    I'm totally torn between these two necklaces.  They are completely different...one is simple and classic, and the other is trendy and fun.  I can adjust the rest of the gifts to accomodate the price difference between the two.  So which would you prefer if you were a bridesmaid?

    I feel like I'd be able to wear the Tiffany one more. They're both pretty!

    I think they are both beautiful. I voted for #1 as it appears that it would be able to go with many different outfits and colors. More versatile. As a BM I would be ecstatic about either.

    I personally love the bottom one....but some girls would prefer the top one since its more classic and can be worn w/ a lot more.  Would you be willing to get the girls each something different depending on their style/taste?  Or would that mess up the rest of the gifts/$$ situation?

    Personally for me, I love the pearl/flower necklace more but I think it depends on each girl's personal style...And to be fair, I do really like the Tiffany's necklace as well...Would it be possible for you to determine which of your girls would prefer each necklace and then give what you feel is the right necklace for the right girl? Just a thought, since the gifts def don't all have to be the same...

    They would probably get more use out of the Tiffacy one.  But I do love both.  I voted Tiffany.

    I like the Tiffany, but personally I'd do a different one for each girl.  There's several in the same price range (if not less) than the bow.

    Two is really pretty, but it is definitely a "look." One is classic. I'd always rather classic, especially if I am not picking it out myself.

    I'm not a big fan of either.  I personally wouldn't get my wear out of a necklace with a bow on it.  I'd go for something simple from Tiffany's though.

    I definitely don't mind getting different necklaces but I'd rather get ALL Tiffany's or ALL costume jewelry.  Besides the $50 price difference, I don't want anyone feeling like they got cheaped out because they didn't Tiffany's.  Even though I think that second necklace is gorgeous, they won't know how much was spent on it.

    Thanks for the thoughts though!  keep em coming!

    I have to be honest I dont think I would be thrilled about either. Or rather, Id be happy to be getting a gift but I cant say I would wear either one ever again. Obviously, you know your girls, so hopefully you know what they would like, but I feel like there are so many other options out there (especially from Tiffanys) that are more versatile. I really like the alphabet charm that Jessica22850 posted and can surely say that I would wear that over and over again! I would say if I had to wear one or the other I would choose the Tiffany one because it is more wearable

    The Tiffany bow one. It's way more versatile, you could wear it with a lot more.

    I suppose it depends on the styles of your girls.

    I love the 2nd one!

    The Tiffany one is beautiful and if I received it as a gift, I would wear it a LOT.  That said, I absolutely do not care for the second necklace and would never wear it.  But, depends on your girls and their style.  The Tiffany bow is really, really nice.

    PS ~ like you said, I definitely would not give some girls Tif and some non-Tif necklaces.  Whatever you do, I would do the same for all as to not instill jealousy or ill will.

    Thank you all for your suggestions and comments.  I picked out a few other Tiffany necklaces that are the same price and I plan on thinking about it in the next few months and deciding which one to get for each girl.  Here are the other ones I chose...

    I think the engraved Tif pendant with each girls initials would be an amazing, timeless gift.

    it depends on the personality.. the tiffany one is definitely more simple modern looking, while the rose necklace would be for people who like antique and be different. I'm a more simple modern so I'd choose the tiffany, while my BM who's way more hip than me would probably go for the rose/pearl.

    i agree with many of the other posts here. I love the second one, but would def be able to wear the tiffany's one more often. I would love to receive either one though

    I gasped with delight at the first one! Of course, that is just my taste, but I think because it is simple and classic, it can go with just about everything. However, the other option is a lovely way of giving your girls something unique by which to remember your wedding.  What do you think your girls would like?

    Ditto FutureMrs.Harless  the other ones you posted from tiffany's are much cuter.  But regardless of what you chose, your bm's are lucky gals!

    I like them, but to be honest I probably wouldn't wear either one of the original choices, but I like the simpler Tiffany necklaces you posted later - I'd actually prefer the pendant with my initial as I am not one for bows and hearts, etc.  I'd say it totally depends on the personalities of your bms!

    The second one is cute and more decorative but the Tiffany's would be more versatile and easier to wear more often.

    i love both but the first is definitely more classic and can be worn over and over with anything. The bottom one could go out of trend much easier and it might not match everyone's taste as easily..

    I like both of them but I think that the top one (Tiffanys) would be more versatile and more likely that all of the bridesmaids would love it.
