14k heart.

[MamaMolly]

ETA: :kisscheek: thanks guys!!! So many pretty things to consider! Keep them coming!

Not Vermeil
Not Gold Filled
Not Electroplated
Not gold over 'base' metal (???)
Not 14K over sterling silver
Not 14 K over brass

I just want to buy a frickin' frackin' 14K yellow gold heart for Lula and Dolly's sitter. Preferably a locket. But can I find one? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :banghead:

We are moving away in the fall, there is every chance we will never, ever for the rest of our lives see her again. She and Lula have a peas-and-carrots bond. I want to give her something lovely to remember them. She is already disparing our leaving. We talk about it some. Her husband talks about it to me EVERY time he sees me, and he doesn't even speak English!!!

So I figured a sweet little 14K gold heart (locket? Maybe? Please? Oh jewelry gods, have mercy!) would be perfect. I'm only finding fake crap. :irked:

How much do you want to spend?

I found this one...

and this one that can be engraved...

Not cheap, but should be what you are looking for...

Awwww, thanks! They have a whole page full! YOU ROCK!!!
I don't think I want a diamond on it, but I like the second one OK. Price is not so much of an issue, but probably under $200 or so. I'd go up to $00 but I don't think Dh would go for it.

I know it sounds like a lot, but she is a friend as well as an employee.

Here's one under $200.00 (http://www.picturesongold.com/products/14k-solid-yellow-gold-heart-locket-p71507.html?utm_source=GoogleBase&zmam=81042592&zmas=2&zmac=17&zmap=71507).

Glad to help!

I also saw this one that looks really high quality, but it is closer to $300.

I understand wanting to shop online, but in this case I would be visiting a local jewelry store. I hope you find something that is just perfect!

Oh I agree, I'd love to find one IRL. That is what drove me to the desperation of a BP ;) I haven't been able to find a 14K gold one IRL to buy. It is all gold-filled-vermeil-fakey stuff. Sooooo annoying. I want to hold it and think about it before I go and spend big money on it.

I don't have anything to add, and I hope you find what you're looking for.

I just wanna know- are you coming back here?!?! (and by here I mean where you used to live, not the BBB ;) )

Thanks, and when I know you guys will know! We are still (STILL!!!!) waiting to find out. :popc1: And we bid in October. Gotta love the Government.

I like all of the ones linked to online, but I would buy one in person if possible in the states the next time you come back if you are coming back before you leave.

I was going to say James Avery as well. You really can't go wrong with them; they make beautiful, classic, well made jewelry, and they have great customer service.
