Cheap Statement Necklaces

I’m a jewelry purist, and generally if it isn’t “fine” it generally won’t be mine. However, I’ve loved the latest jewelry trends like the stacked wrist, and the more recent statement necklace, and it’s extremely pricey to embrace these trends with fine jewelry. As a result, I started shopping around online for pieces that are inexpensive enough that I won’t regret the purchase when this trend exhausts itself, yet don’t look flimsy or cheap. What I stumbled upon was good old Amazon.com, and their “Amazon Curated Collection” and also one of their third-party sellers “SaveGoodBuy“.

In the image above I am wearing the Faceted Black and Opal Stone Statement Necklace, 16.5” which is an Amazon curated piece, and retails for a mere $30, while also qualifying for Amazon Prime (and Super Saver Shipping). THIS LINK will take you directly to this necklace.

I also purchased two other necklaces from a third-party seller, that retail for a song.

the Two Row Bubble Stone Acrylic Bib Cluster Necklace which is only $10.99 and qualifies for prime/free shipping.  I purchased the necklace in an aqua shade that is no longer available, however I love it enough that I am considering another color.

and the Champagne Elegant Drop Shape Bubble Cluster Necklace for $12.99 which appears deceptively expensive.  I DO plan to buy more, and will keep you posted.  Believe me, I purchased and returned many necklaces before finding these winners!

 

Update Your Jewelry For 2011

The jewelry trend for 2011?  Large and in-charge!  Layered chains in varying metallic hues and textures… the trendy looks of the season are certainly dazzling!  But, as always, timing is everything.  The price of precious metals is sky-high, forcing many jewelry lovers to shelve out-of-style precious pieces and wear costume jewelry to stay on-trend.

The funny thing, however, is that costume jewelry can be expensive too!  So, before you sink too much cash into a trendy piece, be strategic.  You can update grandma’s genuine pearls for less money, and be wearing the real deal while your friends are all wearing plastic!

Pearls are delicate and dainty, and a classic 18-inch strand can be made rocker-chic tough simply by adding a masculine stainless-steel chain.

The 22″ stainless steel chain I added to the pearl strand was purchased from Amazon.com, and retails for $24.  Click HERE to buy the Men’s Stainless Steel Chain Necklace from Amazon.com.

Sterling silver has also increased in price, but is still affordable enough to use for layering.  It also has the benefit of possibly increasing in value in the future!  The dainty chain-link sterling necklace I layered in the image above is also from Amazon.com.  Retail price is $16.
