Here is my David Yurman 5mm Pave Diamond Cable Buckle Bracelet. I wear it every single day, and I LOVE it! It retails for $525, but I had a gift card.

What a fun thread! I love all of the fabulous, vintage finds!

Great idea for this thread! Here are a couple pieces I got early on before becoming more knowledgeable from PS. I still love them and wear them!

The ring is from eBay and is made by LeVian (alexandrites); love the shape! The bracelet I picked up new from a local jewelry store who was having a sale on a sale (chrome diopside and citrine).

Bought for under 500, or WORTH under 500? Very different things. Which one matters for this thread?

Either one is fine with me. I just selected a lower limit so we could share our less expensive items and our bargains!

This thread confirms my long-held belief that PSers a) are excellent bargain hunters, and b) have incredibly good taste! These pieces are all absolutely beautiful.

There are some really great looking stackers on db right now that are listed in this price range. A diamond one. Blue sapphires. Pink sapphires etc. all from IDJ according to seller.

stic, I hope you don't mind me asking, but when did you buy that Sonia B ring at the $500 price range? I have been admiring that ring (either as a half or full eternity) for a while now on this forum and another, and wanted to contact DK for a quote, but am too scared that he will quote something that is outside of my budget (which has been eaten up by complex health problems - won't go there!)

Love all these pieces! I love finding 'deals' for my wish list, or to reward myself.

My favorite under $500 are my charm bracelet charms--I have received all as gifts, and I love how creative and personalized charms can be. Here are the most recent additions to my collection--none of which have been attached to my bracelet yet...

The shoe was a gift from a friend who is also my former boss. We worked in fashion, and we repped several footwear lines. I thought it was an adorable gift.

The others are from FI. He found the firetruck on ebay--its not the best quality--the detail is poor, but it was a very cute and thoughtful gift. He was so excited to give me the badge--he found a jeweler who makes perfect little replicas. He had his badge# engraved on it too. Very sweet. The dog tag is to commemorate my dog, Tuffy, who had passed about a month before my bday. I'm not sure if I will ever put it on my bracelet--I have it displayed on his box of ashes with a photo of him next to it <3

It's probably a good thing I wear a 6.75--I would totally buy all those stackers if they fit!!!

 

[tuffyluvr]

LOVE your stack, and love that you got such good deals! You are quite an impressive bargain huntress

Here are some of my under $500 purchases...

first up- from Sarahbear on DB...love them more than I thought I would! Thank you Sarah!

Next is the purple amethyst/rhodolite halo earrings I purchased recently. Really like them!

Next is a diamond kitty necklace. You know I had to get that lol.



Sorry for the crappy pics. One of these days I will get a real camera but not sure that would help my photography skills.

 

[missy]

Last one is a blue topaz necklace my dh got me when we were dating many years back.

 

[GemFever]

missy, love your hair!

And also the amethyst rhodolite earrings Could you post some more pics of them?

OK I snapped a few more pics. Hopefully they came out OK.

My favorite silver piece is this key. It's reasonably large and I wear it on a long silver ball chain so it hangs just below my bust. I got it a few years ago, I think I paid between $100-$150 (wholesale) for both the key and chain and have recently started wearing it again. It's very handy with very simple casual outfits - just adds a little something.
