Mejuri Jewelry Review & My Favorite Pieces

For years, I didn’t think I was much of a jewelry girl. I felt silly and “overdone” when I wore it. I didn’t know how to style it (like what necklace is supposed to go with what top), so I never bought it. But in the last few years, I’ve realized that I do like jewelry – just not the jewelry everyone else is wearing: I preferred gold when everyone was wearing silver and liked dainty when chunky was in.

Once I started buying and wearing things that felt more natural to me, I fell in love with jewelry. When I found pieces that felt like “me,” I realized how much I loved the finishing touch of a nice piece of jewelry! Now, I don’t feel ready to leave the house until I have earrings and a necklace on (at the very least).

One of the brands that turned me into a jewelry fan was Mejuri. Years before I knew anything about the brand, I was gifted a pair of Mejuri earrings and instantly fell in love with the style and quality. Everything about their style (and business model) was right on target with my shopping habits. And so began my Mejuri obsession.

Now that I own a handful of Mejuri pieces, I thought it was time for a proper review. I had a lot of questions when I was learning about them, so hopefully this review will help answer some of those FAQs and also give you a little shopping inspiration. I vote to not wait for your significant other to buy you jewelry (and maybe buy the wrong kind you won’t wear). Pick it out yourself, buy it, and thank me later.

I also have a video review if you prefer to watch rather than read. You can also watch the same Mejuri review video on my YouTube channel if you prefer watching videos there.

Okay, let’s get right to it.

Mejuri Jewelry Review

Mejuri is a Canadian-based, direct-to-consumer jewelry company that makes fine and semi-fine pieces in a modern style. The idea behind the brand was to empower women to purchase jewelry because the co-founder and CEO, Noura Sakkijha, found that the jewelry industry was primarily focused on men gifting to women. The most impressive part? The pricing. I was blown away by the affordability of their products, especially considering the quality.

In short, Mejuri makes high-quality (fine and semi-fine…I’ll explain this below) jewelry that’s classic, dainty, and easy to wear every day at an attainable price point. Oh, and they make it all sustainably. There’s nothing not to love.

What Makes Mejuri Special?

Mejuri hits the park with affordability and timeless designs. Plus, they use sustainable practices (using recycled materials and traceable sources). It’s rare for me to find a brand that totally aligns with my personal style, especially when it comes to jewelry, but I love absolutely everything Mejuri makes.

Is Mejuri Good Quality?

Yes, it’s very high quality. Mejuri jewelry is fine (all gold) or semi-fine (gold-plated or gold-filled). Cheaper jewelry is typically just plated with a very thin layer of gold, which is why it tarnishes; it simply rubs off. Mejuri does have some plated items, but the plating is much thicker than that of cheaper brands, which helps prevent quick tarnishing. More on that below.

Does Mejuri Tarnish?

With proper care, no. But it also depends on the pieces you have. 14K solid gold jewelry is not prone to tarnishing or discoloration. However, the pieces made with gold vermeil (a thick layer of 18k solid gold on sterling silver) and sterling silver are prone to tarnishing. It’s more affordable since it’s plated vs. solid gold, but the downside is that it is more prone to tarnishing. These tips from the Mejuri website are helpful:

• Vermeil will naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to environmental factors like air pollution, moisture, and items that contain sulfur.
• Store in a safe, dry place—such as an anti-tarnish pouch or case—with the anti-tarnish strip that came with your purchase. This will help to protect your pieces when they are not being worn.

This care guide on Mejuri’s website explains how to properly care for your jewelry.

My experience with tarnishing:

I have had zero issues with tarnishing or discoloration with any of my pieces (including the gold vermeil ones), but I take my earrings and rings off when showering. However, I keep my bracelets on all the time.

I wouldn’t say I’m THE most careful with my jewelry (I leave my bracelets on 24/7, I don’t take my rings off when I wash my hands), but I don’t toss it around carelessly, either. Mejuri jewelry looks far newer than other brands of jewelry I own, even though most pieces are older.

