Is this morse code bracelet a rip-off?

I love this - it's our 12th anniversary soon (silk) so it would be a perfect hint to DH - and I like the idea of having my two DSs' initials.

But is it a rip-off for what is essentially a bit of thread and a few gold-plated beads?

Has anyone got one, can you vouch for the quality?

[NotJustACigar]

Looks lovely and I like the idea but couldn't you make one yourself for about a fiver? Go to any bead shop and they can sell you the stuff. I also think the silk hint to DH is rather subtle to say the least and he would have to have an emotional iq of an absolute genius to get it!

[YouCanCallMeBetty]

Haha - yes it would probably have to be a hint in the form of an emailed link

Can you choose Bored?

I think I'd want to make one myself - just think of the messages you could encode!

[expatinscotland]

Yes! It's gold-filled. Gold-plated, gold-filled is a rip off.

Overpriced shite tat. Ask if they do one saying 'we saw you coming'.
Be a nice craft idea for pre teen girls to do one afternoon, though.

Ronald - I should really have 'knackered' but I'd need a whole necklace for that.

Reckon this one's better value...

This is like those knitted necklaces sold for £26 by Not on The High Street, but going for £2.50 on Ebay.

I like this although it has nothing to do with love

[NotJustACigar]

Betty that John Lewis one - call me pedantic but I could never buy something that had a grammatical error in its name! There are plenty of morse code ones on etsy going for around £20.

[YouCanCallMeBetty]

I know cigar I'm struggling with that one too - between you and ME!

[Capitola]

I am at 'Between you and I'!

[NotJustACigar]

Dreadful, isn't it? Perhaps they think it sounds posher that way

[HappyHippyChick]

My first thought was that it was a combination of exotic and esoteric. But I could be wrong...
