Jewelry Under $250
At this level, look for petite gemstone studs, select pearl earrings or sterling silver and gold-vermeil pieces. These are ideal for teens, friends or anyone who appreciates sweet, simple jewelry they can enjoy every day.
Jewelry Under $500
Here, you’ll come across elevated materials such as 14k gold, gemstones, cultured pearls and select diamond designs that feel a step above the everyday. Gemstone bracelets, gold hoops, stackable bands and chains are popular options.
Jewelry Under $1,000
This budget opens the door to more diamond jewelry essentials, including studs, station bracelets, pendants and bands, as well as richer, more detailed earrings and higher-grade 18k gold. You’ll also find premium gemstone jewelry that feels both luxurious and wearable. These are all ideal for milestone celebrations or romantic gifting.
Jewelry Under $2,500
Here, you can expect larger carat weights, fine gold craftsmanship and standout stones. Tennis bracelets, 0.5 to 1 cttw diamond studs, pearl bracelets and gemstone rings often live in this category. If you’re gifting for a major moment, an engagement-adjacent gift, a significant anniversary or a big holiday, this range provides unforgettable options.
Jewelry Under $5,000
This tier is full of jewelry that really feels like an upgrade: branded jewelry, 1 to 2 cttw diamond studs, diamond solitaire necklaces, mixed gemstone–and–diamond designs, cluster jewelry and cocktail rings. This is the sweet spot where your options open up vastly.
