I'm not really sure you will find quality silver or gold for $200.

I typically wear jeans, t shirts and athleisure But lately i’m really trying to be more feminine, especially when going out to dinner with my husband etc…I have quite literally no jewelry besides my engagement and wedding ring. Also i’m in my early 40s if that makes a difference in your suggestions.

Can you recommend a subtle, nice necklace to wear when wearing a dress etc…? Also i’m not rich so maybe like $200 and under? I have no idea what they even cost to be honest.

Thank you!


I have a lot of jewelry and I think it is worth it to buy real gold and silver (the few “fashion” things left that are NOT disposable) and to wear pieces that are special to you either because someone special gave them to you or you could get them somewhere special or you just love how they look.

Even fashion jewelry is expensive and I am loathe to spend money on something I don’t really love or that doesn’t make me feel happy. Find something special that makes you feel pretty or happy.

Vermeil sucks. Would never buy again. Got a pair of earrings from Merjuri in that material and the quality is garbage, tarnished almost immediately.

OP, Quince has good prices on basic jewelry items that IMO are good quality (I got a pair of gold hoop earrings from them and really like them). I liked the earlier suggestion about a simple gold chain and some pendants that reflect your interests/personality. Or you could wear it on its own.

Honestly, OP, start cheap with a $60 necklace from Kendra Scott or somewhere similar and see if you actually get in the habit of wearing it. No reason to spend $200+ on something if you're not going to wear it.

How do you know?


OP you should match the color of your rings. Not your, uh, skin.


DP. This is absolutely false. Of course you should choose the metal that flatters your skin tone.


No ones answered this how do you know your skin tone.


Do you look better in gold or in silver? You can also check your veins on the inside of your arms. If they're green, you're "warm" and look better in gold. Blue veins = cool, look better in silver/platinum.

I spent decades wearing gold. Then I finally realized how sallow and washed out I looked with gold earrings, necklaces, etc. I tried wearing silver and couldn't believe the difference. Everything just looked so much better. And yes, I have blue veins.


I have blue veins and golden skin tone and gold looks so much better on me.

I love Satya! I've been buying from them since the early 2000s and the quality is great


Aren't they just gold plate?

Don't get vermeil. It's the worst and is basically worthless. Either spend more and get solid gold or just get sterling silver. I'm just always disappointed in my vermeil and how awful it looks a year later. I've been told gold doesn't bond well to the metal underneath, unlike plated silver.