How to clean gold vermeil jewelry:

Proactive maintenance is key. To keep tarnish from setting in, clean your pieces regularly by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth or using Mejuri’s Jewelry Care Kit (Brush & Spray).

Is Mejuri made with real diamonds?

Yes! Mejuri uses real (ethically sourced) diamonds and gemstones (and freshwater pearls). If it says it’s a natural diamond, it’s a natural diamond.

Mejuri is also made with sustainable and ethical materials (including their diamonds). They work with suppliers who are independently certified by recognized standards-getting organizations that focus on health and safety, human rights, fair labor, governance, and environmental protection (click here for more on Mejuri’s suppliers).

You will see a few lab-grown diamonds on their website as well, and those are noted in the name of each piece of jewelry.

How much does it cost?

It varies, depending on the piece, from under $100 to $495+. Mejuri has a wide range of price points and makes pieces with a wide range of materials. Given the quality of its products and the materials used, Mejuri is very affordable compared to what you’d pay for similar jewelry elsewhere. You’re getting the best quality without the mark-ups associated with traditional jewelry stores or other online retailers.

Is Mejuri real gold?

The 14K gold pieces are, indeed, real gold. And so is the 18k gold vermeil (although those pieces aren’t 100% gold, as I mentioned above). You’ll also see sterling silver, 18K gold vermeil, titanium, enamel, ceramic, ethically sourced diamonds, gemstones, and freshwater pearl pieces. The materials they use are the real deal.

Where is Mejuri gold from?

Most of Mejuri’s gold production is done in Arezzo, Italy. The team there works with designers, goldsmiths, and technicians. All of Mejuri’s production sources are listed on its website.

My Favorite Mejuri Jewelry

Here are the pieces I own and wear daily. I’ll also include a few items on my wishlist!

Rings

Pearl Slim Stacker Ring

I recently got this Pearl Slim Stacker Ring and love its simplicity. It’s around $150, and since it’s 14K yellow gold, it will last a lifetime. The stone size is 3mm and is just significant enough to catch your eye.

Pavé Diamond Slim Signet

I can’t get over how special this Pavé Diamond Slim Signet ring is. It’s not big, but it makes an impact because of the amount of pave diamonds set in the top. However, it doesn’t feel too fussy or dressy to wear every day. The carat weight is about 0.158 and the rest of the ring is 14K gold. For under $400, that is a steal.

Heirloom Ring with Topaz

The Heirloom Ring is different from what I typically go for, in terms of jewelry. I like very simple gold rings and rarely go for something with a big punch like this London Blue Topaz. But I loved this because of the vintage design. It’s not too much of a statement cocktail ring that annoys me when I wear it. I wanted to be able to wear it most days, and I’ll be able to style this ring in my everyday life easily. This is 14K gold and on the pricier end – around $650 – so be sure to use my link to save $65.

Mejuri Solo Diamond Ring

This thin gold band has a very small 0.05-carat round diamond set on the top. It’s dainty and feminine but easy to wear daily (which I do). It’s also small enough to work well as a stacking ring.

Mejuri Diamonds Line Ring

This gold band with pave diamonds lining the top is the other ring I wear almost daily. The diamonds on the top weigh about 0.0048 carats in total.

Mejuri Duo Ring

The fun thing about this Duo ring is that it’s actually two rings! They are interconnected and have such a fun criss-cross look. I love that one has ribbed detail and is smooth. Both rings are 14K solid gold.

Bold Diamond Half Eternity Ring

Tippy top of my Mejuri wishlist is this Bold Diamond Half Eternity Ring. I’d wear it with my engagement ring and wedding band, stacked alongside both. It’s made with 14K yellow gold and seven 2.5mm natural diamonds. It’s GORGEOUS.

