While we often wax poetic about future-heirloom rings and investment-piece pendants, we also can’t resist the appeal of more affordable jewelry options—a simple pair of diamond studs or a gold-plated oversized chain necklace. And there are several brands expertly crafting baubles at an accessible price point; in fact, several of our favorite new labels are dedicated to this entirely.

Of course, jewelry will always be a worthy investment. But there are some moments when the less-is-more options certainly come in handy. Headed to the beach for a high-summer getaway? Instead of fastening that irreplaceable charm around your neck or cramming it into a suitcase, consider the playful pearl strands by Éliou or Maison Irem. The label’s beautiful creations will dress up any summer outfit and are ideal for every day (or year-round) wear.

Ahead we present and introduce a few more need-to-know labels making affordable jewelry options. We’ve even rounded up our favorite pieces (all under $200) to add to your collection.
