Adult Friendship bracelet

[JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome]

I have 3 close friends and we all turn 50 this year. I'd really like to buy us all a bracelet. I was thinking something like this but ideally about a quarter of the price...any suggestions?

No suggestions but what a lovely idea!

Look on Not on the High Street

Also MV have huge sales if you wait,I never buy anything full prive from there.

That’s beautiful. A visual search on Etsy brings up this and a few others.

posting as I’m looking for something similar for a gift myself and your question helped! I’d love to go for the MV one too but it’s out of my budget.

What a lovely idea.

Anything here suitably? I can vouch for the quality of Astrid and Miyu.

Have a look at Abbot Lyon

Lisa angel have some lovely pieces

Could you go to a local jeweler and have something made? Maybe using your birthstones or your school colours etc.

edit; sorry OP just see you said about a quarter of the price!! I’d think about spending a bit extra if you want it to last…. Try Etsy as well!

Nomination with a friend charm?

What a daft gift idea, you're 50, not 10.

That's the sort of thing a 10 year old would say if she's a bit envious.

Would your friends feel comfortable in saying no if they weren’t keen on the idea. It’s not often that a whole group of friends has the same jewellery taste. I think it puts pressure on people to say yes when they might not want to. Could you all agree a budget and then people can choose what they like?

I'm thinking outside the box here, and I don't know how 'crafty' you all are, but have you thought about booking a jewellery making workshop for all four of you so that each friend could create something for herself and have a good time making the items in each other's company? There seem to be jewellery making events all round the country, and they seem to be geared up for adults as well as children.

And what a daft comment! The OP was not asking for an opinion on whether it was a good idea or not. It’s about friendship.

Thanks all some fab ideas.

To clarify I'm going to buy all 4 as gift to all of us from me.

We all have v similar taste and I know will love this.

I and one of the others wear a bracelet stack so would be an addition to that.

You could find a place where you could do a bracelet making workshop together somewhere like this https://classbento.co.uk/beads-bracelet-making-session-london (this one is in London) and you could all make the bracelets together as a joint effort. £43 each if you go for the high quality beads ceramics/crystals etc.

Quarter of the price, similar idea: https://www.johnlewis.com/estella-bartlett-beaded-gemstone-bracelet-multi/p6211927

I’ve no idea about the quality but there are lots of similar styles on Etsy

Lovely idea. These are gorgeous and there is a 30% code on the site that takes them down to about £65 if that's palatable to you OP: https://www.matchesfashion.com/products/Anni-Lu-Tennis-Kinda-beaded-18kt-gold-plated-bracelet-1585383#ref=womens%7Clists%7Css24limited_time_only

That's so lovely and thoughful of you. I love that bracelet, I'm sure they'll adore it.

Mishky do something similar though I’m not sure there are many stockists in the uk.

Alright Scrooge

I love the look of Monica Vinader stuff but 2 sets of earrings and a ring I bought from there all broke. I got free replacements, the customer service was good, but it has put me off from buying anything more
