Jewelry — bracelets, rings, necklaces — comes down to material (925 silver vs alloy) and plating thickness. Top-tier pieces use real 925 silver and hold their finish far longer.
Jewelry price ranges in 2026
Here's what jewelry actually cost across the quality tiers, so you can budget before you message us:
| Tier | Typical price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Alloy / plated | $20 – $45 | Occasional wear, fashion |
| 925 silver (standard) | $45 – $110 | Daily wear, holds up |
| 925 silver + 18K plating (top) | $110 – $260 | Statement pieces, gifts |
Material drives price: real 925 silver costs more than alloy but resists tarnish far longer. Gold-plated and gem-set pieces sit at the top of the range.
How to choose the right jewelry
On jewelry the tiers separate at the base metal (925 silver vs alloy), the plating thickness and the engraving crispness. A top piece has real weight, sharp hallmarks and durable plating; a cheap one is light and the finish rubs off. For daily wear, the silver tier is worth it.

3 mistakes to avoid with jewelry
Buying alloy expecting it to last
Alloy plating wears and can discolour skin. If you'll wear it daily, pay for 925 silver — it's the difference between a season and years.
Wrong size
Rings especially — a half-size off is unwearable. Measure inner diameter in mm, don't guess from a US ring size alone.
Skipping the engraving check
Logo and hallmark engraving sharpness is where quality shows. Ask the QC video to zoom in.

Best time to order & shipping
Jewelry is year-round but demand and prices climb before Valentine's Day and Christmas. Order gifts a few weeks ahead to avoid courier-rush delays.
We ship jewelry by DHL, FedEx or UPS, typically 6–12 days to the US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia, with tracking in about 48 hours. On customs, even small jewelry parcels fall under the 2026 rules now that the US $800 de minimis exemption ended in 2025. Values are usually modest so any duty is small, and a lightweight parcel keeps courier cost low — we estimate both up front. The shipping calculator gives a quick figure — jewelry ships in a tiny, light parcel.
