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.
Demi-Fine Jewellery
- Behind the brand: Trendy yet minimalist jewellery that’s fairly priced. Its pieces are crafted mostly from 14-karat solid gold, responsibly sourced diamonds, sterling silver, and 18-karat-gold vermeil.
- Why we love it: Mejuri is great for finding 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 and Olivia Rodrigo has worn something from Mejuri.) Its organic pearl hoops huggies are a Glamour-reader favourite, but you can also find more interesting designs, like ear cuffs and styles for helix or cartilage piercings.
- Price range: Bestsellers like the Dôme earrings (below) and the Daily Stacker ring start at £58. Other popular necklaces and earrings can go anywhere from £100 to £300.
- Behind the brand: The pioneers of demi-fine jewellery, Missoma’s self-proclaimed purpose is to inspire confidence and champion self-expression. Every piece the brand creates is handcrafted, responsibly sourced, and designed in-house at our studios in Notting Hill, London.
- Why we love it: Like all of the other celebs that adore it, Missoma is one of our favourite brands because it makes an outfit – it doesn’t just finish one.
- Price range: £30-£6,500.
- Behind the brand: Astrid & Miyu was founded in 2012 by Connie Nam who was inspired by her mother and travelling. She’d always find quirky and fun pieces for herself on her trips but struggled to find gifts for friends, so saw an opportunity to create an entire brand for this very reason.
- Why we love it: You can find semi-precious materials for more affordable prices, and everything wears extremely well so if you’re looking for tarnish free jewellery then you’ll find it here.
- Price range: Start at around £40 and go up to £435.
- Behind the brand: The name Monica Vinader might make you think of the royals, as both Kate Middleton (who’s worn the Siren earrings, below) 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.
- Why we love it: Easy-to-style jewellery (like these stackable friendship bracelets) that are great for gifting people who have everything. There are also several Monica Vinader piercing studios if you happen to find yourself in need of a new spot for sparkles.
- Price range: Single huggie earrings start around £23.

- Behind the brand: Lynette Ong began Edge of Ember around the time she moved from her native Singapore to London.

- Why we love it: Edge of Ember only partners up with producers that share their values. 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.

Fashion Jewellery
- Behind the brand: From the jewels you’ll find at Amazon Essentials to the viral styles sold via Amazon jewellery brands like Pavoi, don’t overlook it.
