First off, you got yer beaded bracelets. Flaire & Co. apparently thinks they got the hookup on that. Handmade? Custom? Sounds kinda bougie for “cheap,” but hey, I’m willing to be proven wrong. Honestly, though, are beaded bracelets even *in* right now? Feels like a throwback to, like, middle school. Just sayin’.
Then there’s the whole “fine jewelry look for less” thing. Which, let’s be real, is basically the holy grail. I mean, who *doesn’t* want to look like they’re dripping in diamonds without actually having to sell a kidney? These “affordable jewelry brands” they’re talking about… I’m always a bit skeptical. Sometimes it’s just cheap metal that turns your finger green after a week. But hey, gotta take a chance, right? I mean, I’ve found some surprisingly decent stuff on Etsy. You just gotta, like, *really* dig and read the reviews.
And oh god, the clearance sections. TOMADE.com? Sounds…uh…interesting. Their whole “wholesale jewelry & custom jewelry” spiel? Kinda screams “mass-produced in a factory somewhere,” but hey, maybe you can snag a deal. The thing with clearance is, you either find a hidden gem or something so hideous you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it. It’s a gamble. A *cheap* gamble, but a gamble nonetheless.
Lovisa, though? That’s a name I recognize. They’re usually pretty on-trend, and their “last chance jewelry” can actually be alright. It’s the kind of place where you can find some fun, statement pieces without feeling too guilty about the price. Especially if you’re just, ya know, going out for one night and wanna feel a little extra.
H.Samuel and Accessorize are also throwing their hats in the ring with discounted jewelry. Up to 50% off? Okay, now you’re talking. I’m a sucker for a good sale. Especially if it means I can finally get that silver ring I’ve been eyeing. Simple Sterling Silver Rings, they say? Yessss, gimme. Can’t go wrong with a classic. Tassel Earrings and resin shapes, though… mmm, maybe a bit too much for me. Depends on the outfit, I guess. But generally speaking, I’m more of a minimalist kinda gal.
