Hi everyone,

I would need help choosing two bracelets for my girlfriend. I'll get them custom done by a jeweller so, solely based on overall aesthetical considerations (branding, craftsmanship and some details aside), I would greatly appreciate if you guys could sort the following bracelets from your most to least favourite. Your voice counts !

Category 1 (bangle) :

  1. Tiffany 1837 (in yellow gold) : http://www.tiffany.ca/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=GRP05640
  2. Cartier Trinity : http://www.cartier.com/collections/...acelets/b6013301-trinity-bracelet-small-model
  3. Dior Bois de Rose : http://www.dior.com/couture/en_gb/j...bois-de-rose-bracelet-in-18k-pink-gold-6-1394
  4. Something else?
Category 2 (beads) :

  1. David Yurman spiritual beads bracelet : http://www.davidyurman.com/women/br...beads-black-onyx-bracelet-with-black-diamonds
  2. Shamballa Jewels (with or without the macramé over the beads?) : http://www.shamballajewels.com/jewelry/bracelets/black-diamond-bracelet-3
  3. Something else?
So far, I'm personally heading for 3, 1 ,2 in category 1 and 1, 2 in category 2 (with the black onyx beads replaced with Tahitian pearls).


Thanks.

A lovely gift, I would say 2,1 category 1, I am not too fond of no 3, as I have a trinity bracelet of course I love it, but the Tiffany is lovely too.

1,2 in category 2

Now this is my taste and of course I don't know what your girlfriend likes or not, good luck, and happy holidays!

Thanks. The Tiffany bracelet is SO overpriced for a bracelet made out of an unknown metal... Bare in mind I'd have it custom done in yellow gold, so I'm just asking which design you prefer. Also, please let me know which one of the David Yurman or Shamballa Jewels you prefer. She already has a Shamballa style bracelet with plastic-ish beads and love it; I wanted to get her something nicer and the David Yurman mechanism with a metal chain looks a step forward the macramé as well.

Just some information for you - I had one of the David Yurman bead bracelets - it continually loosened on my wrist. I bought it from Neiman Marcus - took it back and they gave me a replacement, since they thought it must have been defective - but the same thing happened with that one.

I took it back and got something else. Love the design, but I think there is an inherent flaw in the mechanism.
