Affordable jewellery brands for marking a special occasion but affordable

[Irelanda]

Hi there,

I’d like to buy a nice piece of jewelleryfor myself ahead of my daughter’s christening. I like the idea that I could get wear out of it but then pass it on to her in years to come. But I’m on somewhat of a budget, so looking for absolute max spend of £150 for something special. Can anyone recommend jewellery brands to have a look at. Also open to vintage sites but again budget friendly!

Thanks so much in advance!

Doh - sorry for the terrible thread title with affordable twice! No idea how to change!

Hi, have a look at a site called Clogau, it's Welsh gold and silver. Some really nice pieces at reasonable prices. I've had a necklace and my Sister had a ring, both lovely and a little bit unusual.
I'm thinking of getting something for each of my Granddaughters as a gift for when I'm 'gone'. 🤣

Have a look at Anna Calvert

Dinny Hall

Another vote for Clogau. I think they supply the wedding rings for the royals. I’ve had things for under £150/200 there

I’ve had some nice items from Honey Willow in Bath (and online).

Sheila Fleet has some beautiful jewellery in that price range - the daisies and swallows are lovely - or Alison Moore, in Orkney, makes gorgeous semi-precious ring stacks that you can personalise by using birth month stones. (I would put links, but that seems to post pictures now?)

Not a huge range of items but I got a lovely necklace from Livetta. I think it's a small business run by two sisters.

Oh thanks everyone! That’s my homework for this evening!!

Vintage Pink and Thomas Sabo

Thank you! Nice to hear of some brands I’d never come across myself!

Monica Vinader

Oooh they are nice!

I’ve just bought a birthstone necklace and matching bracelet and had some earrings thrown in for free when I signed up to Monica Vinader. It all came to £150. You could get them in your DC’s birthstone and then pass them on when they are older? A bit corny I know, but quite sweet.

Bianca Jones Jewellery

@Irelanda this independent jeweller has some fabulous pieces

Have a look at Nellou Jewellery, they have some lovely lockets and specialise in natural birthstone jewellery. https://nellou.com/products/heart-star-locket-necklace?variant=45469732667530
