Where are the bracelets? GBs

I feel like 90% of group buys are rings and pendants. Who else wants bracelets? Am I one of few?

I’d like to see more unique shapes mixed (it gives movement, dynamic) and ombre gemstones. Here are some inspiration photos of bracelets I like. What do you guys think? Is it too niche?! I’m also fine with half & half to make cost more accessible for clients, like in the last photo.

Good YG and Rose plating?

Hi all! What vendors do you recommend for moissanite jewelry made with silver plated in yellow gold that looks GOOD. Not cheesy or super unnatural yellow?

The picture is a disappointing, unnatural rose plated piece from Kuololit (returned) to illustrate what I don’t want.

Aurate bracelet: Keep or return?

I’d like to have more fun with my style by adding colors. I don’t know what suits me, so I don’t want to buy expensive ones yet.

I got this bracelet from Aurate. It’s vermeil and lab stones (pink sapphires, amethysts, garnets and rubies) in different cuts. I like the colors, ombre effect, and movement from different cuts. It’s a cool alternative tennis bracelet. So based on the looks I’d keep it.

Cons: I paid a bit over $500, which I feel silly paying for vermeil. Also, I read a couple bad reviews for Aurate’s quality (bad prongs, missing stones). But couldn’t find much info on them on reddit.

Any thoughts/insights? Maybe you have a recommendation of a source/vendor for this style in either better quality or just cheaper. I tried Kuololit but their YG and Rose plating looks terrible, and also they don’t really have more delicate different cuts. I like Monica Vinader for vermeil. Their plating color is lovely, but their gemstone selection for bracelets is lacking. Not to mention is even pricier than Aurate.

Last two fotos are from Suzanne Kalan, just for inspiration of what I’m looking for.

My baby is always meowing. I can tell by the tone that she is bored and asking to play with the wand. Super persistent. But that’s all she wants. Not pets, not food. Just play, play, play. I get bored playing too much with the wand cause she’s so demanding, I need to hide, intrigue her..if I don’t do a good job of convincingly moving the toy as a prey, she makes more bored sounds! Of stops chasing and starts the “work harder!” meows.

She has other toys she could be playing by herself, but apparently I’m better. Do yours do this too? What are the solutions? For those who have more than one cat, do they still display this behavior or just play with each other?

I can’t have a second cat now, so I need more ideas of how to play with her so I am not also getting bored. How do you entertain your kitties for a long time while also keeping yourself entertained?!
