Good Gifting, Good Jewelry: Under $50

Fifty dollars can go a few different ways: a pair of hoops for everyday wear, a colorful ring, or a necklace with an unexpected detail. This gift guide brings together jewelry under $50 from en route, with designs that range from easy everyday pieces to something a little less ordinary.

The Under-$50 Shortlist

Made to Be Worn

Waterproof jewelry can have a softer side, too. The Waterdrop Necklace features a pale yellow teardrop pendant for a subtle touch of color, while the Carnelian Stone Heart Necklace pairs a deep red heart with a simple gold chain.

Editor's Note: The Waterdrop Necklace and Carnelian Stone Heart Necklace are both $27.

Pearls, With a Twist

Pearls have a way of looking different depending on what surrounds them. On the Liquid Oval Pearl Bangle, a single oval pearl sits between sculpted gold details, giving the piece a vintage feel. The Camille Flower Drop Earrings take a more playful approach, with tiny pearls dangling beneath gold flowers.

Editor's Note: The Liquid Oval Pearl Bangle is $38; the Camille Flower Drop Earrings are $23.

Stones With a Point of View

It's not just the stones that catch the eye — it's the shapes around them. The Petra Multi-Stone Drop Necklace arranges differently colored stones within elongated silver settings, creating a geometric look with plenty of visual interest. The Waterdrop Wave Ring takes a more fluid approach, with a curved gold band following the shape of a single teardrop stone.

Editor's Note: The Petra Multi-Stone Drop Necklace is $36; the Waterdrop Wave Ring is $24.

Before You Wrap It Up

When choosing jewelry for someone else, start with what they already wear. Do they gravitate toward gold or silver, delicate chains or bolder shapes? If you're unsure of their ring size, earrings, necklaces, or bracelets may be easier options. It's also worth checking materials and measurements before placing an order, especially for pieces with a specific fit.

A Little Something for Someone

The best pick is often the one that reminds you of someone right away. If you haven't found it yet, there's more to discover in our Gifts Under $50 Collection.
