The following pieces are great to splurge on so you can invest in heirloom quality stuff, but there’s always some wiggle room to fake it and save Coach Outlet Factory! I’ll show you how to do it!
Chic Stud Earrings:If you have pierced ears, you probably own a pair or two of stud earrings. I love studs because they’re super easy to wear and they go with everything. For something so simple and timeless, stud earrings come in many varieties – from all-metal styles to tiny cuts of your birth stone. Arguably the most chic, however, are pearl and diamond studs.
Today, pearl studs are totally budget friendly–freshwater cultured pearls, even with larger studs Coach Bags Outlet, run under $75. Want to save? Claire’s, Forever 21, and Target always have adorable 3-packs of pearl studs for under $10! When it comes to diamonds, Target and Overstock.com sell deeply discounted stud earrings. If you’re lucky, you’ll find natural quarter-carat studs on “The O” for under $100!
Another money-saving tactic when it comes to diamonds is to choose lab-created varieties (simulated diamonds grown in a lab) or CZ’s. No one will be able to tell the difference, and you’ll save a ton!

A truly versatile style, pearls come in plenty of varieties. Pick your color, length, size, closure Coach Factory Outlet Online, even type of pearl! Each of these variables can create a different look.
As far as pricing goes, Freshwater pearls will run you the least, Akoya pearls fall in the middle, and South Sea pearls will be the most expensive. Between these varieties, prices can run anywhere from $100 to tens of thousands. Choose wisely!
