Before you choose
Worth knowing
Cut is where the budget should go
Under $500 the difference between a piece that looks expensive and one that does not is almost entirely cut quality. A well cut smaller stone returns more light than a larger dull one and always will.
Smaller and better beats bigger and weaker
At this budget the temptation is to chase carat weight. The pieces that get complimented are the ones where the proportion is right, not the ones where the stone is largest.
Design does more than size here
Clusters, halos and pave settings use several small stones to create presence that a single stone of the same total weight cannot. That is how this budget buys something that reads as generous.
Good to know
Gifts under $500, answered
A great deal — this is the largest single band in our catalogue. Studs, pendants, bracelets and a range of rings all sit here, and every stone is graded to the same standards as the pieces above it.
No. They are smaller or use a simpler setting. The metals, the certification and the bench work are the same across the catalogue — price follows stone size and complexity, not standards.
Not if the cut is good, which is what we select for. The pieces that look inexpensive are usually the ones where a large, poorly cut stone was chosen over a smaller, better one.
