good online source for trendy, inexpensive jewelry?

[amanda]

what can i say, girls, i love trendy jewelry. i've got a bag addiction to care for, though, so i can't buy the good stuff. i really like the stuff that places like shopbop have, but i can't pay $300 for stuff i'm gonna wear a handful of times. so do any of you know a good website that carries trendy (but not TOO trendy) jewelry for under $50 per piece? i feel like i've exhausted all my local sources; it's all too expensive or too tacky. i know one of you must have a secret source!

Happy to help, Amanda! I was intrigued by the site's name when I first saw it on grechenscloset.

Another great indie designers site:

PS Amanda, since this site is based in Georgia, you might have bought from it before?

Over here in the UK the best branded cheap jewellery is by a Danish company called Pilgrim. They have some amazing designs, high fashion & fun too. This is their website;

http://www.pilgrim.dk/Womens/en-GB/Home/

They have a couple of shops in the states but I'm sure loads of sites would stock them. try googling them!

 

[passerby]

ParkAvenuePrincess, great recommendation!

Last year I browsed a couple of sites (UK-based) that sell Pilgrim's jewellery - beautiful stuff.

Never got around to ordering any though.

* I am a browser, not a buyer * for now anyway ...

 

[ParkAvenuePrincess]

Pilgrim are great! I have a few of their pieces. Really well made & contempory wthout looking cheap.

I'm sure lots of websites in the US must offer them, or if not, I'd think the UK ones would be happy to ship to the states.


Its always worth a try!

This is the site I was browsing (and it does ship internationally):

http://www.shopatbubbles.com/about/

Have you heard of them?

 

[ParkAvenuePrincess]

yes! an Austrailan friend of mine used to order hers from them, until Oz got its own stockists(I always told her she should have been the first! she'd have made a small fortune now!)

I believe they are good. I've no personal experience of them as quite a few places near me sell Pilgrim.

I LOVE!! this ring;

snazzygirl.com has some good jewelry. It's mostly Canadian designers. My favorites are Foxy Originals, Imooi and Amy Kovach. Foxy's necklaces are mostly two sided so you kinda get 2 necklaces for the price of one.

Snazzy Girl's pics kinda suck though so if you want to see some better ones you can check out:
amykovach.com
imooi.com
foxyoriginals.com

Whatzerface, there are so many good independent designers out there, agree?

Amanda, if the jewellery on the following site is as good as it looks, then even I would buy it ( I don't wear jewellery as a rule):-

BTW Yazmin, the designer, is based in Cumming, GA - so perhaps you've bought stuff from her already?
