One of my favorite places to go shopping for jewelry is Younkers (one of the Bon-Ton stores). They have a huge selection and relatively low prices. And when they don’t have low prices, they have a sale. Score!
The brand at Younkers that I have continually bought stuff from is Monet. This line is great because the jewelry is fairly high quality but still affordable. It’s a pretty simple line…not a lot of dangles and glitz. Here’s a small selection of the earrings available on their website:
Kohls has stocked the daisy fuentes line of jewelry and clothing for quite some time now. I would characterize her designs as contemporary and conservative. I like her jewelry line because it’s classic enough to go along with pretty much any outfit. It’s also a pretty affordable line of jewelry, with prices ranging from $14 to $26, although they’re on sale right now at kohls.com.
So I had to go to the mall to return two pairs of boots yesterday and the Kenneth Cole jewelry in Younkers (one of the Bon-Ton stores) caught my eye. It’s a fairly classy line, nothing too out there or glamorous. Just the right amount of bling without being too gaudy.
Here is a small selection of earrings that I liked from the line:
I looked at some of the other department store websites and many of those websites carry Kenneth Cole jewelry as well. It’s a fairly moderately priced brand, with earrings ranging in price from $18 to $38.
I posted a pair of Monique Péan earrings in my geometric earrings post a while back. I love her earrings so much that I thought I would share more of her collection with you all. Now, being the poor college graduate I am, I probably would never buy these unless I came into some excess money somehow. However, they are just too beautiful not to share. Enjoy!
Most of the earrings, if not all, are made with walrus ivory, diamonds, fossilized wooly mammoth, or buffalo horn. So, obviously not exactly PETA friendly, but beautiful nonetheless. These are available at Barneys New York.

In my undergraduate study, I had to opportunity to attend on-campus events put on my our Indian Students’ Association. Most of the events were for annual celebrations, which means people dressed up in traditional Indian clothing and of course, jewelry! Indian jewelry worn for celebrations is often elaborate and made with gold.
Exclusively.In is a website dedicated to daily private sales on Indian fashions, home decor and travel. The sales are available for a limited time with limited quantities. I think of it as the Indian version of Rue La La. Here’s a brief preview of what’s currently available:
You have to join to see the deals but it’s definitely worth it.
Swarovski makes beautiful jewelry with very sparkly crystals. Everytime I walk by their store, I swoon, lol. Here is my Swarovski wishlist, in case I ever win the lottery.
What’s on your Swarovski wishlist?

These earrings are from Francesca’s Collections. Francesca’s is great because they’re almost always having some sort of sale on their jewelry and most of their jewelry is unique and high quality without being super expensive.
While I’m sure these earrings are not real gold, they are sturdy enough to give the illusion that they are. Exact price is unknown since they change their inventory so frequently but they were under $15.
The earrings are simple enough that you can dress them up or down. I wore them today with a red school t-shirt, skinny jeans, and black/white striped flats.
