These fashion staples tend to come in at steep price points, but we have some more wallet-friendly options for you instead. Here are some affordable, pre-owned pieces that won’t break the bank as much as their brand new counterparts do.
1. Yellow Diamonds
Lately, we’ve been seeing yellow. Maybe it’s just the sunshine finally peaking through this spring, but these yellow stones have caught our attention.
From engagement rings to earrings, celebrities like Heidi Klum and Jennifer Lopez have donned the yellow stones. Have no worries if yellow diamonds are out of your price range, because we have citrine jewelry that delivers the same look as your favorite celebs, like these citrine rings in yellow or white gold, or these citrine earrings.
2. Sapphire Jewelry
Like the yellow diamonds, sapphire jewelry is a look that rocks. Kate Middleton already had a beautiful sapphire engagement ring passed down from Princess Diana, but now she has a new set of a sapphire necklace and earrings. We are willing to bet, Kate’s look cost a small fortune, but you can replicate the look with cheaper options or even with topaz. Check out this sapphire necklace, this topaz ring and these sapphire earrings.
3. Chanel Chic
Chanel is a ubiquitous fashion staple among, well, just about everyone. Vintage costume jewelry from Chanel can be pricey, but with a bit of compromise, you can emulate the look authentically. Beyonce’s gold-colored pendant necklace could cost you over $1,000, but you can get Chanel pendant earrings for less than $200 here, or for less than $350 here.
4. Classic Cartier
Cartier is the jeweler to kings, but also the jeweler to first ladies. Former first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and current first lady Michelle Obama have both sported the Cartier Tank watch. The stylish and classic watch is not cheap at a current retail price of $4,900, but you can buy a pre-owned Tank watch in excellent for a fraction of the price here.
