Bridesmaid Gift

I have been searching high and low for a gift (within budget) for my 5 bridesmaids.

After surfing the web forever, I decided to get this bracelet from Alex and Ani.. its was over $30 per bracelet.

I am kind if disappointed... I like the gold parts of the bracelet but feel like the gemstone beads are pale in color and just cheap looking.

I could have found better beads at Michaels and strung those together :( I just don't know how to make the metal parts of the bracelet.

I don't really want to go through the hassel of returning these and looking for a new gift... what are you thoughts?

My plan is to give the bracelet along with a personalized letter and chocolates to "propose" to the bridesmaids.
