12 Affordable Jewelry Brands I Keep Stalking On Instagram
Ah, Instagram. It’s the place where I find the majority of my fashion inspiration season after season. It’s such a cold take to say that Instagram has had a massive effect on how we shop, but I think it’s worth repeating here: This app is the place to be if you’re looking for a few new pieces to pick up this season—especially when it comes to jewelry. Sure, the celebs and influencers we follow brag about a few pricey brands here and there, but there are also some seriously affordable jewelry brands that have gained popularity on the app over the last few years. Don’t worry—I’ve rounded a ton of ‘em up here for you to shop.
Take Mejuri, for instance. To be on Instagram is to know about (and love) Mejuri’s line of stunning 14k gold and gold vermeil jewelry. The best part about the influencer-adored brand, though, is the fact that none of their pieces will break the bank. They just look super luxurious. Finding a brand that sells timeless pieces at an actually–attainable price point is truly the ideal situation if you’re a total jewelry hoarder. I mean, collector.
But, if you already own half of the Mejuri website and you’re looking to expand your jewelry horizons in 2021, I’ve got you covered. I found a bunch of picks that are all priced under $150 from brands like Luv Aj, Missoma and Melinda Maria that you can pick up right now. I even included a bundle of earrings from cult-favorite brand STUDS that takes the guesswork out of achieving the perfect #EarStack.
Keep scrolling and prepare to be amazed by all of the affordable beauty you thought you had to splurge on. Read on and thank me later!

The Best Zodiac Jewelry, as Worn by Celebrities
If you haven’t yet figured out your relationship to the cosmos, fret not. Mahtani’s subtle and abstract takes on the classic astrological symbols are designed to be interpreted in their own way. “I didn’t want the symbols to be too reductive or obvious,” she says of her dug-up-from-the-ground aesthetic that makes each piece seem like a truly unique treasure. “The notion of fragmented talismans that invite you to unlock your own story has always been at the heart of Alighieri. I suppose that the zodiac pieces are rooted in meanings that are perhaps more explicit.”
Logan Hollowell white sapphire Taurus constellation necklace $925 MARISSA COLLECTIONS Shop Now
Zodiac pieces are a way into Alighieri’s unique world of self-expression, with customers going on to layer a second, more abstract talisman – “perhaps the Leone medallion for strength and courage, the Trailblazer necklace to symbolize the future, or the Torch of the Night for illumination.” Mahtani herself mixes and matches a tangle of wonderful trinkets rooted in literature, adventure, and sentiment around her neck daily.
Where to start to look original, rather than jumping on a starry trend bandwagon? Alighieri’s is a delightful world to get lost in and land upon something that’s personal and affordable. Consider it the e-tail equivalent of stargazing—just an eye for an emblem that speaks to you is required. For special pieces—and great gifts—the fine jewelry world is awash with exquisite forever treasures, from Briony Raymond and Logan Hollowell to Anita Ko, Jade Trau, and Matteo. Mid-range astro gems can also be found at Jennifer Behr, Mejuri, and Stephen Webster. Whether these spirited charms are more powerful than a great diamond necklace or a simple nameplate, you’ll just have to find out.
