If your idea of a great night out involves walking into the room dripping in gold, then you’ve come to the right place. However, we know that investing in jewelry can get expensive fast — and while we’re all about investment pieces made to last, we know that sticking to a budget is also important. It’s why we’ve combed through the internet to peruse all the chicest gold bling at under $300 — which we admit is not inexpensive! However, with most things (but especially jewelry), you get what you pay for, and anything cheaper than a Sweetgreen salad will likely tarnish with the first drop of water, turn your skin green, or trigger an allergic reaction.
From dainty, stackable rings to statement bracelets, layerable necklaces, and more, here are the best gold jewelry pieces to treat yourself to at under $300.

Tiny as they may be, a strong ring game instantly levels up any outfit. Whether you’re into dazzling stones or love geometric motifs, the perfect ring stack has “you” all over it.
DashDividers_1_500x100Necklaces
There’s something so sentimental about wearing a piece of jewelry around your neck. Maybe it’s the proximity to your heart? Maybe it’s the idea of having a loved one’s initial front and center? No matter your style, a dainty necklace or chain has infinite style possibilities. Wear it alone for a barely there hint of glitz or stacked with friends for a more-is-more vibe.
