Budget or Bougie
Savvy shoppers and seasoned stylists, at Medley one of the best things about our brand is that we cater to all kinds of stylish jewellery connoisseurs. Here, we’re all about mixing and matching high-quality plated with your treasured 10k gold and knowing that we’ve got you covered for quality no matter where you fall.
By offering such a range, we're very proud to be able to dupe ourselves! This means you can often achieve a very similar stack with our white topaz / natural stoned jewellery as you can in some of our most sought-after diamond and 10k pieces, we do this for two key reasons:
1. EVERYONE deserves to feel unbelievable in their styling and pricepointshouldn't dictate your access to great qualityjewellery.
2. In a similar essence to 'try before you buy' we're also aware that solid 10k gold jewellery is an investment, and sometimes it pays to try a style on (for a while), before making it more official with a 10k option!
Can You Guess the White Zircon and Diamond Look?
Let’s play a little game! Below, we’ve styled two stunning jewellery stacks— one on a budget, featuring our high-quality plated pieces, and one a bit more bougie, showcasing our 10k gold and diamond collection. Can you guess which stack is the more luxurious one?
If you guessed the first image as your bougie bling stack, you’d be correct! But as you can see, both stacks give off a similarly chic vibe—proving that you can achieve a high-end look, regardless of your budget.
How to Achieve Your Favourite Jewellery Looks on a Budget
Now that we’ve shown you how to dupe yourself at Medley, let’s talk about how to achieve your favourite jewellery looks on a budget without compromising on style or quality.
Accessorize Beyond Jewellery:We know that accessorising plays a key role in elevating any outfit. Beyond jewellery, scarves, and belts can also instantly add a touch of personality to your ensembles. Sometimes all you need is one statement pair of earrings that you love and wear (over and over) but then freshen this up with something fun, like a bit of ribbon!
Mix and Match Basics with Bold Statements: Just like in clothing, the key to great jewellery styling is to mix high-quality, versatile basics with fun, seasonal pieces. Invest in well-fitting helix styles, a great pair of 10k gold or 925 sterling silver sleepers, and a good quality fine chain. Then, add a statement 18k fine gold-plated earring or bold bracelet to elevate your look.
Invest in the Classics: Start by adding easy classics to your collection. These are pieces you’ll wear day in and day out—like a pair of simple hoops, a delicate necklace, or a versatile ring.
Seasonal Statements: Once you have your basics, it’s time to have some fun! Look for square, drop, or statement rings that add personality to your look. These are the pieces that can take your outfit from ordinary to extraordinary (and being plated, tend to be a little kinder to your back pocket!
