Remember when I was so excited to see Tory Burch’s monkey earrings available for pre-order? They’re finally available along with this monkey necklace. It’s not cheap at $450, but it is a conversation piece you’ll keep forever. (That said, I’m still seriously considering the earrings.)

This pair of ear jackets by Katie Diamond Jewelry is the perfect mix of femininity and boho-glam. Topped off with a pretty pink opal, the design was inspired by Egyptian phoenix motifs.

I rarely post J.Crew jewelry because I generally think your money is better spent elsewhere. However, I’m completely on board with this Art Deco necklace. Unlike many J.Crew pieces that have glass or plastic “stones,” real aventurine is set in the brass necklace. Take an extra 40% off the sale price with code SHOPNOW to bring the price under $60.
The challenge with reasonably priced fine jewelry is that most brands opt for simple everyday gems (Vrai & Oro does them beautifully). There aren’t many jewelers who can marry an unexpected design with precious metals and still come in at a price that isn’t astronomical. Dannijo’s new fine jewelry collection accomplishes this with its all-gold pieces. (The diamond options are significantly pricier.) The Spinelli ear jacket is my favorite. It has the brand’s signature irreverence with a delicate touch and gives you the option of replacing the center stud with a favorite from your own collection. I imagine it looks darling with a diamond center or a colorful gemstone. It’s still an investment at $325, but the versatility is worth it.