Earrings

Mejuri Gold Huggies

These small gold huggie earrings are a little trendy, but they are also tasteful and classic. They’re small enough to wear daily (and I do wear them to Pilates some days), and they aren’t heavy, although they have a nice, high-quality feel and weight.

Mejuri Large Charlotte Hoops

When I want something with a little bit more impact, I wear these Large Charlotte Hoops. They’re bigger than the gold huggies above and have cute ridges that are inspired by french croissants. These are $128, making them a great gift option for birthdays or holidays. They are made in gold vermeil which is a thick 18k gold layer on sterling silver. Watch this video to see the size of the Charlotte Hoops.

Mejuri Large Croissant Dôme Hoops

While the Charlotte hoops above have a slight croissant look, nothing beats the Large Croissant Dôme Hoops. These are also made of gold vermeil. I love both pairs, but I don’t think you necessarily need both, since they’re so similar.

Wide Charlotte Hoops

These Wide Charlotte Hoops are from the same line as the Large Charlotte Hoops above. They both have the fun ribbed detail, but these are much chunkier and have a more “vintage feel”. They’re also made with gold vermeil. They look like they’d be heavy but they’re not, thankfully.

Bold Pearl Huggies

I recently received these Bold Pearl Huggies as a gift and I think they’re such a fun way to dress up an otherwise plain earring. The pearl detail is just the right size and can be styled with anything in my closet. I love that they’re $88 because they feel like something I can wear more casually. These are made with gold vermeil.

Mejuri Diamond Mini Studs

I LOVE this pair of super tiny diamond studs from Mejuri. They’re tiny, about 0.06 carats each, so they aren’t flashy. They’re a great size to wear every day. If you have a second hole, these would be PERFECT.

Pavé Diamond Pear Studs

These earrings are also dainty but a little shinier (and a little more fun) than the mini studs. These Pave Pear Earrings have a bunch of tiny diamonds, a total of about 0.063ct. And they’re made with 14k solid gold.

Mejuri Pavé Diamond Round Studs

For something with a bit more impact, opt for the Pavé Diamond Round Studs. I love that they’re still small and dainty but have more surface area than the pear style above. These are made in a 14k solid gold set with 40 high-quality single-cut diamonds in a pavé setting weighing 0.11 carats total.

Bracelets

Mejuri Solo Diamond Bracelet

I love a dainty bracelet, and this Solo Diamond Bracelet is the best addition ever. First, who doesn’t want to add a diamond to their arm candy? Second, the price is SO good for a diamond. The carat weight is 0.065, and it’s under $250.

Mejuri Diamond Letter Bracelet

I also got this Diamond Letter Bracelet with a T on it for TeriLyn or Tommy or Thomas (sorry Charles, this was before you were born!), and it’s so fun. It’s a little larger than the Solo Diamond Bracelet, and the carat weight depends on the letter.

I wear both the letter bracelet and solo diamond bracelet as permanent bracelets and literally never take them off. So, if you want permanent bracelets but not the commitment, I can confirm they’re just as comfortable and durable as my permanent bracelets. (I have three permanent bracelets on my other wrist.)

Necklaces

If you want to see how the necklaces move and catch light, be sure to watch my YouTube video showing all of these Mejuri necklaces! The one con I’ve found in Mejuri’s necklaces is that their clasps are tiny and can be hard to use, especially if you have longer nails like me. But, given the dainty nature of most of their necklaces, it simply wouldn’t work aesthetically to have something bigger.

Another question I get when I share my Mejuri necklaces is, “Can I wear my Mejuri necklace in the shower?” and the answer is yes. I often leave my Mejuri necklaces on for days (especially since I struggle with the clasps!) and have two Mejuri bracelets that I haven’t taken off for months.

Pearl Letter Charm Necklace

The Pearl Letter Charm is gorgeous on its own, but I love it because it stacks really well. The initial pendant is small, and I love that it’s subtle while adding a fun pop. It’s been a while since I’ve worn pearls, so I’ve really enjoyed styling this! This also makes a great gift for a grandmother or a friend.

