What fabulous thing can I ask for? 50th birthday

Opposite to the other thread I'm using my upcoming birthday as an excuse to get out of a rut. I'm buying less clothes but better quality, have gotten my eyebrows and teeth sorted, I'm due a hair restyle next week. So I'm thinking jewellery thar can be worn everyday that looks simple and stylish. Any ideas/links would be amazing. €500 budget. Or maybe some other ideas outside of jewellery? All ideas welcome!

Should have added, gold or silver is a goer but I don't really like anything too chunky. I'm pale with reddish brown hair, 5 foot nothing, 9 stone.

@Feckinlego Is this too delicate - it would be for me personally but I do think it is elegant if it suits you https://www.tiffany.co.uk/jewelry/necklaces-pendants/elsa-peretti-diamonds-by-the-yard-pendant-GRP02775/. They have quite a few pendants in SS for £500 is but you may not like Tiffany

How about some antique jewelry for something really unique?

This is what I'd do. Find a nice antique gold piece. You can get hallmarked pieces that are guaranteed to be gold/gemstone.

I got a lovely Ferragamo Gancini reversible brown/black leather belt for my big birthday. I would never spend that much on a belt myself but I love everything about it - finishes off an outfit perfectly, doesn’t scream designer and the fact I can wear either colour appeals to my sensible side 😂

So, @Feckinlego … ???

If it was me, I would like an Elsa Peretti red lacquered bean pendant, but it seems to have sold out. I'd like the big gold one or the jade one too, but those are way out of my budget.
