Periodically the Sundance catalog shows up in my mailbox. Sidebar: If anyone wants to buy me a gift certificate for this catalog, feel free. I love turning the pages and picking out what I'd like to buy, but....I don't. I've never bought one thing from Robert Redford's wish book (yet). I just can't bring myself to pay the outrageous asking prices. For example:
See this beautiful gemstone wrap bracelet for $188:

My mother-in-law bought me this beauty from Etsy for my birthday for $48. The seller is StringofJewels:

You can't see it from this angle but there is a charm with my initial on the side. So...my Simply Saturday advice to you is: The Sundance Catalog is awesome; however, if you fall in love with something on its pages, check out the artists on Etsy. You might find something just as great!
Wow! If those two bracelets were the same color and photographed from exactly the same angle, it would be hard to tell which one was more expensive. That's pretty cool. Your MiL has a good eye.
