How we chose

Goldsmiths has more than 500 pieces of jewellery for her at £100 or less. We picked the best in each kind, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, and favoured real gold and sterling silver over plated metal where the budget allows. Materials and sizes come from Goldsmiths' own details. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes the price you pay.

What it's made of: gold, silver or plated?

  • 9ct gold is 37.5% gold, hallmarked 375. Goldsmiths says lower carats like 9ct are more affordable and more hard-wearing, ideal for everyday wear.
  • Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, hallmarked 925.
  • Plated pieces, like Swarovski's rhodium-plated jewellery, have a thin layer of metal over a base. They aren't solid silver or gold.

The best gift under £100: 9ct gold pearl studs

Questions people ask

What is a good jewellery gift for her under £100?
Real gold earrings are the best value: Goldsmiths' 9ct gold pearl studs or 9ct gold huggie hoops. For a necklace, a sterling silver heart; for a name she'll know, Swarovski or Thomas Sabo.
Can you get real gold jewellery for under £100?
Yes: at Goldsmiths, 9ct gold earrings and chains start well under £100. 9ct gold is 37.5% gold, and Goldsmiths says lower carats like 9ct are more affordable and more hard-wearing, ideal for everyday wear.
Is Swarovski jewellery real silver?
The Swarovski pieces here are rhodium plated, not sterling silver, according to Swarovski's details at Goldsmiths. For solid silver, look for 'sterling silver' (hallmarked 925), like Thomas Sabo's pieces.
What jewellery should I get my mum for under £100?
Something she'll wear every day in the metal she already wears: pearl studs in 9ct gold, or a Thomas Sabo heart bracelet that adjusts to fit.
What jewellery should I get my girlfriend for under £100?
Earrings or a necklace: there's no size to guess. Swarovski's Hyperbola infinity studs or a silver heart pendant both make a good gift.
