Sure, a Pretty Woman-esque shopping spree along Jeweler's Row would be nice, but not every occasion or budget calls for a two-carat dazzler—and truth be told, fashion jewelry can be a lot more fun. From candy-colored bangles to dainty monogram necklaces, the wallet-friendly finds from these 21 Philly-area shops leave no wrist bare and no trend unaccounted for.
Located on the edge of Rittenhouse Square park, this gift shop houses everything from affordably-priced statement necklaces to quirky cufflinks for the guys.
One of South Street's hidden secrets, this vintage shop is housed in a former synagogue. Glittery costume jewelry is front-and-center in jewelry cases that surround the cashier on all sides.
With earrings, necklaces, and rings handmade by studio owner Angela Monaco, Concrete Polish is a must-see for jewelry addicts who like to stay ahead of the trends.
Newly-opened within the King of Prussia Mall Plaza, C.Wonder marks the spot where Kate Spade meets Target. Think brightly-colored bangles and initial charm necklaces that won't break the bank.
Crystal and gemstone jewelry glitters under the lights at Verde. While the boutique is a little on the pricier side, you'll be hard-pressed to walk out empty-handed.
Bohemian yet refined, jewelry at Fishtown's Adorn is all handmade by store owner/designer Sarah Lewis. Her designs are also carried by Free People and Anthropologie.
If you haven't been to Charming Charlie yet, put it on your "must-shop" list. The location within the Plymouth Meeting Mall is huge (12,000 square feet!), with an extensive selection of costume jewelry organized by color.
