I just spotted a bracelet there I am going back for:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/jewelry/bridalspecialoccasion/fashionjewelry/bracelets/PRD~483321/Simply+Vera+Vera+Wang+SilverTone+Pearl+Flex+Bracelet.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStor.....acelet.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry/page/2#post-189772 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:15:45 +0000 Isabel 189772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maya - I am late to the party yet again!</p> <p>I love Lane Bryant too. But I get most of my stuff from HSN or QVC. There stuff is decently priced and really good quality, especially during clearances. ( The wardrobe guy for Oprah recently said that these were his two favorite places for costume jewelry too !!! )</p> <p>I am going to get this ring, sterling, chrome diopside ( which I LOVE ) and prasiolite ( which I also love ) for $60 + shipping !</p> <p><a href="http://jewelry.hsn.com/colleen-lopez-9-3ct-prasiolite-and-chrome-diopside-sterling-silver-ring_p-5701924_xp.aspx?web_id=5701925" rel="nofollow">http://jewelry.hsn.com/colleen.....id=5701925</a></p> <p>I would also hightly recommend the steel jewelry at both sites. It is really inexpensive, of the moment and tough as, well, stainless steel. I have several pieces and love them.</p> <p>IE :</p> <p><a href="http://www.qvc.com/cgen/render.aspx?qp=class%7C1198&#038;ref=GJE&#038;cm_ven=GOOGLEPAID&#038;cm_cat=JEWELRY&#038;cm_pla=STEELBYDESIGN&#038;cm_ite=STEELBYDESIGN" rel="nofollow">http://www.qvc.com/cgen/render.....ELBYDESIGN</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry/page/2#post-177213 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 19:10:02 +0000 mgshakes 177213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might not be the person to answer this since I don't actually wear jewelry, yet, but I'm seriously contemplating doing so, but here's what I've turned up so far:<br /> *I second the ASOS, Novica, and 10000 Villages suggestions.<br /> *There is actually the rare inexpensive jewelry online sample sale, like this <a href="http://www.ruelala.com/event/all/22514#">Kenneth Cole one</a> going on at RueLaLa now. But of course it's annoying to have to keep checking all the sample sale sites to see if such a sale is in progress. If you like modcloth stuff, <a href="http://www.swirl.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.swirl.com</a> might have jewelry that appeals to you.<br /> *I know search engines run our lives, but etsy is sooo much better if you just avoid that searchbar at all costs! Find just one item you like, using the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/time_machine2.php">Time Machine ^2</a> or one of the other methods on the "Buy" page, and then "see who hearts this item" to locate users with tastes that are similar to yours. (Ok, after describing this process I will admit it sounds tedious.)<br /> Good luck ... to both of us... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177177 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:42:03 +0000 Anonymous 177177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have an Ann Taylor outlet? They have some nice pieces, although more classic than you might want. You might try a craft store like Michaels and pick up an inexpensive glass pendant and leather cord to put it on. They had some beautiful glass for about $3-$4 not long ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177140 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:26:43 +0000 Maya 177140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our store is teeny tiny. I'm surprised it would be so small and sparse. This is NYC! It could potentially be their busiest, most successful store.</p> <p>I'm not giving up on it, but I don't think I'll drop in as frequently. I've been checking in once every 10 days or so. Might go once every 3 weeks instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177136 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:22:56 +0000 Sarah 177136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it must be the stores. My store has a huge jewelry section, awesome shoes, and other accessories. We have at least 12 racks of jewelry. I'm like a kid in a candy store, yikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177132 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:17:43 +0000 chewyspaghetti 177132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya- when a new store opens (not just Rack, but I find this for many discount stores) it will take a while for them to build up merchandise. Don't give up on Rack. My go to's are Target, Kohl's, Forever 21 (although you're right that in lately they have been less than impressive- give it a month), American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic Outlet, and Cost Plus World Market. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177127 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:12:51 +0000 Maya 177127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not ignoring everyone's replies! Just sorting through everything and will report back...</p> <p>You know, I have to say, the Rack has been a major disappointment. Not just for jewelry but everything. The shoe selection is pathetic, the dresses are either flimsy knits from the juniors department, or occasion dresses. There are 3 stands of jewelry: One is all Betsey Johnson, one is all pearls, and one is Fossil and Lucky...very bohemian. Some of the stuff, while generously discounted and perfectly lovely, is still well out of my price range. I found a gorgeous Vince cropped denim jacket, but I can't afford it at $98 anyway. I guess it's just not for me. In fact I know it's not, because the only items I have bought from there so far have been gifts for other people! Maybe it's just this specific store. I'm not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177114 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:49:49 +0000 Sarah 177114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom Rack! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177092 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:52:16 +0000 Vani 177092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I always have some to great success at Urban Outfitters, Target, Express &amp; Charlotte Russe. And always pop in to the no-name costume jewelry stores, I have found a few gems there sometimes. I love the red flower necklace. Oh, and when you have time, go over to <a href="http://www.smilesgowitheverything.com">Diana's blog</a>. She does (or used to) a weekly themed Etsy roundup and picks some great stuff. She also has an older post written as a guide to navigating Etsy.</p> <p>ETA: <a href="http://www.smilesgowitheverything.com/2010/03/07/how-to-search-effectively-on-etsy/">Link</a> to guide </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177085 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:59:35 +0000 medusa 177085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also - I think you should get that coral corral necklace, it looks very Maya. If it's too long you could have it shortened? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177084 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:58:18 +0000 medusa 177084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about Lane Bryant? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-177071 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:50:30 +0000 April 177071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I have found some necklaces that I love in the Vera Wang section of Kohl's, and they are very frequently 40% off. I have also been really enjoying the Talbot's selection of necklaces lately, which have the advantage of not (ever) looking cheap but the disadvantage of being in a slightly higher price range. </p> <p>Also, I second Chellebrate's suggestion of JC Penney (or, as we used to call it in high school, Jacques Penne'). An unlikely source, but have a look: <a href="http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/XGN.aspx?DeptID=70737&#038;CatID=70866&#038;cmCatLevel=3&#038;shopperType=G&#038;CmCatId=&#038;mscssid=6437159ccd87245c68093f935117b34e9xMnVNoV5a3oxMnVNoV5a3W200BB5AE0A1AFC2173CF459F1024AB7637841017911&#038;cmAMS_T=G1&#038;cmAMS_C=D8#&#038;&#038;DeptID=70737&#038;CatID=70866&#038;CmCatId=70737" rel="nofollow">http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/X.....atId=70737</a>|70866&amp;PSO=0&amp;Ne=4+5+18+1031+8+904+949+833&amp;SelDim=4~+5~&amp;x5view=1&amp;pagesize=1&amp;shopperType=G&amp;N=4294953100+4294966870+4294965479&amp;SO=0&amp;Nao=0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176788 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 15:43:42 +0000 Steph 176788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I make jewelry, and if you want to purchase the one you liked but think would be too long, you could send it to me and I could easily shorten the chains for you so that it could be shorter. Just let me know (no charge for just shortening some chain for you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176786 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 15:38:22 +0000 Maya 176786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have trouble sifting through Etsy because, and I know this is going to sound terribly mean of me, everything LOOKS handmade and amateurish, which could actually be charming if you have a folksy, art student kind of vibe to how you dress, but I don't. It always amazes me how when I do a very straightforward search, I end up with 10,000 pages of nothingness. While I respect anyone who puts the time and love into these projects, I can't say the results are compelling enough for me. They are always, always, always overly complicated, cheesy, or just not well made. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'm not willing to sift through the thousands of results to get to them. I guess when it comes to jewelry I am a snob.</p> <p>I will have to go through the rest of the links and will post if I find anything... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176707 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 08:23:24 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 176707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest ASOS too. They are very good with giving you length measurements and also photos with items being modelled.</p> <p>Etsy does take some time, what I normally do is add sellers and items that I like to my favourites as and when I see them, then I when I want something I shop from my favourites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176695 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 07:48:28 +0000 RoseandJoan 176695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the ASOS outlet, I like the designsix range at the moment<br /> <a href="http://www.asos.com/Outlet/Jewellery-Watches/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=5540#state=Rf-400%3D12756&#038;parentID=Rf-400&#038;pge=0&#038;pgeSize=20&#038;sort=-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/Outlet/Jew.....38;sort=-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176693 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 07:44:05 +0000 Katiepea 176693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maya, goodness I just had to say that I really love your collection of accessories! </p> <p>Being in Aus, it obviously doesn't make sense to recommend shops, however I have read in the past that Puffenstuff has had quite a lot of success buying accessories from ebay. Could this be a potential idea for you?</p> <p>Otherwise, I have found some lovely retro stuff either at markets or even the op-shops (thrift) stores. Of course, these last two require good luck and patience, but hey, you never know, right?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176674 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 07:05:20 +0000 Kate 176674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love browsing etsy.com for both vintage and handmade jewelry, so I highly recommend that - don't give up just yet! I'm a big fan of search etsy for odd words/colors. Like "mustard" or "burnt", though those aren't the colors you would want. Try using adjectives to describe the style you want. It takes some time, but I've found some amazing stuff that way. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176670 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 06:54:05 +0000 Frances 176670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure this won't be new or different to you, Maya, but I love the 1928 jewelry at Macy's and sometimes find other interesting items in the Monet and Charter Club lines at Macy's, but then, I am kind of traditional and like the antiquey feel of this jewelry. I also like to browse through the jewelry and watches on Amazon.com, where a lot of jewelry lines have a "storefront" and where I can often get good discount deals. Apart from that, I like to shop my local boutique stores for unique items or take a closer look at what street jewelers are selling when I'm in a new city or at a crafts fair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176668 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 06:44:39 +0000 elpgal 176668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Aldo, 10 Thousand Villages and World Market. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176645 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 04:16:59 +0000 Debbie 176645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if you have a Charming Charlies in your area but they have fun things.<br /> <a href="http://www.charmingcharlie.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.charmingcharlie.com/</a></p> <p>Macy's is a great place to find things on sale.</p> <p>I think you need that red flower necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-places-to-shop-for-jewelry#post-176637 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:37:32 +0000 Lisa 176637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like NY&amp;Co. for cheap jewelry that doesn't fall apart in a week.
