12 best ladies’ jewellery under S$1,000

It’s finally the season of Christmas parties and Secret Santas. Sometimes, finding a good gift for a female loved one or colleague can be hard. Good quality jewellery, makeup and clothing products, even those on the lower end, are rather pricey. However, if you are looking for the best ladies’ jewellery under S$1,000, you have come to the right place.

Here, I have curated a list of 12 and every piece is simple and dainty, with splashes of colour here and there. Whether she prefers silver/white gold or yellow gold jewellery, we have an option just right for her.

What makes it the “best”?

Of course, when we think of good jewellery, we think of brands like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels along with all those other high-echelon brands. However, with the budget we’re working with, the big brands aren’t an option. So, what constitutes a good piece of affordable jewellery?

  • Design: Women’s jewellery is simple and dainty with a single, solid colour. An exception can be made for dual tones or tiny splashes of colour. Preference between white gold/silver and yellow gold also matters — and this list contains both.

  • Metal: The chains of necklaces and bracelets are often silver or gold-plated. The plated pieces often require effort and regular maintenance to prevent rusting and discolouration . 

  • Attention to detail: Jewellery requires a lot of detail. The design of the band, cut, setting, and placement of the diamonds all determine the overall look of the piece.

  • Value for money: With the price point of each piece, there are also many caveats. Some pieces on this list have low water resistance and must be removed before showering or various water activities to prevent rust. So, considering the quality relative to the price is crucial.

  • Versatility: Jewellery can make or break a woman’s outfit. These pieces are all made of universal colours, with pops of red, blue, and turquoise to add beautiful contrast.
