I am looking to buy my partner a bracelet for her 21st. I am looking to get her something for under £100. She has told me that she would like a silver one but with not too much to it such as charm bracelets which was my original idea. I want to get her one that will last a while and can be something special to her. When I asked her to look for ones she liked she picked this one

I'm not sure if this would be any good or not. I feel she is only looking for relatively cheap ones which will end up not lasting.
Which are the best places to get a really good bracelet but without paying crazy money for a brand?

You might not stretch to a bracelet but will certainly be able to get a Tiffany heart on a chain.
Tiffanys is classic and always loved and treasured. I wear mine on a leather thong (my daughter broke the chain years ago) and never take it off. It means the World to me.
They have a website (sorry posting from phone so can't link for you just Google) and a store in,London.
Pandora is outrageously overpriced and charge you £4o for something you can buy elsewhere for £5...
...if it was me i'd go to an actual silversmith and see what they could offer me in my price range, there are plenty of websites for silversmiths that have beautiful unique designs which would be far nicer than some generic stuff from a franchise.
Links are a reliable brand.
And I also think this Cachet one is pretty.
John Lewis will repair or replace if there's a fault, so it's a good place to buy.
Personally, I'd buy second hand, and the older the better. I merely remark they are trendy. And really not that expensive.
This. You like what you like! If she likes that one then it doesnt make sense to buy a different one.
Basically this. The Links 'sweetie' bracelet is great and within budget.

i realised that
Not on the High Street has some lovely stuff. She has pointed you in the direction of the one she likes. If you think that is too cheap I would try and find something in a similar vein. I would avoid the Pandora ones and the sweetie style ones. If she liked those styles she would have pointed you in the direction of that style. Pandora and the sweetie style are ubiquitous, perhaps she prefers a bit of originality.
Etsy is good, but you have to buy carefully, and make sure you buy from a UK seller so that you avoid customs charges. Etsy can be a bit homespun. I have bought a lot from both sites.
That is so pretty, I might treat myself one of these days.
My wife goes mad for Tiffany jewellery, especially their diamonds. I bought her a necklace with a small diamond cross pendant on it last Christmas.
That is really pretty and classy. Some of the others that have been linked are a bit naff. You can't go wrong with a simple, classic design like this.
I love Not on the High Street!
Only problem is its nothing like the gf had picked out!
I can understand the op wants to buy something special, but surely if she likes something then thats it? Or is he going to turn round and tell her that her tastes are cheap and tacky in his opinion?
Good luck with that op
That's lovely. I might get that for my girls.
Op I've got Links and Pandora stuff and never wear it. It's sitting in my jewelry box getting dirty and tarnished because everyone is wearing it. Just saying.
I don't know a woman who doesn't melt at the sight of a Tiffany box. Their design is timeless and unique. And any of their pieces will be loved for a lifetime imho.
