Affordable Sustainable Luxury Jewelry That You Can Wear Every Day

If you’re looking for affordable, sustainable luxury jewelry, you’ll love Monica Vinader’s collection. Monica Vinader started her namesake company in 2008 with her sister Gabriela. They wanted to bridge the gap between expensive fine jewelry and budget fashion jewelry using sustainable and ethical practices.

Disclosure: As a Monica Vinader Insider (2022-2025), I was gifted a few pieces of jewelry to share on Instagram. I was under no obligation to write this blog post. I also wrote about Monica Vinader’s jewelry in these posts last year, before I partnered with the brand: Gold Vermeil Jewelry: Affordable And Made To Last and 7 Fashion Jewelry Trends For The Minimalist.

My Monica Vinader Jewelry Choices

As an MV Insider, I received the Triple Beaded Choker Necklace, the Deia Locket, and the Gold Vermeil Fine Chain Necklace. I love layering necklaces, but mine are all of a similar length, so I picked a choker and a long chain to have different lengths to play with. Both chains are adjustable, which gives me even more options for styling them.

The Deia locket opens, so I’m looking for the perfect tiny photo to put inside. If you want to personalize this locket, you can add text or a small motif to it. Engraving is complimentary.

Want a really cute gift idea? You can upload a doodle to be engraved onto the Deia Beaded Pendant Charm (which looks like my locket but doesn’t open).

How Monica Vinader’s Luxury Jewelry Is Sustainable And Affordable

Luxury

Fine jewelry or luxury jewelry is made with precious metals like gold and platinum. Fashion jewelry is often made from brass, copper, aluminum, or other cheap materials. Monica Vinader’s collection is either solid 14k gold or gold vermeil (which is a thick coat of gold over sterling silver). She uses stones, ethically sourced diamonds, and pearls in her collections.

Affordable

Of course, the solid gold and diamond pieces are the most expensive of the Monica Vinader collection, but the majority of styles are made with sterling silver or gold vermeil, which makes them much more affordable. The company backs the quality of its pieces by offering a 5-year warranty against damage. You can send back your jewelry for repair should you accidentally scratch or damage it. You can also have them resize your ring. You’ll find details about their warranty here.

Sustainable

You can read more about the company’s sustainable practices here, but the highlights are that they use recycled gold and sterling silver, they are fully carbon neutral, and their gems are ethically sourced.
