I would forget about stones, since you say weight is a factor - even the
heaviest gemstones are about half of the weight of sterling silver, and even
lighter when compared to gold or platinum (ideally, platinum would be best
because of the weight, but for 200$ you can't even steal a heavy piece of
it). Stones are also not practical for everyday use. As for design, I'd go
for bangle/cuff styles cause if the piece doesen't lie exactly on your skin
(as in some watches and especially bracelets) those styles look more
compact, more uniform and have less tendency to "fly around the wrist" +
they are less eye-catching. Cause of the last thing mentioned also avoid
polished metals, better go for brushed finishes. For the price you can,
besides steel watches/bracelets, go for gold plated and maybe even gold
filled models, both of which are good for watches/bracelets, but not so for
everyday wear (gold will wear off quickly). Well, this sums up my thoughts.
Good luck!
