To many, high quality, affordable jewelry may seem like an oxymoron. Among high-end fine jewelry offerings and high-street designer dupes, the middle ground may be hard to spot. Luckily, we’ve done the legwork. Today, there are plenty of jewelry brands offering quality pieces that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re searching for everyday essentials, like stackable rings, gold hoops, and chain necklaces, that graciously won’t turn your skin green, or costume-level styles with a bit more character, you don’t need to spend a fortune to find your perfect piece.
Vogue’s Favorite Affordable Jewelry Finds
Quality, of course, is key. The innovative materials and techniques of today’s modern brands create affordable jewelry that is durable and, with proper care, can last for years. Having purchased our share of styles that failed to last the season, over the years we’ve learned a few tricks of the trade. Gold vermeil, for example, is a less expensive, but still great-looking, alternative to solid gold jewelry. And for those on the hunt for a bit of sparkle, plenty of brands are making stunning designs with cubic zirconia. If your budget is a bit higher, lab-grown stones offer a more affordable alternative to mined diamonds. Explore all of our favorite affordable jewelry brands in the edit below.
