I LOVE my bead earrings!  They are super classic and go with anything.  I wear mine all the time.

Honestly, I wouldn't want any of those.  I went through this same thing of figuring out what to get my girls and the relatively inexpensive everyday/ generic jewelry from Tiffany is so overpriced.  You can get a full set of earrings, necklace and bracelet that is identical from reputable jewelers for the same price as what you would spend on it at Tiffany. 

If you love pearls, go to thepearloutlet.com and get a full set of larger pearls that comes with an actual apprasial versus a very small pair of pearls earrings from Tiffany that doesn't come with an appraisal and is very overpriced.  Same thing goes for the bead earrings, but get them from Blue Nile and get the largest size... and get the whole set!

One of the things I got my girls was a pair of 10mm 18K yellow gold bead stud earrings.  They were $160/ pair at Blue Nile with free shipping and no tax.  At Tiffany, a SMALLER pair was $400 for the exact same thing AND LESS GOLD. Do the sterling silver bead earrings at Tiffany at least have a gold post?  Many people get allergic reactions to sterling silver posts.  And I guarantee you that when the girls wear them, no one will know they are or aren't from Tiffany.  And, if they were, they wouldn't even be 18K gold at that smaller size and much higher price.

I'm not saying buy from some ghetto place or that opening the Robin's Egg Blue box isn't nice, it isn't worth the expense for what you get, regardless of if its sterling silver or gold. 

I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud and I think that you sound like a very generous bride, I just don't think what you would be purchasing is worth the price. Maybe if they were in solid white gold, but with sterling silver that tarnishes so easily and for well over $100 for each gift?

One thing I just do what to emphasize is that I think you are a VERY generous bride and while my comment above may come across as harsh, it certainly isn't meant to be so.  I just wanted to get the point across that you could get MORE and MORE BEAUTIFUL things for your ladies for either the same price or cheaper. 

Another example, if you bought the bead earrings in the 8mm size you are interested in from Blue Nile in 18K WHITE GOLD rather than Tiffany Sterling Silver, it would be the same price... well technically slightly less since BN doesn't charge tax or shipping.

Best of luck to you lady, no matter what you decide to do!

@ Patty, I see your point.  My girls and your girls are in completely different situations.  I remember when I was still a student, I loved having Tiffany jewelry that was clearly Tiffanys.  Now that I'm older, have a job, and can afford other things, I buy more expensive jewelry, which is typically more classic in style such as 11mm pearl stud earrings or gemstone stud earrings with a halo of small diamonds around each one.  If I was to go for something specifically for the name and because when you see it, you know exactly what it is, I go for David Yurman jewelry now.  Same thing goes for my love of Louboutin shoes. In terms of purses, I don't like getting anything that has a label all over it, so I wouldn't be the type to get the Coach purse anymore.  Auy purse I buy now is all leather and while I do have some designer brands, you wouldn't know it unless you recognized the style or looked at the tag inside.  My point is, my tastes have changed and I think this is a direct result because of my profession where this is more the norm for women to have/ wear and also my financial situation. 

Each of my bridesmaids are almost 30, well established in their careers and make good salaries on their own.  For them, I wouldn't want to get them the sterling silver Tiffany stamped item because I don't think they would even wear it.  I would rather get them things that are better quality, such as solid gold, that I know that they would like an would also wear at this point.  For this reason, I went with 10mm 18K yellow gold ball studs, and a 18K yellow gold and agate gem necklace among other things.  Luckily, I also only had 3 girls to buy for so I was able to spend more on each one!

I think in the end, what it comes down to is what you think your girls would appreciate the best.  If I got married when the sterling silver Tiffany type jewelry was what I loved and what my girls loved, that is what I would get them and I know that they would be thrilled with it!  We just aren't into this type of thing anymore.  If you think your girls would love the Tiffany jewlery that is clearly Tiffany's, then get something that you can tell just by looking at it is clearly Tiffany's.

Best wishes!

if its tiffanys im sure they will love it! id like the jewlery over the keychain..

My vote is the studs pearl or silver are cute

recognizably tiffanys and adorable to the max, my sister and I wear ours all the time, am wearing it right now at work actually

I think as long as the girls are fairly young they will appreciate the gift.  They might or might not wear it a lot but they will still get a kick out of knowing they have piece from tiffanys. Sure it's overpriced but it is well made and lovely and with the above letters you can at least say that you're paying for the design.  :)

I'm not a fan of pearl studs and of the choices above I'd go with the teardrop pendant or the bead earings.

Also, how about including a gift reciept?
