You walk by that expensive store window on Jewelers Row, pause, and keep walking. This time, stop and go inside. Jaime Silverstein’s jewelry, j.magnolia, is all the glitz without a price tag to drag you to your grave.

While attending George Washington University, Silverstein knew she could create beautiful pieces for less than available at all the high-end boutiques she frequented. Her precious and semi-precious pieces are popular for brides and bridal parties and incorporate silver and unique metals. “When I was in college, I loved jewelry but I wasn’t a fan of the designer prices,” said Silverstein.

With custom gemstone earrings under $100 and necklaces ranging from $115 to $200, what’s not to love? Our favorite of Silverstein’s designs is the multi-color gemstone and Swarovski Crystal necklace. This piece features multi-toned Swarovski crystals, smoky quartz, citrine, jasper and other gems, just to name a few. The earth-tone colors are eclectic enough for work yet can be paired with your favorite black dress for a night out.

If you need something for your bridesmaids to wear on your special day, Silverstein’s earrings add the perfect extra-touch. The “Three Flavors” collection isn’t overwhelming in style or price, with green amethyst, smokey quartz and clear quartz dangling from sterling silver clasps. The Three Flavor earrings are available for $89, a steal for a quality hand-made piece.
