I've wanted an 18K charm bracelet forever. I wanted a substantial one that had a little bit of weight to it, and I also wanted one that I could wear by itself (sans charms). I didn't want it to be too plain or have it be obvious that it was a charm bracelet without charms! Oh, and I also prefer an 8" chain for comfort (additionally, my hands and wrists are arthritic and won't be getting any smaller).
I looked and looked, and found that gold prices are insane. Then I looked at BlueNile and found one I loved. With a Mother's Day 10% off coupon, I purchased this. Considering the price of gold, I didn't find the price on this to be unreasonable. And with the amount my dh has been travelling, I decided I deserve this!:
