Women’s Jewelry $1,500–$5,000

Women's jewelry from $1,500 to $5,000 is where diamond weight becomes noticeable: halo and band rings with more stones, studs and huggies with real presence, diamond pendants and bracelets. It is the range for a first serious piece, an anniversary band or an upgrade from a starter pair of studs. Everything is solid gold, hand-set and hand-finished in Atlanta. When comparing pieces, look at total carat weight (ctw) alongside the setting, since pavé and miracle settings make a modest weight look larger.
