I have the Venetian and two of the silver beads (8 mm and 10 mm). I would recommend the 8 mm bead bracelet - newer version of the beads and should be $150 USD. The Venetian is nice - my best friend gave it to me several years ago but she only paid about $75 at Tiffany's and now it retails for $150 which I think is crazy! The silver beads are classic but I like the 8 mm size better - I would have bought it first if it had come out earlier than the 10 mm size. I did wear both bead bracelets together which was interesting, but I do like wearing the 8 mm bead bracelet on it's own.
