Where is a good place to buy necklaces?

i want somewhere i can buy 2 nice necklaces, but not have to pay too much. my beat friend, who's closer then a sister, moved 2 years ago from Seattle Wa, to Spokane. while i miss her, i personally think that in a way, its strengthened our friendship, because we've kept in touch (talk on the phone almost every day, and each of us have a face-book and a myspace). shes coming to visit this summer, and i want to get her a Best Friend necklace for our birthday (mar 19 and may 27). we've gone to Clair's, but the necklaces always chip, or scratch, and don't last long. any good suggestions?
