When I was 13, my mom gave me the Tiff's Paloma Picasso Loving Heart pendant. For subsequent b-days in my teen years, I was given the matching earrings and a ring (which I lost in college, and my dad replaced with the double heart purchased on Ebay, so it's probably a fakey, but I love it still because it came from my dad who totally doesn't get the blue box thing) :)

I've been wearing the pieces a lot more often lately, I want to finish the set with a bracelet. But - the loving heart bracelet is insanely expensive ($1500) because it has gold hearts (eh) and spending $400 on a Tiffany charm bracelet and loving heart charm seems excessive to me, too. I've found 2 options that I like and fit the budget, so I need some help deciding!

Option A: Blue Nile Charm bracelet with Tiffany Loving heart charm

Option B: Blue Nile faux loving heart

Photos of all to follow.

Here''s the stock photo of the double heart ring (this goes with the BN bracelet a lot more than the pendant, that''s why I''m including it).

Here''s option A - BN charm bracelet:

Still Option A - with Tiffany Loving Heart charm:

Option B - Blue Nile faux hearts:

This is what the original Tiffany looks like.

My hesitations -

is option A too heavy to go with the delicate pendant? If so, I''d loved to be steered toward some different bracelet options.

will option B drive me crazy since it''s clearly a knock-off? I love the style of the continual hearts, but I''m afraid it will be too clearly different from my necklace.

Thanks for your input!
 
Option B actually looks pretty darn close to the Tiffany version - does Blue Nile allow returns? Because you could always send it back if you hate it.
 
I really like option B...its a beautiful braclet - tiff or not!
 
Since your other pieces are actual Tiffany''s, then you need something that is also Tiffany. Go for the charm.

Ditto.. really like option B
 
I LOVE the Blue Nile knockoff and think it would go perfectly with your other pieces! (B)
 
since it''s for sentimental reasons, I''d go with the original tiffany''s.
I know it''s a little more expensive, but I would spend the extra money to get complete the set.

Another option is...to get them both!
