Whenever we can, we like to save money. Instead of splurging on designer brands and luxury looks, we prefer to shop affordable alternatives instead. As much as we related to Carrie Bradshaw’s obsession with shoes, we never quite understood why she would spend hundreds of dollars on a single pair. We’d rather spread that sum out on multiple items!
With wedding season in full swing and fancy fall events on the horizon, bills are starting to pile up — gifts and gowns galore! Don’t feel like you have to add to the expenses by buying formal jewelry. You can still shine with budget-friendly baubles that won’t break the bank. We went on a mission to find the best necklaces, earrings and bracelets under $50 that look like they’re over $500. Unlike with J.Lo, people will be fooled by the rocks that you got!

One reviewer reported, “Not only have they held up, but they look great and I get compliments on the set at work and with my family. 10/10 would buy for anyone.”
