This necklace is so much more than it appears! It's sold by Benevolence Los Angeles, which promises to contribute $5 of each purchase to a sustainable water system in Africa through their charity partner H4O. This is a wonderful gift for someone (like YOURSELF) who loves dainty jewelry and giving back.
Promising review: "I wore it for like three months straight and did not want to take it off!!! I think it looks so great. It brings attention to your pearly whites and to the sclera part of your eyes. It doesn't tangle easily and the Little Rock is nice and dainty.

Promising review: "I purchased two of these rings to surround my engagement ring. I wanted to try these to see how they would look with my diamond ring before looking for, 'the real thing.'

" —Dawn

5. A circle pendant you can layer with other jewelry or wear by itself for a minimalist look.
Delicate necklaces are kind of my ~thing~. I have tons of them and never get tired of receiving them as gifts. This circle pendant would be a perfect addition to any jewelry lover's collection — even if they already have a bunch of similar items.
Promising review: "I love this necklace! Just what I wanted! It is dainty, but not a weak chain. I wear it alone or layer it with other jewelry...either way, it is classy. I love the way the light reflects off of it. I also like the way there is a built-in extension to the chain so when I am layering it, I wear it a bit tighter than when I wear it alone." —burkehart
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three styles).
6. A memorable ring with a dainty band made to look like Princess Diana's (and now Kate Middleton's) engagement ring. Any fan of the Royal Family will looooove showing off this sparkler.
Promising review: "I love this ring! It’s a lookalike of my engagement ring but I wear this for work instead and I still get so many compliments and I have to tell people it’s from Amazon haha. I shower with it, I wash my hands 1,000 times a day with it and it hasn’t changed color or changed my skin color! I am really impressed!" —Amazon Customer

8. A stunning pair of hoops that'll act like a cuff and hug right onto your ear — no extra unwanted space!
I have three piercings on each earlobe (plus a cartilage piercing) and am always on the prowl for a cute set to add to my collection. After spotting these simple but pretty hoops, I'm definitely adding them to my Amazon cart.
Promising review: "I got both the white-gold and rose-gold hoops; they’re gorgeous and just tiny enough to wrap around your ear. I also have extremely sensitive skin and have had zero problems with these. Amazing earrings for the price. Will most likely buy again at some point." —Amanda Hasselman
Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three styles).
9. A set of nine lotus-inspired earrings for the look of a cuff but the feel of a simple stud.
This style of earring is so fun! I love that they are styled around lotus flowers and how unique each pair looks. Definitely need these in my life — and so do you.
Promising review: "This set was an incredible value for a beautiful selection of earrings. It’s cool how you put the post in your ear, then a dangle, then the earring back — it’s such an elegant look. The assortment is lovely, including some earrings that are fancier and some more casual. Excellent collection! Highly recommend! A+." —J. McKeon
Get a set of nine from Amazon for $12.99.
10. A lunar necklace, a must-have if you're one of those people that shouts, "Look at the moon!" no matter what phase it's in.
This necklace is delicate and comes in a variety of moon phases.
Promising review: "This is so perfect for me. It's small, delicate, dainty, and very simple. I don't normally wear silver, but this really looks lovely. It didn't twist around my neck all day, I was in very warm weather (sweating and walking around a golf course for several hours) and it wore beautifully. Such a wonderful piece to add to my collection." —KDelo
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in 19 styles).
11. A dainty ring that'll make your minimalist-loving heart flip-flop with excitement thanks to its darling horizontal stone (that's so in right now) and braided band.
Promising review: "Oh my god this is the cutest, most beautiful ring ever. Its so tiny, delicate, and amazing!!! I haven't been this happy with a piece of jewelry in a long time! I'm in love, this is exactly what I wanted and more. It's not true to size though, I ordered a 6 and I'm a 6.5, but the ring is a teeny bit big. " —Anna
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in sizes 5–10 and six styles).

14. A "Happy Pill" charm you can add on to a chain you already have (how thrifty of you!) as a little reminder that you're Awesome with a capital A. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
I was gifted one of these and am obsessed with it for multiple reasons. I love that it subtly pays tribute to my struggles with my mental health (as well as how far I've come!), as it's shaped, quite literally, like an antidepressant pill. However, that's only apparent if you look closely — otherwise it's just a cute smiley face! Additionally, V. Coterie is a woman-owned small business based in Tulsa, Oklahoma that sells products designed to celebrate medical professionals.
Get it from V. Coterie for $78.
15. A pair of evil-eye studs that are said to symbolize good luck and protection, a must-have if you're admittedly a *little bit* superstitious (guilty).
I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I live in Maison Miru products. This woman-owned business is my go-to for dainty but meaningful accessories. These evil-eye earrings are on my own holiday wish list, but I already own their lightning bolt studs, chill pill necklace (my favorite), classic huggie hoops, and tiny crystal studs (just to name a few!).
Get them from Maison Miru for $60.
16. Asymmetrical hoops you can use to *mix up* your standard day-to-day accessories without straying too far from their comfort zone.

Get them from Gran Sans for $60.
17. A gold-plated triangle necklace that'll impress even the pickiest of fashionistas.
Looking for something understated you can wear every day? This triangle beauty is right up your alley! It's nickel-free, lead-free, and hypoallergenic, so even if you're sensitive to certain metals you can rock this necklace.
Promising review: "Really like this necklace. I always wear simple, understated jewelry, and this necklace is great for adding a little splash of color without being a focal point. It's also well-made. I fidget with it a lot and never take it off, and it's holding up really well." —B mueller
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three styles).
18. A leafy ear crawler that can be worn a bunch of different ways, making it one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry you'll own.

