12 Best Affordable Jewelry Brands: Mejuri, Missoma, Catbird, & More

Whether you’re here for the Y2K jewelry trend or all about timeless, dainty pieces you can layer, the best affordable jewelry brands on the market offer rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings worth adding to your everyday ~lewk~.

Yes, fine jewelry is #goals, meriting the investment if you can swing it. But tons of buzzy brands are putting out fun and stylish designs that are equally worth indulging in, easier on the wallet, and more fitting for everyday wear—think gold vermeil chains, chunky dome rings, pretty pearl pieces, and colorful drop earrings. Many even offer high-quality adornments made from solid yellow gold, silver, and rose gold with legit diamonds, gemstones, and pearls, if you’re looking for a more investment-worthy style at a better price point. Whether you lean minimalist, classic, or full-on maximalist, there’s undoubtedly a budget-friendly bauble for you. 

As for styling jewelry at affordable prices, we’re partial to the look of classic pieces with bolder styles with bright colors, playful beads, acetate, and more. When skewing timeless, consider layering a few pendants with a sleek snake chain or seed pearl strand. Or mix and match delicate studs with gold hoops for a modern vibe. All about bracelets? Try piling on the retro-inspired chains—and mix in a tennis bracelet for a hint of shimmer. A signet ring reads Bridgerton-chic, and when leaning into the ’90s or 00’s look, have fun with a cute anklet or two—for an even bigger statement, go for the body chain.

Once you have your bling in-hand, consider investing in an eye candy-worthy jewelry box for safekeeping. Ready to shop? Ahead, discover the 12 best affordable jewelry brands to dial up your look.

Not to miss is the label’s recycled metals collection, as well as trend-forward pieces designed in collaboration with influencer Lucy Williams. 

Rellery

If the words “affordable” and “jewelry” make you think it’s not high-quality, guess again. The label only works with precious metals, including sterling silver, solid 14-karat gold, or thick 18-karat gold-plated sterling silver. So, whether you’re looking for a fun and playful piece (peep the label’s Insta-famous checkered rings) or a plate necklace engraved with a meaningful phrase, you’ll feel good knowing your chosen piece was worth the spend. And, fun fact: celebrities like Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Irina Shayk have all rocked styles from this line.

Or amp up the look of timeless, dainty pieces by mixing in a single statement bauble.
