“It’s light and dainty but not fragile or cheap.” —a happy customer enjoying her affordable new jewelry

I'm a Shopping editor (and mom to two toddlers) who covers a variety of topics, including helpful parenting/kids products, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses my path.

Is your jewelry stash desperately in need of a refresh? Perhaps you're growing a bit tired of the tarnished initial necklace you've been wearing since high school? Well, now you can upgrade your daily baubles without spending all of your hard-earned dollars, thanks to this helpful roundup of affordable stores to buy jewelry from! From Amazon (of course) and BaubleBar to small businesses like Miru and Caitlyn Minimalist, there are so many exciting shops to peruse. 

We're personally fond of the brand Pavoi, but there's no telling what others you might unearth if you take some time to scroll.

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has these Pavoi hoops and said, "Jewelry is not one of those things I like to splurge on, so when I found this budget-friendly pair, I decided to ~treat myself~. And wow, they look amazing in person! I'm sort of obsessed with this brand in general now (I wore one of their tennis bracelets to a wedding recently and got so many compliments!) and may finally be able to buildup a collection of jewelry staples without going broke."

What they carry: Waterproof jewelry, earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, hand chains, anklets, toe rings, eyeglass chains, bag charms, and body chains

I mean, you simply can't go wrong shopping from BaubleBar! You've probably been for years already! And, if you haven't been, welcome! While they have expanded their offerings to demi-fine jewelry, the majority of their *baubles* remain affordable. They also often have sales, so you can score whatever item you've had your eye on for much cheaper. From Disney stud earrings and customized phone cases to stackable bracelets and pretty statement rings, I own so many BaubleBar items that I've genuinely lost track. I'm such a fan and will keep shopping here until the end of time!

The brand is most well known for its flatback "nap earrings," which I can personally tell you are amazing! I've worn them for months on end, and they don't poke at the back of your head like other earrings do when you lie down. What are you waiting for? Start shopping!

Promising review (for the earrings): "Love the backings on these earrings, they never get caught or push against my skin at night. I also have VERY sensitive ears, which typically get oozy with nickel/ copper, but I’m able to wear these for MONTHS and have no irritation." —Alexandra M.

I loooooove the movement behind Little Words Project. It was founded by Adriana Carrig, who created the brand to help herself and her sorority sisters cope with bullying by crafting wearable affirmations to remind themselves of their worth — boy, has it grown from there.

Each bracelet comes with a registration tag, so you can track its journey after you pass it on to someone who needs the motivational message behind it once you feel you've conquered your struggle. They've also expanded past "struggles" and have become loving gifts! I have (and have gifted) ones that say "besties" or "boy mom" that I absolutely cherish.

Promising review (for the "breathe" bracelet): "After owning three LWP bracelets, it is safe to say that I am in love. 😂 These bracelets are high quality, super cute, and go with everything!

You might not have thought about shopping for jewelry at J. Crew, but you most certainly will now! I personally like that they keep their offerings minimal — at the time of this writing, there are only 159 items total (most of which are geared toward the current shopping season... which is GREAT)! It makes it easier to shop and make intentional decisions rather than make impractical ones. 

Promising review (for the bracelet): "Really pretty and well made. It's light and dainty but not fragile or cheap. Love this piece and now want to get the necklace. The gold is really pretty." —Mandysb7
