Well its now for sale. It's very pretty, it looks like high quality, and its not cheap. I could never wear it though. I'm sorry the wolf has to go. That's just my opinion (but it's a strong one). Would anyone like to try to convince me otherwise. (I'm not trying to challenge here, really. If there is a convincing argument for her to keep the, trying not to say dumb, wolf on, then I would like to hear it.) Click on the picture for a larger view.

I hope this isn't offensive, but of course the wolf has to stay on! It's a significant part of Bella. Jacob will always be a part of her and that's what it represents. It wouldn't mean anything with just the "diamond". It wouldn't represent Bella. Even in the prom pictures Stephenie takes they are with both Jacob and Edward. If I saw a person on the street wearing the bracelet with just the diamond on it, I would think it's nice but have no idea that it actually meant something. If I saw someone wearing a bracelet with a wolf and a diamond, I would know exactly what it was. I still love Edward!
Okay, okay, now I am trying to look at the big picture here. Well let me back up. If the wolf was just a representation of Jacob, Bella's good friend, who she loves, but is not in love with, then why keep it on (I'm talking about Bella's real bracelet, not a fan-trinket). But since this friend actually helped defend Bella and those she loves most, from their mortal enemies, risking his own life and the lives of the people he loves most, then okay keep the wolf on. But for me it has to have that huge significance. It just would seem out of place to me to have Bella going around, married to Edward, with a memento from Jacob around her wrist. It would look nice in a little bag tucked away in her cedar chest, but wear it, really, as is?
So that is how I can accept the fact that she could wear it. Savings lives, siding with your natural enemies, that is significant stuff Jacob did, I must say.
I've always had a hard time believing though, that you can be good friends with a guy who isn't your husband. But of course Jacob sort of ends up being a comrad of Edward's too.
Sorry, starting to ramble. Somebody rescue me here.
Anybody else going to add?
Oh and for the record I think it would be gorgeous on Bella, with just the 5k diamond. She would know exactly what that represented:
"It's hard and cold." He laughed. "And it throws rainbows in the sunlight."
"You forgot the most important similarity," I murmured. "It's beautiful."
"My heart is just as silent," he mused. "And it, too, is yours."
I twisted my wrist so the heart would glimmer. "Thank you. For both."
(p.s. if I sound grumbly or too serious, I don't mean to be. Jill you are not being offensive at all, and I hope I'm not either.)
Also wanted to clarify, I wasn't suggesting that someone buy the bracelet and then remove the wolf. I just personally couldn't buy or wear the bracelet as is.
I have been thinking I would like a bracelet with one beautiful crystal heart on it. It would actually have to be a crystal since I can't afford diamonds.
I too would know what is represents!
Wish me a Merry Christmas with that Santa!
You guys are funny, I love what both of you wrote and enjoyed a nice laugh while reading it. I can understand what you guys are saying. I initially want to bash Jacob, but I'm also really in a "Jacob is good" mode right now because I'm trying to get through Eclipse and not have my heart broke again. I truly do like Jacob, I just wish Bella didn't love him quite so much. Like it says in the end of Eclipse, they can't really be friends anymore now that they know how they feel about each other. Just thinking about all this right now is giving me all sorts of flutters. I have to keep the right mind set or I will fall apart while reading again. I may comment more later when I've thought it through or while I continue with book 3. How fun they are starting to sell stuff like that now. I still would love a T-shirt that says "she runs with vampires." Suzanne, how about that idea we talked about?
I'll hint to Dave that I know something he ought to get you for a gift MA :) Just kidding of course.
Ok, so as a fan trinket of couse I think the wolf should stay, depending on what your intentions are. If it's just a symbol of Edward & Bella's love then just having the heart is ok for me. But, really, I mean, Jacob is the one that GAVE her the bracelet. She has a ring from Edward and she could put the diamond heart on a necklace or something else. But it's kind of a slap in the face to Jacob for Bella to wear the bracelet without the wolf charm on it.
Jill I like it. For Bella let's put the heart on a necklace. Then keep the bracelet as a keepsake. Compromise, right?
Of course Jacob gave her the bracelet before she broke his heart. I have such a hard time seperating their friendship from thier stronger feelings. Of course Bella only realized those feelings, or shall we say acknowledges that she could have deeper feelings, for a brief moment. Still that realization and then letting Jacob know her feelings will never change for Edward, makes Bella not want to wear it anymore(remember she never makes a choice, she never considers choosing Jacob really, she just sees a vision of what her human life could be like, but she doesn't consider choosing that human life). Can that symbol ever bring anything but pain to her? The pain of hurting Jacob and hurting Edward in the process?
I could really get going here, but I am going to try and not take it so seriously.
But you are right. She can't turn it into an Edward only bracelet, of course. Hmmm, so conflicted here.