The initial pendant is sold just as a charm, so you can add it to an existing necklace or pick a chain from Mejuri. I have the Spheres Chain, which is 14k solid gold and comes in three lengths. I have a 16-18 inch length that lays right in the center of my chest at its most extended length. I typically layer it with a shorter necklace (shown with the Topaz necklace), but if I’m layering it with a longer necklace, I’ll wear the pearl letter + spheres chain at the shortest length.

Diamond Letter Charm

The Diamond Letter charm is similar to the pearl charm but a little smaller. It is 8mm, so it’s also a dainty size. It’s subtle but has a huge sparkle. I also love that the charm attaches to the chain asymmetrically. This makes an otherwise formal piece of jewelry feel like something you can wear every day. If you prefer bracelets to necklaces but love this charm, then you will love the Diamond Letter Bracelet.

I also wear this charm on the Spheres Chain.

Bold Letter Pendant Necklace

The next personalized option that I’ve been wearing nonstop is their Bold Letter Pendant Necklace. This pendant comes on a chain, so you do not need to buy the chain separately. The letter pendant itself is more substantial and bigger than the pearl and diamond letters. This is a really fun statement to wear with a V-neck top. The chain is a 20—to 22-inch cable chain, so it sits much lower than the chain above.

This necklace is made of Gold Vermeil which is a thick layer of 18k solid gold on sterling silver which means it lasts longer than just gold-plating. It also means the price tag is a little more affordable.

Pavé Diamond Linked Necklace

My jaw dropped when I saw the Pavé Diamond Linked Necklace in real life. It’s absolutely stunning. It features two interlinked rings to symbolize the strength of a personal bond. (I love that particular meaning if you’re gifting this to your mom, sister or best friend.) This necklace has pave diamonds lining one of the rings, weighing about 0.046 ct in total. The two rings are small, which makes this a beautiful and dainty everyday necklace.

This is the most expensive Mejuri necklace I own because it’s made with real diamonds and 14K gold. The chain is 16-18″ long.

This style also comes in a gold vermeil version without the pave diamonds for a more affordable option. It’s still the same classic style, but the gold vermeil option is a little larger and more prominent. I love both options!

Round Topaz Necklace

I’ve had this Round Topaz necklace for about a year, and I wear it ALL the time. It’s tiny and super shiny, making it a great layering necklace or a simple piece to finish off your outfit. Topaz looks similar to a diamond but it’s more affordable, making it a great gift option.

Small Diamond Necklace

This small diamond necklace is one of my very favorite everyday pieces. The diamond is small but still noticeable (0.05 ct) and it sits in a gold bezel setting. The bezel setting makes it feel more casual.

Mejuri Heart Pendant Necklace

I LOVE the heart charm necklace trend right now, and this Heart-Pendant Necklace is the perfect look that’s just a little more subtle. It’s made with gold vermeil, a thick layer of 18k solid gold on sterling silver. The price is also great for gifting (under $150). I own this and it’s even prettier in person.

Mejuri Boyfriend Bold Chain Necklace

As someone who loves to layer dainty jewelry, this Boyfriend Bold Chain Necklace is the perfect addition to my stack. It’s made of 14K gold, and the link thickness is only 0.4 mm (SO dainty)! You can wear this chain on its own or slide charms on and off it.

Is Mejuri worth it?

100% yes. This is one of those brands that I can’t stop talking about on social media or in real life. I genuinely am so happy with every purchase I’ve made, and I wear multiple pieces of Mejuri daily. I used to think spending $300 for an everyday ring was silly, but now I understand the value of investing in higher-quality jewelry that lasts. I’m sure I spent over $300 when buying $20-$40 rings over and over, only to have to replace them repeatedly. I also know I’m building a collection I’ll love for years.
