Jewelry Under $500

White Sapphire Trinity Stud Earrings

These are a really good gift when you don’t want to guess someone’s vibe too hard. They’re pretty, they go with everything, and the three stones give them a little something more than your typical stud.

Just Like Diamond Choker in Platinum

This is part of Bethenny’s new collection and it’s stunning for the price point. Under $500 for a 25 carat total weight is insane—and it looks like the real deal. Bethenny will be the first to tell you that you don’t need to spend on real diamonds because no one can tell the difference anyway. This sits perfectly on the neck and does a lot without being too flashy.

Taylor Lab Diamond Huggie Earrings

If she already wears the same earrings every day and never takes them out, this is a very easy upgrade. They’re comfortable enough to sleep in, bright enough to notice, and simple enough that they don’t clash with anything she already wears.

Starlet Oval Choker Necklace

A bunch of us on the team own this, which says more than any product description ever could. The structure is what makes it special. It sits cleanly on the neck, doesn’t slide around, and instantly sharpens whatever you’re wearing. And the center stone looks like a real diamond in person, full stop.

Dorothy Drop Earrings

These are bold, but not costume-y. The green jade has weight to it, and the shape frames the face in a really flattering way. If she usually sticks to simple studs or hoops, these are a fun switch that still feels doable. They’re especially good with slicked-back hair or a simple dress.

Sculpted Cable Linked Cord Bracelet Pink Nylon with Sterling Silver and 14K Yellow Gold

This is a sweet everyday bracelet because it’s so easy to live in. It’s light, it doesn’t get in the way, and you don’t spend the day taking it on and off. She’ll look down at her wrist and remember who gave it to her, which is really the whole point.

14K Gold Asymmetrical Letter Necklace

These are such a good gift because you can make them personal without doing anything complicated. Pick her initial, pick a kid’s initial, pick something meaningful to her—and it instantly feels thoughtful. Also, pavé letters just look expensive, even when the piece is tiny.

14K Gold Pavé Letter Stud

This is such a sweet gift because it’s personal, but it’s also easy. Pick her initial and she can wear it every day, even when she’s keeping everything else simple. The tiny stones give it a little sparkle so it doesn’t disappear.

Malachite Tribe Eye 36mm Watch

Bethenny has a version of this watch and they’re so good because they give that designer look without the designer watch price. Timex is also just solid; it’s a classic brand, good quality, and easy to wear. If she’s a jewelry girl who never wears a watch, this is a fun way to change that.

10 Carat Just Like Diamonds Bracelet

A tennis bracelet under $500 that looks like the real deal is basically the dream scenario. This one is from Bethenny’s collection, and no, people are not going to clock it across a dinner table. It’s the easiest way to make your whole hand look more expensive.

Love In The Air Heart Pendant

We love that this comes without a chain because you can put it on what she already wears, or pick the exact length she likes. It has that vintage-y charm feel, and it looks good layered with other necklaces.

Alta Slim Chain Bracelet

Every wrist stack needs a chunky bracelet like this. It’s also great if she likes having bracelet she can wear daily and forget about.

The Maven Tennis Bracelet

If a classic tennis bracelet feels too expected, this gives you something a little more interesting without going full statement jewelry. The colored stones make it feel fresh, and it stacks really nicely with gold bracelets. It’s also a great gift when you want sparkle but you don’t want to do earrings or a necklace.

5 Carat Everyday Hoops

These are from Bethenny’s collection and they’re exactly what the name says: everyday hoops, but with a little something extra. They give you that big, bright look without needing the price tag that usually comes with it.

Florence Earrings

When someone asks what earrings to wear every day, this is the answer. They’re simple in a way that looks intentional, not bare.

Mel’s Emerald Ring

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: Emerald is having a moment. And this is a really wearable way to do it. It’s a statement, but not costume-y, and it makes your hand look expensive even if you’re in sweats. If she loves color, this is a great pick.

Heirloom Heart Necklace

This is how you give a piece of heart jewelry without it feeling cheesy. It’s subtle and sits nicely on the chest, but still layers really well with a longer chain.

Lab Grown Sapphire Heart Tennis Bracelet

Bethenny has this one and it’s such a fun alternative to a regular tennis bracelet. The heart shape gives a little nod to love, but the sapphires keep it from feeling juvenile. It’s also incredibly cute stacked next to a watch.

Cecilia Earrings in Moissanite

Moissanite is one of the best jewelry loopholes, because it sparkles like crazy and still reads as diamond to basically everyone. These are great when she wants real shine but doesn’t want to baby her earrings. Bethenny owns multiple pieces from Dorsey because they do this look really well.

Padlock Heart Pendant Necklace

We love this because it’s a heart that doesn’t feel like Valentine’s Day merch. The padlock detail gives it a little edge and it layers nicely with whatever she already wears. If she’s a daily necklace person, this will slide right into the rotation.

Cassandre Double Wrap Bracelet in Leather and Metal

This is for the girl who lives in neutrals and likes her jewelry a little sharper. It’s quiet designer, not logo screaming, and it looks good with a watch. Also, a wrap bracelet is forgiving—no stress about sizing.

Pavé Serpent Lariat Necklace

Bethenny wore this once and the Nosy Bs immediately lost it. It gives that designer-lariat look without the designer price, and it does a lot even with a plain top. If she wears v-necks, open collars, or anything with a little space at the neckline, this is such a good gift.

Diamond Aurora Huggie Studs

Real gold huggies are the kind of thing you buy once and then you stop thinking about earrings. You can sleep in them, wear them to the gym, wear them to dinner—they’re such an underrated staple. If you’re trying to gift something she’ll actually use constantly, this is an easy yes.

Zoe Necklace

This is for someone who doesn’t want delicate. The chain has presence, the heart is fun, and it makes a basic outfit feel like you tried.
