This is fairly expensive for gold pvd--I wouldn't recommend spending more than $30-50 for pvd, plated, vermeil, or gold fill unless you're getting something really unique. In this price range I would recommend looking at either sterling silver or solid gold jewelry.
Mejuri would be my recommendation for where to look for more accessible jewelry, they have plenty of silver jewelry in this price range. You can also look at Sarraf or eBay/Ruby Lane for cheaper things but the browsing experience is a bit overwhelming if you don't have some baseline knowledge of jewelry. If you're ok with pvd/fill/plated I would just look on etsy or Amazon, it'll be way cheaper.
Jacoje is another brand that sells affordable jewelry-- I've never bought from them personally but I've heard good things and the owner has some good youtube videos from what I've seen.
@I Forgot I’m mainly looking for silver. So would you say jaxxon is too expensive for plated jewelry? I also was looking at sites like serge reminds and craftd London so I’m not sure whether those are good or not
It looks like a lot of Jaxxon's silver jewelry is actually silver pvd, and it's not obvious whether you're getting solid silver or plated without digging deeper than I'd like. Based on their marketing, prices, and lack of clarity about materials I wouldn't recommend Jaxxon at all.
Some other people on the server have bought from Serge Denimes and like it, I think they have interesting designs and are clear about materials and that's a good place to look.
Craftd London doesn't sell sterling silver--it's rhodium plated steel, and "silver" refers to the color. I think this is deceptive, but they're not the only people I've seen do this.
All of the places that I recommended have silver jewelry except Jacoje. We also have a https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1137088371055927416 thread where a lot of people shared their recommendations
Thx for the help
I’ll look deeper into serge denimes
@I've never played Castlevania would you consider this a good deal though? It’s from Jaxxon and I’m pretty sure these bracelets are silver plated
It’s on sale so I figured I might go for it
If you divide the price by two, each bracelet would be 64 bucks
I already gave my recommendations about this, and it's your decision whether you'd like to take them. I would say not to order from Jaxxon for the reasons I listed above.
You can find equivalent sterling silver jewelry for that price
Which websites?
I know you said serge denimes is good but is there any others
I mentioned a few earlier in this thread: Mejuri and Sarraf, or buying secondhand on eBay or Ruby Lane
Yo @I've never played Castlevania
