Default Looking For Nice/Colorful Chips...Higher End

My girlfriend wants to get me a nice set of chips for our anniversary. I have a set of eBay specials (500 piece, 11.5g, red/green/blue/black/white chips) that are okay. But they are cheap - feel like cheap plastic, and they sound really metallic.

The budget is about $250 for a set of chips...I've got a couple of things in mind for what I want.

I don't want a cheesy fake casino/tournament logo on the chips. I've found a lot of neat chips, but then they've got something like "Martini Club Casino" on them. No thanks.

I don't want denominations. Sometimes we play tournaments, where chips have huge values (5/25/100/500/etc, etc), sometimes we play low limit ring games where the chips have real value ($.25/$.5/$1/etc, etc). Denominations just mess that all up.

I don't want the same old boring colors...everyone has the eBay special chip set. I want something a little nicer.

These chips are beautiful:

But...denominations and stupid logo. A little expensive, but it gives you an idea.

These chips look neat too - I like the colors and edge spots..

But...logo and denominations again.

A friend of mine has this set:

Which has a very nice feel/sound to it, but it's pretty much just an upgraded version of the eBay special.

Anyone have any ideas/links? I'm running out of steam on Google [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Or, am I just out of luck in my price range? Is the decision really limited to the eBay special versus ponying up a $1 per chip for something I really want?

I've found these chips:

That I REALLY like, but dang...$500+ for the set. Yee-ouch. I'd like something like these chips (non-denominated, nice look, good quality) but maybe not quite this price range.
