Hi Miranda,

I vote for the WF bangle or the hoops but I am biased toward the bangle LOL I have 2 of the 1ct bangles. Not sure if WF makes them custom or smaller but I have the same size wrist as you and it fits me fine doesn''t turn and before I bought mine I asked jcrow about hers and her wrist is a bit smaller than mine and she was nice enough to tell me that she really likes hers and it doesn''t turn either. I''ve had no probs at all with mine they are just super pretty.
The hoops sound gorgeous too you are so lucky I just went to a wedding with FI and there were tons of my least favorite people there and I never thought to ask him for an incentive to go!!

Next time I will thanks for the awesome idea you rock!
Enjoy your bling whatever you get and try to have fun!
Take care

With a little ''incentive'' I can be talked into most things...He knows this!!! Thanks for the tip about the bangle. I don''t worry about it turning as much as where it would sit on my hand. Bracelets bother me when they are really loose. I guess a call to Whiteflash is in order!

HAHA!!! Dart board!!! That''s a great idea! I''d stop driving myself crazy!


I''ve added another thing to the list. A solitaire bezel set pendant. From .5 ct to .7. Does that change any minds?????

Gah, this is complicated enough as it is!!! Stop adding more pretties!!

Seriously, I''d still stick with the band, although the pendant would come in 2nd. I''d be able to appreciate the sparkle on my hands anytime, but I''d hardly ever get to see the sparkle if it''s laying on my chest....unless I have tons of mirrors about--then the two might be tied....

My vote goes to the WF bangle because I love it and I''ve wanted one for awhile! Can you let me know if you find out anything about the sizing? I''ve been wondering about that, as I have about a 6" wrist and I don''t like it when bracelets are too big.

I got a .43 carat H/SI1 bezel pendant from blue nile set in platinum!!! I love it!!!

For $1000? I was pricing .5 ct stones at around $1200. I love your necklace! Thanks for the new idea!

It was under 1k with the strong blue flour! No upgrade policy with BN though, but it was definitely a few hundred cheaper than anyone else with the platinum chain.

I just wanted to chime in to add that I previously spoke with Katie at Whiteflash and she told me they cannot make the bangle any smaller

I love that bangle, but I too have tiny wrists and normal size bangles can slide right off my hand. Maybe if enough of us start asking they will make a smaller version!

That''s a bummer. I wonder if that bangle would feel too big on my 6" wrist.

 

[Stone Hunter]

My honest answer is "I don''t know!" Because I can''t decide how to spend my own money and started my own thread a couple of weeks ago. LOL

Now I have looked at the diamond hoops and they are very nice. But I don''t need them and you can''t see earrings. Which just got me thinking about getting more diamond studs. But nothing larger than what I have is available in that price range.

So I thought about going w/WF with the idea of upgrading...

The ring is nice.

The WF Bangle would be my pick ''cause as you make small talk with those annoying people you could stare at your new bangle! I already have a bangle that I wear every day.

HTH

Gwendolyn - I still love that band...It has moved to the top of the list...Unless I find a great stone that is

snlee and NovemberBride - that is a total bummer! I''ll call WF and tell them the small wristed ladies have united. We need a small bangle!

KC - thanks for the info! I love strong blue!

Stone Hunter - that was my thought. I could gaze upon my little ACAs to take away the pain of enduring some of my least favorite people. I thought about starting with some tiny studs from WF and upgrading, too. While hubby is OK with my neverending thirst for bling, he never likes to hear the word ''upgrade'' - it makes him twitch

!

Well I''m OK with my husband twitching if he doesn''t stand in my way! But my husband doesn''t understand that my interest in jewelry didn''t end once I got my Anniversary ring last year.

Even thought I love it and don''t want to change it.

Tiny studs from WF really wouldn''t give you the instant satisfaction that a bangle would. At this point I''m looking for some instant gratification! LOL

 

[Stone Hunter]

Oh I forgot to add that I recently found the starlight bands -- tiny colored diamonds in a thin band. They look wonderful. I'd like several of them stacked. They would go so well with my colored gemstone rings. I'm off to measure how many mm I have available on my hand.

But I haven't seen them in person.

That''s how my hubby is. I''ve told him that once I have the 2+ ct oval I won''t be so obsessive. He is shocked that I would even want something else since I just got a new ring 2 years ago. He just doesn''t understand.

I don''t think little studs would give me the bang I''m thinking, either.

What are you looking for? Do you have an unpleasant event to attend, too?

Miranda,

Any idea what you''re thinking of getting? When is the wedding?

A few months back, my husband planned to take the kids and me to a party which was going to make me miserable, and I ALMOST tried the "I''ll go if I can get a piece of jewelry or a new outfit," lol, but then he decided not to go after I explained my reasons for not going. I was actually relieved since the people related to the hosts are VERY rude!

lol

I haven''t decided yet. The event isn''t until Sept. so I''m just planning ahead. I love the hosts of the event and would go whether or not DH was open to bribery. A bit of jewelry just sweetens my mood. If I can avoid a certain somebody or a few certain somebodies everything will be fine...If not, my tongue will be bloody from all of my biting it LOL!!!!!

Can you pick up any of the items in a store, or would they all have to ordered online and shipped to you? If so, how much time would you need to allow for that?

Most I could get at my jeweler. I don''t need the piece for the event, I just want something new

 

[lumpkin]

I vote for the bangle, too. I think it''s the wisest investment and the most sparkle for the buck.

Hehehe, fair enough. If it was me, I''d want to wear it to the event so I could wave my hands while talking and watch the people who annoy me follow the sparklies with their eyes. That would definitely make the evening more bearable for me.

Nothing unpleasant. I just have "cash back" on one of my cards and want to use it for bling!
