The present I wanted to bloody buy today?!?

I'm shattered- I kid you not, today Ive been to a market, a summer fĂȘte, two high streets and an indoor shopping centre and still not got it and now I want to scream.

It's a present for a great friend, something I know he will love- perhaps they don't exist?!? I need a green jade bracelet, a mans one. Hopefully small stones and a leather band or maybe even silver.

So, AIBU to have expected to have easily got one?

More importantly- does anyone have an idea where I can get one? Or (even better) does anyone here make jewellery and could do me one that I can buy? Happy to pay a fair price for a nice hand made item.

If not, then I give up. :(

It depends on how long you have to find it, i buy stuff like that on ebay, mainly.

Thanks guys! Yes, like the one on Amazon. Preferably with leather strap rather than silver. Was hoping to spend about 20 quid though. Although I realise it costs more as it's silver.

I did try eBay but nothing with a leather band, all cheap tibetan silver from china. I need it in te next seven days so wouldn't reach me in time anyway.

Don't you have a bead shop near you? I bet you do they seem to be popping up everywhere. Go in and buy the beads and a thin leather strap.

Have you tried etsy.com You can even put a request on there for someone to make what you want to order.
