There is one thing that has stayed constant in most girl’s lives, and that is a love for jewelry. From the first moment I had money to spend, straight to Forever 21 I went. I remember begging my mom for earrings in the Justice checkout line, and how much I loved taking a jewelry-making class after school. One struggle I always found, however, was the struggle to find good quality jewelry that wouldn’t tarnish after 2 days of wearing it. No matter how hard I tried to take care of the rings and bracelets I bought, they were inevitably cast to the side after 2 weeks, by my fingers, which were now green from the rubbed-off coating. My journey continues to find long-lasting, and unique, mid-range affordable jewelry, and I thought I would share some of my favorite brands for just that, with you all today.
Mejuri is a well-known place to get your staple pieces. They carry a large collection of staple gold and silver pieces. From chains to the quality of their pieces is unmatched for the price point. If you’re in the market for a classic layering piece, or something to add some charms and pendants knot, Mejuri is the place to start. The pricing at Mejuri is definitely a little higher than your typical fast fashion jewels, but keep in mind that these pieces won’t tarnish and will last years!!
Moving on to some high-quality statement pieces to pair with your staples, Maggie Villamaria jewelry is the place to go. All her pieces are handmade and carefully curated, they are such a bright spark of color to any stack. MV Jewels has some more kitschy pieces if that’s what you’re interested in, but for the girls looking for something made from high-quality stones, and an artistic touch, this is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
3. Bonk Ibiza
This is a brand I happened upon when looking through my Pinterest of jewelry inspo, and if your interests are anything like mine, their pieces are on your boards too. The colorful beaded necklaces with lock closures in the front, worn around the neck of the chic and effortless girl, these necklaces can be paired up or down, and are the perfect accessory for summer. Bonk also makes extremely funky bracelets that remind me of the elevated version of summer camp friendship bracelets (in the best way).
If you’re looking for the perfect gold or silver bracelet stack, with a twist, Bloom jewelry has just what you need! I’ve seen bracelets like this stacked on every girl’s arm, but not at such a good price point! These bracelets are high-quality metal and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and with or without stones. If you’re wearing a stack or just one, it doesn’t matter because these are sure to elevate your everyday stack by 100%.
En Route is your favorite influencer’s favorite jewelry brand. I originally learned about En Route from their collaborations with fashion creators. The pieces that En Route creates are reminiscent of vintage and classic styles, without the need to hunt for them in thrift stores. The quality of their pieces is amazing, and you’re guaranteed to find something you’ll love.
