Caitlyn Minimalist is an Asian woman-owned Etsy shop based in LA and specializing in some of the most truly special custom jewelry pieces I have ever seen.
I bought these earrings about a month ago and have been wearing them everyday! I am not gentle with my jewelry β I wear them to sleep, while I shower, etc. I also have v, v sensitive ears and I'm happy to report that these haven't irritated my skin or tarnished even a bit! I have three sets of lobe piercings and wear these alongside my plain gold huggie hoops and they are the perfect complementary piece.
Promising review: "Absolutely love them so much!! They are an everyday earring now!! Shipping was so fast and the customer service was so quick on getting back to me :) would highly recommend and will definitely be buying again!!" βKayla Dyer

I just bought these despite there being ~zero~ reviews and I am so happy with them! I have shoulder-length relatively thick hair and they're the perfect size. I don't have to adjust them too much but they're also not so tight that they snap on my fingers when I do. I love the array of colors, too.

Promising review: "Legit the cutest, most affordable, and trendiest necklace I own. I am very impressed with the quality for the price. I havenβt had it very long, but I can see this lasting for me for a long time as long as I take care of it." βKaLea Keefer

Promising review: "These are super comfortable and more breathable than most other bands! I picked this up because a coworker recommended I get them for my new Apple Watch to help with the heat rash and tightness on my wrist and oh my goddddds. This is a blessing." βVictoria Gullick

Promising review: "If you can't wear fake jewelry, obviously these aren't for you but they are SO, SO, SO CUTE! So lightweight, super cute on, and exactly as pictured! Definitely worth the price point! Wore on an FL vacation and got so many compliments!" βJoey

Promising review: "This necklace is super cute, I get compliments on it often. Itβs shiny and durable, Iβve worn it in showers and sweat in it. Lotions and things will build up on it though so take care to wash it off. The easiest thing to use for cleaning sterling silver is a little dish soap! Itβs also great for layering with other necklaces. These necklaces are often sold out on popular jewelry sites so Iβm glad I found this because I wanted one for a while. I hope to get a longer one soon because this one turned out to fall a little shorter on me than I anticipated. I still wear it nearly everyday though." βishopalot

Ten Wilde is a Black-owned and woman-owned all-gold jewelry line based in LA. Mom will be in good company as the brand's designs are also beloved by celebs like Lily Singh, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Delilah Belle.
If you haven't already noticed, I have a ~thing~ for simple gold jewelry β especially versatile pieces I don't have to fuss with. I throw these babies on whenever I want to look like I put in a little more effort than usual and they totally do the trick! My favorite part is how lightweight they are β they don't tug at my ears or feel heavy after hours of wear.
Promising review: "So cute! I feel like Princess Jasmine wearing them when normally I feel like a Princess Mia pre-makeover." βKate H.
Get them from Ten Wilde for $30.
Promising review: "I have ALWAYS wanted a septum piercing, but even then I was unsure if I would like it/if it look good on me. I have always been terrible about commitment. So when I stumbled across this pierce of jewelry, I figured it would be the perfect way to test drive this piercing! It was smaller than expected, but the perfect little 'something.' I have received so many compliments and no one has ever guessed it was fake! I am unable to get the piercing right now because of work restrictions, but I will be buying more faux piercings from this page!" βLindsey Manuel Guidry
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 styles).
Promising review: "Love these scarfs!! Beautiful patterns and feel very smooth and luxurious. Exactly what Iβve been looking for to use for knotted headbands/bandana in the summer. Iβve gotten lots of compliments and will likely repurchase. Also, the sellerβs packaging and personal note with your order is a sweet touch. Thank you!" βKate

Promising review: "These sunglasses are my favorite thing now. They are so durable and sturdy, you'd think you paid a boat load for them. The shape is good, not too overbearing on your face and gives a little it of an edgy look. I bought them to go on vacation and I have been wearing them all the time since. Totally recommend." βMichelle Maroon
Get them from Amazon for $13.98 (available in nine colors).
Promising review: "I love the variety of colors; one for each outfit! First I tried wearing it over my boring rubber band because I wasn't sure if these were sturdy enough to hold but they seem to do quite well on their own. Have worn the green one two days straight and doesn't seem to stretch out. Appreciate the zip pouch as well." βMSM

I've personally owned these huggies for a few months now and I love them! They're super easy to wear, don't irritate my sensitive skin, and work really well with my other plain gold huggie hoops. I was worried at first that they may be too heavy, but they're actually super lightweight.

