Where to find silver jewellery (better quality that Monica Vinader)?

I've just received a second pair of earrings from Monica Vinader that are really underwhelming - the Siren Huggies.

Where should I look for better quality please?

Georg Jensen?

All the mass produced stuff is pretty poor.

You’ll get recommendations here for Etsy but a lot of that is bought from Aliexpress. There are plenty of good independent makers out there but Google makes us hard to find.

Have a look on Folksy which does at least attempt to keep the resellers out!

Try Otis Jaxon otisjaxonsilverjewellery.com/
Unusual and very good quality. I have a bracelet from them which I’ve worn every day for years. After about 5 years, the string broke. I sent it back and they repaired it - and re-strung the matching necklace - for nothing.

Sheila Fleet in Orkney makes beautiful silver jewellery.

I'd go to a good independent jewellers. If they don't have anything I'm sure they can recommend local makers.

I think Monica Vinader is very overhyped and overpriced. I find her pieces quite dreary tbh. I much prefer www.johngarlandtaylor.com

Pre-owned / estate jewelry. I've purchased nice pieces on eBay

Thank you for those suggestions. I do like the Georg Jensen jewellery but would prefer to support a British brand. The Stephen Einhorn jewellery is interesting but astonishing prices for silver!

@savvy7 I have the antique texture silver huggies which are back in stock Feb 15. My sister has ordered a pair too as she likes them.

Just taken a photo of one next to a 5pence coin.

Where to find silver jewellery (better quality that Monica Vinader)?
savvy7 · 31/01/2023 16:03

Is that a 5p coin? The earrings look tiny if so.

I like House of Alyssa Smith - some motorsport jewellery and will do bespoke ?

@sasavvy7 yes 5p. They are quite small but bigger than another pair of huggies I have from Monica Vinader.

I've taken another photo next to a ruler.

Thanks TheCatisBoss, they look a similar size to the MV ones, although they do look more substantial. Maybe I need a larger hoop.

I've bought loads of things from here over the last 10 years - it's good, solid quality stuff. I've never been disappointed with anything.
