depends upon your style and what coloured metals you like (Ag/RG/Yg).

Wishing you the best of luck! Such a fun choice :)

I bought the ball earrings, bracelet and necklace for my Wife years ago, and she still gets rave reviews. Can't go wrong with that choice... great choice by the way.

Thanking you in kind. I am told by many that I am a great gift giver, Tiffany & Co has a great new service where they hand engrave symbols on certain pieces... for Christmas, I picked the sideways heart pendant with the hand engraved T&Co coffee cup with steam coming out of it... it is symbol '756' it's really cute. it is on a small beaded 18 inch chain. Look into it for your next purchase, and a fun piece... especially for travel... definitely will be a conversation starter. Plus, she is a different person without her coffee... lol. Over the years I bought my Wife tons of Tiffany jewelry and I decided to start getting creative with purchases for her.

I understand not wanting to max out the budget but I would try to find something under $500 made of gold, coated steel, enamel, etc. because I hate how Tiffany silver tarnishes.

I just got the Tiffany Smile earrings in gold and I absolutely love them for every day earrings. They’re different.

Very true... silver does tarnish. If silver is the preference... there's ways to bring back a nice tarnish free shine, and sometimes the patina glow... Tiffany & Co. can take care of it for you at no cost.
