Finding good jewellery can be costly, which is why most people opt for something cheaper to elevate their style.

“People want to wear and own expensive jewellery, but it's just not in the cards for many; however, that doesn’t mean they should not wear jewellery at all,” said Blake Asaad, owner, founder, and head designer at Goodstone.

“There’s a way to make inexpensive jewellery look expensive, and you probably already have what you need in your closet right now.”

To make your cheap jewellery look expensive, Asaad suggests dressing up instead of down.

“Pairing a chunky gold necklace with a cashmere sweater or a delicate silver bracelet with a silk blouse adds a touch of elegance and can make the jewellery appear more high-end.”

Below are some benefits of tailored clothing with affordable jewellery:

Enhances the overall look: The contrast between a high-end tailored outfit and affordable jewellery creates a stylish and refined look, making the jewellery appear more valuable than it is.

Affordable access to luxury fashion: Tailored clothing can be expensive but pairing it with more affordable jewellery can give the illusion of wearing luxury fashion without breaking the bank.

Versatility: “Tailored clothing, such as a well-fitted blazer or a little black dress, can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

“By pairing them with inexpensive jewellery, you can easily switch from a casual daytime look to a more formal and elegant evening look,” Asaad added.

Trendy and current: Inexpensive jewellery often reflects current fashion trends, making it easier to stay on-trend without investing in expensive, designer pieces.
