Reasonably priced gold earring and body jewellery

I've recently re-embraced my love for piercing and I'm having my ears, nose stomach etc steadily repierced.

I'm trying to find reasonably priced real gold (9, 14kt) earrings and body jewellery. Many body jewellery makes are quite expensive (rightly so due to the skill, the work and materials). But I'm currently on a budget and would like some lovely pieces whilst I save for the really lovey makers.

Any recommendations for reasonably priced, pretty earrings etc in real gold very welcome 🙏 please.

Thanks PaintDecisions - just had a look on viVnted and there is a lot of choice and many pieces available. But at the price most sellers want (£250+ per piece) and the fact I'd be worried I'm buying a dupe - this puts me off. How do you check the item is genuine?

I only look at the lower end of the prices and at the labret style - so far I've not found any dupes (anywhere!) for MT labrets as the back of the post is a very distinctive flower shape.

I love BVLA, but they are currently out of my budget. I'm saving for a large oval afgan and plan to add a chain.

Thanks! I will keep a look out for the back.

I've changed out my 5 cartilage piercings for MT labrets now, because I like that the back is really pretty and I wanted very delicate looking beads at the front. Plus I wanted all real gold instead of my usual crap selection of whatever is cheap!

I now need to find some daith hoops that are pretty and not too big for my small lugholes.

I would consider Titanium or even gold plated Titanium from AliExpress if you're on a tight budget
