Looking for a bangle like this one

[erica]

Hi all,

It''s been a long time since I posted here. I''m hoping other forum goers will be able to help out. Sorry if this post is in the wrong section. A very good friend of mine is getting married soon and I wanted to gift her a bangle bracelet similar to this one. I thought it would be a good idea for her "something blue", as well as personal wedding gift. The one here is white gold with blue topaz stones, it is a designer piece, and out of my price range - about $600. I''m looking to find something similar for around $200. After looking around for a few days, I''m wondering if that is even possible

If anyone has any ideas or alternatives - please post! Thanks so much.

Found it in yellow gold for $450 http://store.united-wings.com/view_item.php?id=14462958&cust=1

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately $450 is still too much

I also think my friend would prefer white gold to yellow. If I can''t find it with blue topaz, I wouldn''t mind it being something pink (she likes pink and blue) - whether it be pink tourmaline or something like that. I guess I should also say that it needs to be real gemstones - as I don''t like the idea of faux stones.

Oooh, this is my favorite yet! For $254.

Aaand another variation...here for $175

Okay, this is the last one I''m going to post, since you probably just wanted a bangle anyway, and I should get back to work!

It''s $230.

It''s not blue topaz, but it is blue from Fred Meyer

Thanks for all your research albicocca!

All the items you posted are lovely, and I will have to consider the first bangle you posted. I can''t believe you found so many blue topaz bracelets/bangles. I''ve been hunting for a few days online and I haven''t even found that many! I should also mention that I''m really hoping to find a bangle bracelet versus just a bracelet. This is because my friend will be wearing many bangles on her wedding day (Indian-American fusion wedding). I want her to be able to wear this with all her bangles and maybe have it be her something blue for her wedding day.

Are you interested in Half-Bangle with diamonds? in my research for you i saw one and is was less that $200.
Froogle is helpful in this type of research.

I''m certainly open to the idea of diamonds instead of a colored stone - I was just thinking that it would be impossible to get anything in diamonds for under $200

Ah, you have a real reason to want a bangle! I sort of figured you did from your phrasing, but then I just kept coming across nice topaz bracelets and thought you MIGHT be interested, so I might as well try.

That diamond one just posted looks great, though, or I''m sure you''ll find something lovely! Good luck!

Thank you! Thank you! I definitely like the line style of diamond bangles you posted.


Thanks for the help everyone! Helpful and knowledgeable people is what makes this forum such great place!
