36 best affordable fine jewelry brands to shop online in 2024

From braided rings and chunky hoops to gemstone necklaces and tennis bracelets, the best affordable jewelry brands on the market provide timeless, multi-generational pieces that we’re heart-eyed over.

But, the price in the fine jewelry area can be daunting at times, especially when ordering online. Let’s face it — after a while, stock images of rose gold, sterling silver and diamonds all look the same.

After consulting with a gemologist to roundup the best engagement rings to buy online, we realized while diamonds are great and all (in fact, they’re a girl’s best friend), there are so many other dainty, paperclip-inspired, and colorful options waiting for you to add them to your e-shopping cart.

So, we did the research for you, tried out some pieces, and corralled the best affordable fine jewelry brands to shop from online. From Mejuri’s minimalist gold to Gorjana’s unique finds, your next bracelet, necklace, ring or pair of earrings is waiting for you. And best of all, many are on sale just in time for prom.

About the brand : Based in Laguna Beach, Calif., Gorjana “offers jewelry that you’ll live in, love always and layer every day.” And, the brand is driven to give back, including matching customers’ donations and donating jewelry for charity auctions.

If you’re all about the gold layering necklace or gold chain trend (but not too chunky), Gorjana has all of its pieces catered just to you. Not into the plain gold bracelet? This pearl style is calling your name.

Let’s call it straight — Gorjana is one of the most affordable options on this list. Even its fine jewelry edit has a shimmery white topaz ring just under $100.

We love them as a spot to find the perfect engagement ring. Let’s get real, who could say no to something like the Emerald Baguette Three Stone Breezy Bezel (from $1,480)?

About the brand: Awe is the brainchild of Jill Johnson. After the jewelry designer beat cancer for a third time, she felt inspired to make a universally wearable piece that could empower everyone. This is how the goddess necklaces were born.

To find your own inner goddess (and the jewelry to adorn her with), peruse the site. They have necklaces, rings and bracelets, each inspired by a mythical or real life heroine. You’re sure to find one (or several) that you identify with.

One of of our Commerce Editors is a fan of this brand, loving it for its unique styles. Here’s what she had to say:

“I’ve been obsessed with the designs from Awe Inspired since I first discovered them on my Insta feed. I love the idea that every women has an inner goddess, plus I’m a millennial, so I like anything with a more personalized touch.

The quizzes are fun to take. The last time I took one I got Lilith, which I thought was cool, especially since the collection is a collaboration with Julia Fox. The line is all about celebrating dark feminine energy, which I’m all about.

I ended up getting the Guardian Crystal Necklace ($200). It features a quartz crystal with a snake wrapped around it. If you’re woo-woo (like I am), you know that quartz stones are clarifying, while snakes symbolize transformation, wisdom and act as a connector between realms.

The necklace makes me feel grounded, so I wear it on days I’m feeling anxious. I also like how it’s really delicate but still has some edge because of the snake. If I were to reorder I’d get a longer chain for something more dramatic. Otherwise, I love it.”

Shipping: Free on orders over $100; two-day and overnight shipping also available

Returns: Available within 30 days of purchase; must be unworn and unused
