I’d like to buy my DD a timeless piece for her 18th- something under $500. Anything popular right now? |
Necklace or nice stud earrings. Everything else will get lost somehow. |
I would go with nice stud earrings |
Pearl earrings from Tiffany. |
We bought a Tiffany silver necklace for our DD. |
Oh God no. 18 year olds don’t want pearls! |
They have been very in style with younger women for quite a while. I work at GW and the women undergrads, and even more so the med students, have all been wearing pearl earrings for several years. I do think it might be on the way out though, as big 80s-style earrings make their way in. We'll see. But at any rate "Oh God no. 18 year olds don't want pearls" is incorrect. |

Costco has lots of pretty things if you don’t need branding. |
I still have the pearl bracelet I was given on my 18th birthday. Pearls go in and out of style, but the thing is, they are never really completely out, and they always come back in. |
If my mother had given me pearl anything for ANY birthday I'd have cried and felt like she didn't know me at ALL. It would have made me question our entire relationship. |
Op here- so it sounds like a no for pearls! But, I looked at Tiffany’s jewelry and are any designs more popular than others? |
Get her birthstone in studs or teardrops. |
She’s an April birthday… Diamonds will be too much! |
This is the one we went with, DD loves it. https://www.tiffany.com/jewelry/necklaces-pendants/tiffany-1837-interlocking-circles-pendant-GRP02386/ |
That’s really pretty and meets the price constraint. I might copy you! |
