Nothing feels more satisfying than finding a gorgeous piece of jewelry that also happens to be affordable… that is until that stunning piece of bling starts to tarnish after a few wears. We love keeping extra green in our pockets, but that green tinge our bangles can leave on our skin? Not so much.
If you’ve been on the hunt for stylish yet budget-friendly jewelry that actually lasts, we’re right there with you. Social media has been buzzing for some time about Mejuri and its classic, durable pieces that won’t tarnish after a few wears, so we decided to go down the rabbit hole known as Reddit and find out if it continues to get love on anonymous message boards. Commenters overwhelmingly listed Mejuri as one of their fave jewelry companies for classic everyday pieces that are both timeless and durable.
And it’s not just us regular shoppers who are fans! Tons of celebrities, like Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, Selena Gomez and even Oprah, have been spotted wearing the effortlessly elegant brand. With stars like these sporting Mejuri, you might expect sky-high prices. But thanks to its direct-to-consumer model, it cuts out the middleman, keeping costs surprisingly affordable. While there are some stunning diamond-encrusted pieces that can set you back a bit, most of Mejuri’s best-selling items are under $100! So you can elevate your jewelry collection to A-list status without spending a fortune.
To help you get started, we rounded up our seven favorite pieces. Most are less than $100, but we did include a few fun splurges in case you want to treat yourself for the holidays.
You can never go wrong with simple gold hoop earrings, and this pair is a great size for everyday wear. Shoppers say they go with everything and are so comfortable, they forget they are wearing them.
“I usually don’t wear earrings, but these are so simple and pretty I wear them every day! They add just a little bit of ‘put together’ with my outfit. I like that the clasp doesn’t snag on anything. And that the gold doesn’t tarnish so far. I can wear them to sleep without even realizing they are there,” raved one.
We love the curved design of this gold vermeil ring — it gives it an eye-catching and modern twist to an otherwise classic piece. If gold isn’t your jam, the fashion-forward bangle also comes in sterling silver, cream, apricot or light blue enamel. With so many options, you may want to buy more than one and stack them.
One shopper said, “I wear this ring every day, wash my hands with it on, am not the most gentle with it… but it has held up amazingly so far! No discoloration and minimal scratches. It’s sooo cute too!”
These aren’t your grandma’s pearls. This dainty bracelet has mini freshwater pearls attached to a thin gold vermeil chain for an elegant and feminine look. The bracelet has two attachment loops so you can find a comfortable fit.
“Purchased the bracelet as a gift for a friend. She really loved the simplicity of it and she was able to fit her small wrist,” said one shopper.
This bestselling necklace features two interlinking rings which the brand says “symbolizes the strength of a personal bond,” making it a great option to gift a loved one. The gorgeous bauble is handcrafted in gold vermeil, which is a thick layer of 18k gold over 925 sterling silver.
One happy shopper wrote, “I bought it for my girlfriend, the first nice gift I’ve given her. It was a big hit, and she wears it every day, it doesn’t get much better than that.”