Promising review: "These bracelets are super cute and have substantial weight to them. I got the five stack and couldnβt be happier! They are super cute on their own or stacked with other bracelets. These are trending right now, but they are actually quite classic. Love them! For reference, I have a tiny wrist and these fit nicely, not too big, not small, either." βLil Perch

Promising review: "So far I absolutely love these rings! Iβve washed my hands with them on twice but I would air on the side of caution and avoid that as much as possible since they arenβt real gold. But theyβre the perfect chunky gold rings and so fun!! Iβve had them for a month now and I donβt see any tarnishing." βThe Tester

Promising review: "These ear cuffs are lightweight and they have just enough sparkle. They look so pretty with the rest of my jewelry. They are easy to slip on and off. Start from the lobe part closest to your face to slip them on and off. Iβm sensitive to fake jewelry, but so far they have not caused me any issues. I have each conch pierced but I wanted to add the ring look without having to mess with the CZ ones I already have in. I have worn them for 24 hours straight now. I will definitely order more. I stacked two different cuffs from the same vendor for a chunky look. I am happy with my purchase so far." βAmazon Customer

Promising review: "These earrings were just the pop of color I needed! They are dressy enough to go with my LBD, but casual enough to wear again. They are silky soft and fairly lightweight for their size. I used the larger disc-like backs that came with them. I received so, so, so, so, so many compliments from just about everyone β perfect strangers crossed the room to tell me how awesome my earrings were. Mid sentence expect to hear 'oh, my gosh! I love those earrings!'" βmatt

Promising review: "I needed simple, smoothly polished, classic stud earrings that were made with quality surgical steel. My ears are extremely sensitive and I have difficulty finding earrings that I can leave in for days and nights at a time without developing skin sensitivities despite daily removal for cleaning. These are perfect. The stems are long enough for adult ears and I received two sets of backs for each pair which I really appreciate! Excellent quality and great price." βAmazon Customer

Promising review: "I have been LIVING in these sunglasses since they arrived at my doorstep!! These are seriously so amazing for this price point. Compared with a pair of mine and a friendsβ Ray-Bans all side by side, the quality of sun protection was the same! These sunglasses are nice and sturdy but they are also super lightweight making them extremely comfortable to wear all day long. (Or in my case, all summer long!) Pink is my favorite color and the rose-colored glasses were just too good to pass up! If the trendy colors arenβt your style, the brown- or gray-toned sunglasses would be just as perfect! I think Iβm going to be ordering a few more colors in this style as well as a few other styles! Highly, highly recommend. Great for a trendy pair of glasses but could and should also be a summer staple in your wardrobe!" βJustice Wilhelm

Promising review: "I really, really like these! I thought they were going to be too small, they aren't. I have thick hair. Thought they would not hold. They do and well! Because they are resin I thought they would break easy. I did drop them a few times on a tile floor and they did not break!!! Very happy with purchase!!! Would buy more!!" βMary Bridget

Chunks is an Asian woman-founded accessories brand started by Tiffany Ju. Its nostalgic designs also include jumbo claw clips and bejeweled combs.
BuzzFeed shopping editor Melanie Aman is a big fan saying, "I recently spent what some would consider to be a silly amount of money on hair clips but these bring me such joy (something we all need right now) that I can justify it. I have straight Asian hair but it's quite thick and these clips do a great job of holding it back without ripping out strands every time I remove them."
Get them from Chunks for $5+ (available in four colors; sold individually or in a pack of four).
Promising review: "I absolutely love these earrings! My sister bought a pair very similar to these from Kendra Scott and ever since I saw hers I wanted them but didnβt want to pay as much as she did. So I set out to find a close match for a fraction of the cost, and bingo! They also arrived very quickly so that was an added bonus. I am all about trendy at a fair price and these earrings are just that. π" βAmazon Customer
