Bracelet by LuvAj 

Jewelry can make or break an outfit, and finding quality pieces online can be daunting.  To make shopping for all things sparkly a bit more fun, we’ve rounded up the top jewelry stores that offer both affordable and fashion-forward pieces.

These divine creations enable you to have the perfect piece on hand when gracing an event, all while keeping you looking dazzling  and saving you time and money.

Some of these stores and designers are emerging, others are established, and all offer that special something that landed them on our list. Check out the top jewelry stores that made our list.

Bauble Bar 

Bauble Bar should be bookmarked on your browser immediately. The site sources jewelry from the same designers found in high-end retailers but offers the same pieces at much lower prices.  Bauble Bar cuts cost by working directly with the designers, and it passes the savings to you.   The pieces range from over-the-top and glam to sweet, delicate, and understated.

The site lets you search by “fashion” (the trend), “function” (necklaces, rings, or earrings), or “fame” (celebrities who wore that jewelry). Fame is our favorite feature, since it allows you to quickly spot a surprisingly affordable piece showcased by Jennifer Lopez or such.

Do stop by the Vault section, which allows loyal customers to earn credits and redeem them for free baubles–pieces that are no longer available for for purchase and can only be redeemed with earned credits.

This Wishbone Pendant, $32, is delicate, channels Carry Bradshaw, and is surprisingly affordable.

Jennifer Zeuner  

Jennifer Zeuner has the ability to take a clover, wish bone, heart, or butterfly and translate it into a whimsical piece of jewelry that accents any outfit.

You’ll love the option to customize each piece  in gold, rose, or sterling silver.  The pieces are understated with a twist and will pair perfectly with a simple dress, a work outfit, or an evening ensemble.

Fans of Zeuner include Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Port, and Katy Perry.  The line is also available for purchase at Singer22.

This Hanging Butterfly Necklace, $209, comes in gold, rose, or sterling silver. Pair it with additional necklaces for a layered affect, or wear it on its own to introduce some whimsy into your outfit.

LuvAJ 

LuvAJ is the perfect line of intricate, metal pieces that mix edginess and femininity.  LuvAj’s designer Amanda Thomas uses metals, chains, and spikes to infuse her jewelry with attitude– and she does a good job at it.

The pieces have been worn by Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie.   Find friendship bracelets, long chain necklaces, and even on-trend body-chains, as seen below.

The line is also sold at Boutique To You.

This LuvAJ Black and Gold Bodychain$250, is daring and sexy. It has an antique feel and can jazz up an outfit from simple to glam pronto.

Alkemie 

Pieces found at this site aren’t just beautiful–they’re also socially responsible. The site promotes fair trade, local living wages, and eco-sustainable business practices through its handcrafted jewelry. Pieces have been featured in Marie Claire and People Style Watch, and celebrity fans include Eva Green, Michelle Rodriguez, and Vanessa Hudgens.

The pieces found on the site have an easy bohemian feel. Antique inspirations and a mixture of metals and textures make them ideal accessories to add texture. Top sellers on the site are inspired by animals and will add uniqueness to your look.

These Falling Star Earrings with Chain, $176, will turn you into a dreamy star gazer. Wear them with your hair pulled back for a dramatic effect, or let your strands down and allow sexy glimpses of stars when you toss your hair.

A Jewelry Wonderland 

Chan Luu is a favorite among celebrities, and at A Jewelry Wonderland, you can find some of the designer’s most coveted pieces, from beaded multi-strand leather bracelets to drop-chain earrings.  We hear Chan Luu beaded bracelets are all the range.

The site also offers carefully edited pieces from other designers, like David Aubrey and Echo of the Dreamer.

To find the best pieces, the site’s owners search runway shows, galleries, and other fashionable venues to bring you the latest in fashion jewelry. The  everyday girl is always kept in mind, as the prices are surprisingly affordable (most pieces cost under $100).

This Chan Luu Mixed Gold & Silver Nugget Wrap, $219,  is ideal for everyday wear and will have people asking: “Where did you get that?”

YLANG| 23 

From high-priced gems to affordable designers with a niche following, YLANG | 23 has a plentiful selection of on-trend jewels and offers its clients the best in designer sparkle. The site carries coveted brands such as Alexis Bittar, Scosha, and Dana Kellin.

If you are feeling extra charitable, YLANG Gives is a line of one-of-a-kind pieces. Its proceeds benefit charities like The Family Place and others.

Celebrities who shop Ylang|23 include Diane Lane and Drew Barrymore.

This Alexis Bittar Large Zanzibar Wicker Hinge Cuff, $197.50, is the perfect chunky bracelet. The designer has been recognized as the “Accessory Designer of the Year” and is known for having dazzling pieces appear on the arms of celebrities out on the town and on major magazine covers.


Beklina 

Poppy and fun are the perfect adjectives to describe the jewelry at Beklina. The site sells clothing, jewelry, and accessories from many designers such as Manimal, Lina Rennell, and Pebble & Crow. The jewelry has an earthy feel, and if you’re looking for something with a dash of color, you’ve come to the right place.

The jewelry is made out of organic materials and range from metals to fabrics to beads and stones.  The pieces feature intricate designs, making this jewelry truly unique.

 This Pebble & Crow Necklace, $80, is perfectly daring to pair with a basic black T-shirt. Let it do the talking and keep the rest of your outfit simple.
