If we had to describe Katie’s jewelry style in one word, we’d say classic. Her pieces might cost a pretty penny, but their long-lasting quality and timeless designs make them worth the investment. Her go-to gold hoops, pendant necklace, and wrap bracelet pair beautifully with almost every outfit. And while her everyday jewelry is simple, the pieces come together to make a statement.
We wouldn’t blame you for wanting to recreate this sophisticated jewelry scape for yourself. But if the price tags are intimidating or a particular item is no longer made (we told you, she really commits when it comes to accessories), you’re not necessarily out of the game just yet. We’re always scouring the web for alternatives that are similar in style and just as stunning as what she wears daily, and we finally found a budget-friendly bracelet that looks like one of her favorites.
Katie bought a gold cuff from a boutique in Beverly Hills years ago and she’s been wearing it regularly ever since. We’re certain you’ve seen the wraparound bracelet on her wrist before. Unfortunately, that design is no longer available, but we just discovered an eerily similar (and more affordable) style by Mejuri. The brand is a go-to among celebrities and Wake-Up Call readers alike, and they just released an expansion of its most popular jewelry line, the Charlotte collection.
Inspired by the French cake of the same name, the jewelry collection mimics the lady finger exterior of the dessert with puffy, ribbed designs. The 26-piece collection is high-quality, all made with sterling silver, gold Vermeil, or 14k gold, with some pieces even studded in diamonds.
We consider Mejuri’s Puffy Charlotte Cuff a great alternative to Katie’s own wrist candy, and it will look amazing as a standalone piece or layered with even more baubles. The waves create a visual similar to Katie’s. If you really want to commit to Katie’s look, you can buy more than one and wear them together. The cherry on the cake is that it’s a bangle, so there’s no clasp to fiddle with, making it easy to put on and take off yourself. Aren’t we independent?

Charlotte Slim Ring
Mejuri
Despite being subtle in nature, small jewelry pieces can easily take an outfit from “thrown together” to “styled.” That’s what makes this deceptively simple ring so effective. This band has the same showy texture as the rest of the pieces in the Charlotte collection, but the slim size makes it feel less ostentatious and easier to wear every day.
Wide Charlotte Hoops
Mejuri
Small hoops are so much easier to wear because they won’t get tangled in your hair, but they’re harder to see — unless you go with a wide style like these. This pair is so eye-grabbing, you’ll want to wear your hair in an updo to really let them take center stage.
Puffy Charlotte Pearl Drop Earrings
Mejuri
You can’t go wrong with a pair of gold hoops, but on the days you want something more, these drop earrings fit the bill. The pearl adds a sophisticated touch to any outfit, but it won’t feel too formal for a daytime event.
Puffy Charlotte Pavé Diamond Ring
Mejuri
One of Mejuri’s core values is that you shouldn’t have to wait to get a piece of jewelry you love: Buy yourself the damn diamond. If we had an unlimited budget, this pavé piece would be in our carts faster than we can say “ooh la la.”
Charlotte Bold Ring
Mejuri
If you want a similar impact for less, opt for a stone-free ring with a thicker band. This one comes in both silver and gold, and it rings in (pun intended) at under $100.
