From future heirlooms to playful finds under $8.
When it comes to curating a jewelry box, we believe in balance. We see the value of investing in high-end pieces but at the same time can appreciate a good deal in accessories. You probably already shop on Amazon for the latter (like that pack of resin rings you thought would make you feel 10 years younger), but believe it or not, you can find timeless designs and future family heirlooms on the platform, too.
The mega-retailer has evolved from its beginnings as an online bookseller and now exists as the one-stop shop we rely on for everything from household goods to on-trend clothing. We’ve waxed poetic many a time about the hidden gems within Amazon’s piles of clothing offerings, but it’s time to discuss the other diamonds in the rough.
Amazon is famous for its low pricing, but its luxury department is expanding, which means you can shop for high-quality jewelry and on-trend affordable items (like an $8 necklace) at the same time, without leaving your home. You wouldn’t be the first person to buy a diamond on Amazon — we found one with over 1,100 customer reviews!
From 14k solid gold hoops you can pass down to your children to rainbow beaded bracelets reminiscent of summer camp creations, shop on for the best baubles you can find on Amazon.

If non-fine metals turn your skin green, we’re happy to report that Amazon offers fine jewelry at a variety of price points. Made of 14k solid gold, these simple huggies are the real deal and a rare find because they’re under $50 but will last a lifetime. They’re budget-friendly thanks to their hollow tube structure (which also means they’re light, so they won’t weigh down your earlobes).

If you’re shopping for an engagement ring that looks like a diamond but you can’t afford the real thing, don’t despair! Try one made with a cubic zirconia stone. Only eagle-eyed diamond experts would know the difference. The best part? Since it’s affordable, you can purchase it for yourself, no fiancé necessary.

Amazon
Ornate and unique designs can be found at Amazon, and this bracelet is proof. Made of .925 sterling silver, this intricately woven bracelet is handmade in Italy. It boasts over 4,500 reviews praising its quality and craftsmanship. Pro tip: Some wearers note that the details are a little difficult to clean, so be sure to remove it while cooking or gardening.
Amazon Collection 14K Gold Round-Cut Diamond Stud Earrings
Amazon
Fact: Real diamonds last forever. Also fact: They typically come with a steep price tag. If you’re yearning for a lifelong commitment in the form of sparkly studs but aren’t ready to commit to the cost, start with this relatively affordable pair of diamond earrings starting at .25 carats from Amazon’s in-house collection for a dash of budget-friendly glamour. They have screw backings, which means you can wear them securely without fearing they’ll fall off.
La4ve Diamonds 14K White Gold Round-Cut Diamond Stud Earring
Amazon
Ready to take the next step in your relationship with gems? Lab-grown diamonds are ethically made (instead of mined) and they’re often more affordable than natural varieties. They also shine just as bright as mined diamonds. Made using cutting-edge technology, these glimmering studs in a white gold setting will be the cherry on top of any outfit. For this pair, the diamond weights start at 1 carat but styles are available all the way up to a whopping 2.5 carats if you’re in the market for a show-stopping accessory.
Rosemarie Collections Chunky Stacking Bracelet Set
Amazon
We were drawn to this set of bracelets because it gives us the warm feeling only a dose of nostalgia can elicit. These beaded bangles are the grown-up version of those friendship bracelets you made at summer camp. They’re just as fun but the muted color scheme and minimalist bead shape make them slightly more sophisticated.
Wellike Colorful Beaded Necklace
Amazon
For a necklace that unlocks another beloved childhood memory, try this sweet style, which you can wear with or without the above bracelets. We appreciate the unexpected combination of rainbow beads and freshwater pearls, which creates an elevated yet still playful aesthetic. Pro-tip: Layer it with 14k gold chains to create a unique look that’s both classy and vibrant.
Wishoney Astrology Necklace
Amazon
Do you ever find yourself saying, “I’m such a [insert astrology sign here]”? Let everyone know where your stars align with this affordable yet elegant pendant necklace. At less than $10 each, you can get one for everyone you know — even the Taurus who denies their star sign.
Amazon Essentials Paperclip Chain Necklace
Layering delicate chains is an art form, and you should start with a clean base. This simple paperclip necklace is one of those rare versatile pieces that pairs well with statement jewelry but won’t look awkward solo. If you do wear it alone, consider adding a sentimental pendant for a personalized touch.
Gold Chunky Hoop Earrings Set
Amazon
Hoop earrings are basically an essential accessory because they go with anything and will never go out of style. And since the style stands the test of time, you should probably stock up with a set of six subtly different pairs. You can wear one pair at a time to frame your face, but if you have multiple piercings, consider stacking them together for a maximalist effect.
Turandoss Jewelry Set
Amazon
If putting individual items together to create one cohesive look overwhelms you, a coordinated jewelry set might be the answer to your prayers. This modern, teardrop collection includes a necklace, a bracelet, earrings, and a ring that you can effortlessly style together or wear separately. And they all look more expensive than they actually are.
PAVOI 14K Gold Plated 3mm Cubic Zirconia Classic Tennis Bracelet
Amazon
Real diamond tennis bracelets can cost an arm and a leg, but you can get the same look without dismembering yourself. This dainty option gives you the same brilliant sparkle and shine but at a fraction of the price. Don’t worry — we won’t tell anyone it’s cubic zirconia if you don’t.
Fashewelry 20-Piece Stone Necklace Set
Amazon
Here’s a necklace set for the indecisive accessorizer. (Yes, we just made up that word.) With 20 different pendants to choose from, depending on your mood, you can opt for a chunky moon or heart-shaped charm in a variety of rich, organic materials. Buyers say that the stones are fun to mix and match and that they make cute, affordable gifts for friends and family.
Humble Chic Simulated Diamond Long Earrings
No jewelry collection is complete without a decent amount of fun, sparkly accessories. We love these cascading statement earrings because they can instantly upgrade a simple dress you already have hanging in your closet.
Dainty Layered Initial Necklace

Initial necklaces are the kind of jewelry purchase you rarely regret since they’re a near-timeless form of personalization. For just $15, we’re pretty sure you’ll be happy with this easy paperclip chain and pendant — 36,000 other buyers are pleased. And if you ever change your name? It’ll only cost you $15 to buy a new initial (or you can say the old one stands for some other word or name of your choosing).
The Pearl Choice 18-Inch Pearl Strand with 14K Gold Clasp
Amazon
Here’s another fine jewelry investment you’ll be shocked to find on Amazon. Made of freshwater pearls and finished off with a 14k gold clasp, this necklace can be paired with a little black dress to channel Audrey Hepburn or jeans and a chunky sweater for a more contemporary, yet still classic, look.
