Everyone on this site is so supportive and always gives the best advice. I have learned so much from everyone by being part of this site.

I currently purchased the Tiffany bead set (bracelet, necklace and earrings). I mainly purchased it for the bracelet. I had been avoiding buying it because where I work so many of the ladies have it and I was hoping to find something different. In the end after looking at other bracelets and reading about the benefits of bead set on this site, I realized its a versatile set so I purchased it.

I got the set last week and I haven't worn it yet, then my DH buys me the love bracelet. (I can't believe he bought it because he didn't seem interested in it.) So now I'm wondering should I keep the Tiffany bead set given that I mainly bought it for the bracelet, or do I keep it because it's a great set. I don't think I'd stack the bracelets especially at first because I am trying to avoid scratches on the love bracelet for as long as I can.

What do you think? Should I keep the Tiffany set?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

What a sweet DH!

With the Tiffany increase close upon us I would make sure you don't want it! Regret may cost you 10% later haha.

If it were me, I'd return the earrings and necklace. Keep the bead bracelet. Even if you don't stack them now, it's an option for the future and you can always wear them separate now. It sounds like the earrings and necklace dont seem to call to you like the bracelet. There is no rule that says you need the whole set. But I'm also not a fan of matching jewelry sets and like it to be a little mixed.

Also.... Pictures please! :)

if you can only keep one, LOVE bracelet hands down. if you can keep both bracelet and set that would be great since you think it's a versatile set. i love matchy matchy sets!!!

I would keep the bead bracelet because it is great for layering, bring back to necklace and earrings and wear your gorgeous love bracelet!! congratulations on your new bracelet!

I have the bead earrings and love them (the 10 mm ones) and wear them quite often. Having said that, it doesn't sound like you're very excited to have the earrings & the necklace, but that you really love the bead bracelet. I'd probably return the earrings & necklace, but keep the bracelet. You say that you love it, but that you put off buying it b/c all of your coworkers own it. I'd keep it and break it out on weekends, etc, and with the price increase coming up, better to own it now, versus buy it now at a more expensive price.

I am lucky because I can keep both.

It's not that I don't like the Tiffany bead set I actually like it especially if I am wearing a suit for work (the necklace looks great). However, I feel like everywhere I go I see someone wearing one or something similar (especially where I work). Typically, I like buying things that are a little different that is why I am questioning whether I should keep it. However, most Tiffany pieces are everywhere but I find some are more popular than others and the bead bracelet is one of the more popular pieces. For example I have the onyx bead set which I like because I wear a lot of gray and black but I also like it because I don't see others wearing it even though I know they sell lots of it.

Your advice has helped a lot to make me realize how great the bracelet is for layering and the versatility of the set. With the potential price increase I'll probably regret it if I return it.

Regarding the love bracelet, I can't believe how quickly I got used to wearing it. I thought it might be a problem, but it hasn't bothered me to not take it off. I just love it, my husband thinks I'm crazy because I keep thanking him for it.

Regarding photos, I have to figure out how to do that. I will try to see if I can do it.

Thanks again.

I have the set and can offer a few thoughts. I have gotten a lot of use out of the bracelet and the earrings in the past. I RARELY wear the necklace unless I am dressing up. Now that I'm working in an office environment, I am so glad I have this set. I can wear them all together to spice up an otherwise bland outfit, or I can wear just one piece. I normally don't like to wear "sets" of jewelry but I think in a professional setting it can be nice.

I also really like "stacking" with the bead bracelet. It just occurred to me a couple of weeks ago but it looks really good with a few of the Tiffany charm bracelet type bracelets.
