The Queen of England may never have to worry about the price of her jewelry, but for others, the price of a new type of cocktail ring you’ve been eyeing could influence whether or not you buy it. Here’s the good news: affordable doesn’t necessarily mean inferior quality. In fact, the most affordable jewelry brands will provide you with long-lasting quality designs that you won’t regret after your purchase.
Whether your style leans more towards bold, festive earrings or prefers to pair them with a minimalist necklace, there’s a brand that has everything you need. While the term “affordable” may mean different things to different shoppers, this list offers options ranging from $50 to around $300.
Mejuri
Mejuri has a wide range of classic and trendy jewelry, such as pavé hug rings and stackable chunky rings, as well as a wide range of prices, making it a top choice for affordable jewelry. You can buy diamond designs (as low as $80), gold-plated jewelry (like Charlotte hoops), or pure 14K gold. The price is affordable, and the quality is durable.
Studs
Studs is the most popular brand right now, and you can wear these earrings 24/7 without seeing the quality deteriorate. When you do want to change something, you can buy individual earrings and various sets. Studs also offers the option to purchase styles such as the Chunky Square Huggies in single pieces or in pairs for maximum versatility.
Senia
Thanks to Senia’s clever design, old things can be refreshed over and over again. Pieces are mixed, matched and layered to make a little difference every time you wear them. Mercer Huggies are a great place to start and can be worn with chainlinks and hoops to take them from everyday to personal.
Kendra Scott
Born in Texas, Kendra Scott’s brand blends gemstones, shells, and delicate metal designs to create jewelry that’s perfect for years to come. Try a simple pendant necklace like Elisa, which you can pair with other necklaces or wear it alone.
Eliou
Mixed materials, bold colors, and playful shapes are all reasons why Eliou is a well-known brand in the field of affordable jewelry. Gala clip-on earrings are perfect for special occasions – bold floral resin earrings encrusted with freshwater pearls.
Cult Gaia
Like the brand’s ever-popular Ark bag, Cult Gaia’s jewelry is sculptural and exciting, making it the perfect choice for special occasions like weddings or cocktail parties. Next time you want to stand out from the crowd, wear one of the label’s Petra rings.
Roxanne Assoulin
Roxanne Assoulin’s colourful beaded designs are perfect for layering and styling. You can mix and match different styles from the brand’s various bracelets to find the combination that best suits your sense of style.
Madewell
Shoppers at Madewell may be intrigued by the brand’s denim, but have you had a chance to check out a selection of jewelry? If you’re looking for an affordable everyday jewelry must-have, look no further than Madewell, offering understated yet comfortable designs.
Humans Before Handles
When it comes to affordable jewelry, earrings are the go-to choice. They can instantly elevate any outfit, and a beautiful pair of earrings can add an extra sparkle to your day. Take a look at Humans Before Handles’ collection of bold styles – whether it’s pearl-encrusted jewellery like earrings or bold sculptural circles.
Swarovski
You’ve probably heard of sparkling Swarovski crystals before. Jewels adorned with the brand’s iconic gemstones add sparkle to your collection. Try a tennis bracelet, an affordable alternative to the classic diamond style.
Joolz by Martha Calvo
The bold colors and playful designs of Martha Calvo have attracted a long list of celebrity fans including Lewis Hamilton, Bad Bunny, and Gigi Hadid. Try layering the brand’s beaded necklaces, such as the All Or Nothing Necklace with a classic pendant necklace and a pair of metal hoops.
Night
The jewelry you wear every day doesn’t have to be elaborate and sophisticated. Add a pair of colourful statement earrings (we love the Dewey Flower Pow earrings) or a bold necklace from Notte designer Jessica Tse from New York and Florence for a little fun.
Apse
All of Apse’s jewelry products are made-to-order, which means that while it may take longer, there are no excess leftovers created during the production process. They also utilize recycled metal to provide repair and recycling services for clothes you no longer want to wear.
Ettika
There’s no need to dig deep to find the right metal for you, all of Ettika’s designs are crafted from 18K gold plating, including the bold Chain Hoops. If you’re looking for simple yet bold earrings, this pair might just be the way to go.
Jenny Bird
Jenny Bird creates simple yet sculptural jewellery that can be worn with a casual t-shirt or formal dress. Start with pared-back styles like Faye earrings, then build up your collection with heavier pieces.
