Shopping for jewels often starts with what you're in the market for and what your budget is. Classic fine jewellery brands like Cartier, Bulgari and Chopard will always be around, but they’re not your only options — many of our go-tos are some of the best affordable jewellery brands.
We broke the list down by the following categories: demi-fine jewellery, fine jewellery, fashion jewellery, and lab-grown diamonds to help you find just what you're looking for. Here's what you need to know:
If you're really considering the materials and craftsmanship along with the overall aesthetic, the below should help you make a start. From celebrity-loved gold hoops to high-quality diamond jewellery, there’s plenty of shine to go around — ahead, the best jewellery brands to shop in 2026.
DEMI-FINE JEWELLERY
Think of this category as the jewellery equivalent of your wardrobe essentials: versatile, endlessly wearable, and well-made. The pieces tend to be crafted from either 14-karat gold or 18-karat-gold-plated vermeil and are available at more attainable price points, typically £100 to £500. (You'll find plenty of great gift ideas here, too.)
The name Monica Vinader might make you think of the royals, as both Kate Middleton (who's worn the Siren Wire earrings, above) and Meghan Markle (a fan of the bracelets) have been seen wearing its pieces. But there’s a lot more to Monica Vinader than being a palace favourite: In 2020, the brand made a turn toward sustainability and began prioritising materials like recycled sterling silver and recycled gold vermeil — as well as sustainably sourced diamonds, gemstones, and pearls. Some designs also have a “product passport,” allowing you to trace the origins of the piece. There are also several Monica Vinader piercing studios if you happen to find yourself in need of a new spot for sparkles.
“Chances are if I'm wearing ‘everyday’ jewellery, it's from Monica Vinader. As well as offering more elevated pieces, MV does the basics incredibly well. So well, in fact, that I've got almost all of my friends hooked too. You have been warned! Keep an eye out for their iconic sale periods, too, as you can often pick up bestsellers for up to 50% off.” – Georgia Trodd, GLAMOUR UK Senior Commerce Writer.
- Price range: £24 - £3495.

Mejuri is great for finding jewellery pieces that look more expensive than they are, which might be why celebs and their stylists love the brand so much – everyone from Selena Gomez to Hailey Bieber, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo has worn something from Mejuri.
“I don't think there's a single thing from this brand that hasn't been on my wishlist at some point. The brand can truly do no wrong. I particularly love their diamond pieces though – I mean, duh – as they never feel too inaccessible, even more so during their iconic Diamond Week sale.” – Georgia Trodd, GLAMOUR UK Senior Commerce Writer.

Lynette Ong began Edge of Ember around the time she moved from her native Singapore to London. The brand's initial collection is what propelled it into success, and continues to drive it today, but collaboration designs (like the one with Victoria Magrath, for example), as well as its birthstone offerings, are another thing people can't get enough of. Edge of Ember only partners up with producers that share their values, too. That means certified members of the Responsible Jewellery Council, who pay at least living wages, are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and working proactively towards a more sustainable future.

LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS
A lot of the brands on this list already have sustainability practices baked into their process — either by producing locally, ethically sourcing stones, or using recycled or reclaimed materials (or combination of all). A few are taking it a step further and focusing solely on lab-grown diamonds. Get to know them below.
Pandora is the world’s largest jewellery brand. No, that isn't an exaggeration. Its jewellery is sold in more than 100 countries through more than 6,500 points of sale, including more than 2,500 concept stores. The headquarters are in Copenhagen, but the brand employs 32,000 people worldwide and crafts its jewellery at two LEED-certified facilities in Thailand using mainly recycled silver and gold. We love the label for many reasons, but the biggest one has got to be that its committed to leadership in sustainability and has set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% across its own operations and value chain by 2030.
They've just recently collaborated with London-based fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia on an exclusive range of engravable symbols (like the padlock charm above), sketched by Ahluwalia herself. It's only available until September, though, so act fast.
