Necklace for my sister - with poll

My sister is my MOH and only BM. I don't have a ton to spend on her gifts - probably about $200 total - but I want to get her a nice necklace, something she will love and that will remind her of our friendship and bond as sisters. I looked at journey necklaces, and Overstock has a few for $125ish, which would leave me enough money to get her day of jewelry and maybe a $50 spa gift card or something from the coach outlet because she loves coach.

However .. I feel like I want to get her a tiffany necklace. I am waiting on an email from my brother in law for his opinion, but which do you like better? The journey is nice because it can signify our journey as sisters, best friends, confidants, wifes and whatever is to come, including motherhood (she is already a mom). But she loves brand name stuff, had a ton of coach bags but sold them all online about a year ago to make some $$. She would love a tiffany necklace I think. Not 100% sure.

What do you think??? Which ones do you like better?

I like the hearts!
To me the journey necklaces look like a crooked spine. lol
Just my opinion! I'm sure she's love either one!

Be careful with the journey necklace. I have one and love it...but pictures are very deceiving. It's up to you but for that price it could be extremely tiny. I got my sister and MOH a heart necklace from tiffanys...i think it's classic and everyone loves the blue box!!!

I know -- I was looking on overstock and some are small. They have the little ruler thing, and the one I picked is almost an inch from the chain. I'd like it to be an inch, but then it's getting over $150-200, and that's more than I want to spend since I want to get her a few other things too. The ring of hearts from tiffany is $100 which is perfect. I really like that one!

I really cannot decide.

Crashing! :)

I like the jounrey necklace because of the symbolism. I think the ring of hearts is pretty but to me it seems a bit young-like something I would get for a junior bridesmaid as a 'grownup piece of jelwery' if that makes sense.

I like the journey necklace. Although the tiffany necklace and coach bag are very nice, they are trendy and wont be in style forever.

The journey necklace will last forever and has sentimental value.
