I bought my gold hoops from Quince. I've been wearing them every day for two years. But OP, any jewelry store will have nice patterned gold hoops like that - either 14K or gold plated and they will all look nice.

Yes, there is a brand called Pavoi that has all the dupes.


Pavoi is hit or miss but I have two necklaces that I wear frequently and have held up really well.

The second one is super basic for the price.

I honestly get my gold hoops from Old Navy. I buy about three pairs of the ones I like, so that way if one falls out, it’s no big deal and I have a replacement, especially if I’m traveling. I have lots of really jewelry and I don’t wear it to work because they all have stupid backs and fall out. I also go to the costume jewelry area of Nordstrom or Macys and see what they have there that I like. They can have some interesting items that will run in the $100 -$200 range.

People who know will know you are wearing fakes or dupes.
Get nice classic pieces you can afford.
Or prowl estate sales, consignment shops. I took a lot of good jewelry to Treasure Hound a few years back.

These are just gold hoops. You don’t need to have a “copy” to get something with similar vibes and presence. I don’t think OP is trying to have people recognize or be fooled about the brand of jewelry.

Go to a local jewelry store - pampillonia, Boone and sons. They’ll help you find something similar.

Also the real real is kind of great for jewelry. I don’t think it’s a steal or anything but reasonable and easy to search.

Why not get other simple jewelry while saving up for the trinity earrings as a self-congratulatory gift?

Just go to a place like dominion jewelers and shave them made. They will be a fraction of the cost without the name brands.

Later this fall I will be starting a new role in my company that is more client-facing and I've been thinking about getting some new jewelry that is modest/conservative but will give me some more presence since the default is dark colored suits in our office. I want to get these, but do not have the means to get the real brands at this price point - any recs for websites that have similar looking jewelry of luxury brands? TIA!
