Special bracelet or necklace for 16th

i am not a jewellery person! DD does wear necklaces and earrings. She had a van cleef 4 leaf clover knock off necklace for a while but it broke as an indication of the style she likes. Sadly my budget is in the hundreds not thousands so she won’t be getting one of those.

I know Pandora bracelets were popular a few years back but is that still the case? I want to get her something a bit special and that will last.

any suggestions gratefully received!!

My daughter really liked Alex monroe jewellery at that age.

Monica someone I forget but her jewellery is

Beautiful- and I’m a van cleef lover!

Monica Vinader?

DD likes silver/white gold and a bit of drama which I’m not very good at tbh!!!

this is nice and she loves the colour turquoise. What do you think?

I bought mine a Return to Tiffany silver heart necklace when she was 16. Two years later she still wears it all the time, and she asked for the matching bracelet for her 18th.

Budget will be higher for 18th as she will hopefully be less likely to loose it by then. Otherwise she’s waiting for her 21st!!

This is nice but doesn’t scream special to me. If your budget is in the hundreds I think you could get something nicer. But if it’s really less than £100 I think it’s a good option as what will make it special to her is the fact it’s from her lovely mum

budget isn’t an issue - although not van cleef budget. I am torn on price because she could lose her head if it wasn’t attached. I want her to wear it without stress

I think this is really pretty and the shape is similar to the clover necklace.

Pandora charms aren't popular with teenagers anymore, but their other jewellery is, especially the rings.

You could also look here: https://www.abbottlyon.com/en-ie I got my nieces necklaces from there that they wanted last Christmas, but they might not be special enough for what you are looking for.

I like Van cleef (one day I’ll have the real thing in my dreams).

I also like a brand called Missoma. You see it in Selfridges & Harvey Nicholls.