Promising review: "I love these versatile earrings. I have had so many compliments on them. I like to wear one in my cartilage and the other side in my lower lobe. I have found several different ways to use them and I bet there are more I haven't discovered. I wear them most of the time now." —Tommie Kessler
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in silver and gold tones).
19. A mountain ring to represent your love of adventure and to take your jewelry collection to ~new heights~.
This adjustable lil' guy can be worn on any finger, making it the ideal ring to go with any of your current jewelry. You're welcoooome.
Promising review: "The ring is not heavy and bulky — so I really like wearing it as a casual ring! It easily fits on top of my other rings. It sits comfortably on my finger and doesn't pinch, even on my thumb where it doesn't fit all the way around. It's a good size and such a cute design. I LOVE it! :)" —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $9.80 (available in three styles).
20. An elongated cushion cut cubic zirconia beauty you'll never want to take your eyes off — and for good reason! Just think of how dazzling it'll look when you show it off in the sunlight. Ugh, gorgeous.
Promising review: "This ring is absolutely beautiful. I can’t stop staring at it. My girlfriends couldn’t tell it wasn’t a real diamond. It sparkles so beautifully. Sizing is on point. I’m in love and I don’t ever want to take it off." —Paulina
Get it from Amazon for $35.62+ (available in sizes 4–10).
21. A Y-necklace to play up any V-neck or dress you already have in your closet. Perfect if you're looking to add some va-va-voom into your look.
Promising review: "I did not expect too much based on the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. I accidentally wore this into a pool and it did not fade or tarnish. Have worn in several times. The necklace is sturdy, subtle and very sexy when paired with a low cut top." —Me
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in six styles).
22. Minimal threader earrings that'll flawlessly accent your Ariana Grande-style ponytail.
Promising review: "These earrings look really elegant, but in a modern, non-fussy way. They don't look cheap. I receive numerous compliments when I wear them. I was concerned that they would tangle in my hair (I have long, thick, curly hair), but that hasn't been an issue even when I wore it down." —dropdeadmediocre
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
23. A Little Words Project beaded bracelet you can count on to give you a boost of positivity whenever you glance down at it.

24. A delicate diamond band, perfect for someone who works with their hands and worries about a raised stone snagging on something but would still appreciate a little *sparkle*.
Promising review: "LOVE it!!! It matches my engagement ring PERFECTLY! It’s shiny, and sparkly, and seems to be well made. I’ve worn it 24/7 for a week now and it’s still shiny and sparkly and seems quite durable (I’m hard on jewelry). It’s gorgeous and you will NOT be disappointed!" —Renay
Get it from Amazon for $104.90+ (available in sizes 4–10 and three metals).
25. A glamorous set of ear crawlers that'll have anyone seeing stars when they catch a glimpse of 'em in the mirror.
Promising review: "These are just the right size for my ears and stay 'climbing' without much pressure and no pain. I also like that they don’t bang on my earbuds when I walk. It’s worth noting that the stars are shiny and sparkly but the small size of each individual rhinestone keeps them from being too flashy." —1277529
Get it from Amazon for $19.89.
26. A Medusa necklace to help you channel your inner-badass whenever you wear it — not to mention it'll definitely bring a stylish edge to your accessory game.
I have two necklaces from this mother-and-son-owned company, including this awesome Medusa piece. It's sturdy but somehow still feels delicate. I love the way I can layer it with other necklaces I already own. 20% of all proceeds of this style will go to help women in need. The brand has hand selected an array of charities, such as The American Nurses Foundation, CancerCare, the NAACP, The National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, Emily's List, and The Trevor Project, that they donate to on a rotating cycle.

27. A set of six stainless-steel stud earrings you can mix and match with the pricier jewels you've collected over the years.
Promising review: "I have somewhat sensitive skin and it has historically been difficult to keep my ear piercings healthy. I've worn the same two pairs of these earring (I have doubles on my lobes) from this set for months. They have not tarnished or caused any discomfort. This is surprising because of how inexpensive this set is." —Katelyn Fern Adams
Get them from Amazon for $10.98+ (available in four styles).
28. A pearlescent ribbon collar necklace to help you give any top or dress a Peter Pan vibe.
Get it from Anthropologie for $60.

My sister-in-law gifted this to me and her other bridesmaids as a thank you for being in her wedding and it quickly became one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. It's well-made, beautiful, and goes with all my other baubles.
Promising review: "I was shocked at the price of the necklace for what you get! I would have assumed it to be much more expensive. My husband gifted it to me for Valentine's Day and it's my new everyday necklace, It can go with everything from a night out to your yoga pants!" —Taylor

The presentation is special and I wear my daughters all the time because it’s so sweet, dainty, and looks wayyyyy more special and expensive than I thought when I first purchased. Perfect sweet special little gift. Everyone will think you spent more." —Cass
Get it from Amazon for $13.80 (available in 52 styles).
32. Three pairs of stainless-steel hoops, to get your hanging earring collection off to a good start.

Promising review: "Love this set!! Super inexpensive, but look very expensive. Best thing is they are very secure — however if my toddler yanks at my earrings, they will easily slide off. This is actually a good thing, so I don’t have to worry about him tearing my earlobe. They have never fallen off on their own. I’ve bought two pairs now, one for myself and one for a gift. It won’t be the last time I repurchase." —Edna
Get a set of three from Amazon for $8.99.
