When searching for sleek statement pieces, Mejuri is always at the top of the list. The internet favorite brand is known for its fine jewelry and modern designs—from croissant hoops to bold chain necklaces. The entire catalog is made using recycled materials (like gold and 18k gold vermeil), responsibly-sourced diamonds and AAA-grade gemstones. The Toronto-based company is also big on budget-friendly styles, so you’ll find pieces starting at just $35 that will bring a whole look together.
Aside from their offerings, Mejuri partners with various organizations that help women and non-binary people. In 2020, the brand started the Empowerment Fund to grant money to initiatives like the Indspire: Building Brighter Futures, United Negro College Fund and Black Business and Professional Association.
The brand also stands apart for their sustainable practices, which focus on four pillars: people, planet, product and philanthropy. They have goals for each category, including removing extra carbon during manufacturing, educating customers on their responsibly-sourced products and empowering their community.
All to say that I'll always have a soft spot for Mejuri, but there are other brands out there (like Gorjana and Ten Wilde) that have similar principles, while offering affordable pieces and timeless collections that deserve your attention, too. I compiled a list of 20 brands like Mejuri to check out.
