Affordable gold alternatives to FoundRae

[darkangel07760]

Happy Sunday everyone!
I absolutely love FoundRae’s medallions and chains. Gorgeous.
However, they are out of my budget at this time, possibly forever haha! I was wondering if anyone knows of a more affordable alternative? 14k is fine.
I have tried searching, but I keep finding gold plated and I really want solid gold.
Any links would be appreciated!

I haven't bought anything from them, but have been eyeing some of their pieces, but Lionheart Jewelers has kind of a similar vibe.

The other thing I'll suggest is to go visit local, independent jewelry stores. With the popularity of Foundrae, they might have similar pieces, but their prices will be much more reasonable.

One that springs to mind straightaway is Sydney Evan - 14k gold and very similar designs.

Edit: Here’s a link to their website and charm necklaces, they have some gorgeous designs and lots of medallion style necklaces with chains for under $2000. 14k solid gold.

I hope so too! I love Foundrae, but right now I am just not ready to spend that amount, I start my new job today and will need time to be able to splurge, but these alternatives are super awesome!

I purchased a few charms from Lionheart. It was a total disappointment. 2,300 later... the charms are paper thin and the diamonds are horrible quality...It was a complete let down.

Appreciate the feedback on them. There’s so many jewelers out there and hard to tell the quality. Anything that helps navigate the waters is appreciated.

Mene. They use 24k, but they are less $ than Foundrae and they have a ton of medalions.

Before she started Foundrae, the founder collected antique and unique found objects and jewelry. I’ve often thought an antique gold watch fob chain could be repurposed, and I sometimes take off my Foundrae charms and use an antique aquamarine pendant. I also use an art piece, a torso sculpture pendant made of base metal on my Foundrae chain. Once you have a chain you are happy with, you can take your time collecting other items. For other items that I’ve paired with Foundrae, see my post 1115 here,

What Other Jewelry Brands Do You Buy/Wear?

I hope you will share an action pic whenever and whatever you decide :biggrin: is there a reason you don’t wear the VCA Magic, the Tiffany, the mimi, or the Ippolita? are they no longer your taste? I would rather rehome than keep stuff I don’t wear, and my taste tends towards bold, whether in...

ETA: antique gold watch fob chains are quite expensive in NY or London, but I’ve seen good deals here and there. You just have to hunt a bit.
