The Best Expensive-Looking Jewellery Under £50, According to a Fashion Editor With Rich Taste

Jewellery is a key component of every outfit I assemble. I tend to keep my styling simple, so these finishing touches really make an impact. In my early twenties, I was rarely seen without chunky sterling silver rings stacked on every finger. Now, I’ve transitioned to gold, but working within a limited budget has sharpened my ability to find jewellery that looks expensive without the hefty price tag.

In fact, you don’t need to spend more than £50 to find elegant necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings that look far more premium than their price suggests. However, there are a few things to consider. Silver pieces tend to be more affordable, and you can even find genuine sterling silver treasures in the £30-£40 range. If you prefer gold, avoid overly shiny, bright yellow designs, as they can look slightly cheap. Opt for gold-plated pieces for a more refined, authentic finish.
