My philosophy regarding jewelry is either spend or save; I don’t play in the middle.
I’ve been fortunate to receive a few heirloom quality pieces over time, all gifts from my husband to mark significant life events, and I’ll get a little splurgy if I love something, like my Julie Vo collection, but most of the time, I’m not spending.
Because these are our tuition decades, so buying investment jewelry is far from a priority.
And I do this for a living, so I can tell you confidently, that finding inexpensive, quality jewelry with classic, timeless design is almost impossible.
There is, however, one brand we found on Amazon, PAVOI, that is near perfect.
We share their pieces often, and they all become Reader Favorites, but we’ve never rounded them up in an easy-to-shop feature.
So let’s do that today.
All of the items featured below are 14K gold plated with your choice of yellow or white gold.
Affordable Classic Jewelry Finds from PAVOI
When I say I don’t play in the middle, I mean there are price points for costume jewelry I find ridiculous.
For example, I would NEVER spend $200 on a necklace from Banana Republic; instead, I’d encourage you to spend that on a wardrobe basic, like a great pair of jeans or better shoes.
If I’m not spending, I’m NOT spending, and that’s why I like PAVOI.
PAVOI makes quality, sustainable jewelry that you can wear every day.
So you can stay on top of trends without feeling the weight of a hefty price tag. And right now, the trend is timeless jewelry; yay!
Their pieces are made from recycled metals and are packaged in recyclable materials.
And they have 50,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon, so we’re not alone in our praise, with most of their pieces starting at under $20.
PAVOI 14K Gold Plated Lightweight Chunky Open Hoops
These are the earrings that started it all.
I ordered these in early March on a whim, not expecting much from a $15 pair of earrings.
They are amazing, lightweight without feeling cheap, and plated in 14K gold in your choice of yellow or white, in 20, 30, 40, and 50mm sizes.
I regularly wear the yellow-gold option in 20 mm.
These earrings alone have over 40,000 five star reviews and they are absolutely worth they hype.

$15.0014K Gold Plated 3mm Simulated Diamond Tennis Necklace
Tennis style necklaces and bracelets are going to be huge in the fall, and we’re already starting to see them everywhere.
I love that they are being incorporated into casual and loungewear looks, like peeking out of a sweatshirt or layered in a collar shirt.
To try the look with no commitment, PAVOI has a lovely option for under $40 in either 15″ or 18″ (I took the 18″) in your choice of white or yellow gold.

I consider the paperclip necklace a new classic.
It’s so easy to wear, alone or layered with other favorite pieces.
Available in white or yellow gold for only $15.

$13.0014K Gold Plated Curb Chain Adjustable Bracelet
A few years ago I spend $70 on a similar style bracelet from ShopBop and it tarnished within a few weeks.
This bad boy is $15 and still looks new.
Again, you can wear this on its own or layered, in white or yellow gold.
