($50-200)
When you’re shopping on a budget, you may notice that many of the bracelets in your price range use Freshwater pearls.
That’s because Freshwater pearls are relatively easy to produce, so they’re often much more affordable than other types. These stunning pearls come in a beautiful variety of natural colors and are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for quality at a good price.
Made from dazzling white freshwater pearls, our classic, yet elegant bracelet is one of our best-sellers. We use 7-7.5mm, AAA pearls for this piece, which are known for their beautiful luster and shine.
Just select the size and clasp you want (stunning gold or silver), and our team will hand-assemble your bracelet on twinned silk. For timeless style and an elegant aesthetic, this is a fantastic option.
If you’re looking for luxury-grade pearls that exude elegance and class, and look better than pearls five times the price, this piece should be at the top of your list.
If you want to add a splash of color, while maintaining the traditional wedding look, our Multicolor Freshwater bracelet is a perfect choice.
Our classic white pearls are paired with pink and lavender Freshwater pearls, creating a stunning piece that glows with character and subtle, delicate color. Each pearl is hand-selected, and the soft color palette pairs adds a bit of personality to your wedding style.
If you’re looking for something that stands out, this gorgeous pink bracelet is the perfect wedding accessory, and will stand out nicely against an all-white dress. At only $119, it won’t break the bank, and would make a perfect accessory for your big day.
This bracelet features all-natural, delicate pinks–no artificial dyes or chemicals. The pearls are 7-7.5mm in size, and this bracelet can be customized to fit any wrist.
Next, we have this pearl and white sapphire bracelet from Zales. Featuring cultured Freshwater pearls accented by lab-created white sapphire, this bracelet gives you a flashy look at a budget price.
The pearls range from 3.5-8mm in size, although Zales doesn’t disclose their grading standards. This is only $99, so the pearls are almost certainly mid-low quality, but if you’re working with a limited budget, this is certainly a unique option that may suit your needs.
For a splash of color, this Rose Freshwater Pearl Bracelet from Brilliant Earth provides a simple yet elegant look. A single 7mm lavender pearl rests in a silver chain made from recycled metals.
The pearl grading system from Brilliant Earth isn’t publicly available, so the quality of pearls on this bracelet may vary. But at a $125 price point, this is a relatively affordable option and comes with an appealing eco-friendly vibe.
The bangle bracelet is a classic, which makes this textured bead bangle bracelet from Kay a good option for many traditional weddings.
Two 9mm cultured Freshwater pearls sit at the end of a sterling silver beaded band, for a unique and simple accessory. We aren’t sure of the quality or grade of the pearls, but Kay is well-known for solid jewelry craftsmanship overall. This is a good choice if you want pearls to take a back seat in your bracelet design.
$200-600
When you want to step up your budget, you’ll find Akoya pearls waiting. Akoyas are classic, brilliant-white, perfectly round pearls that instantly catch the eye.
These are THE classic pearl most people think of when they think “pearl jewelry” and can stand out or perfectly complement almost any wedding style.

You can’t go wrong with this bracelet — it’s classic and subtle enough to fit any style, but features extremely high end pearls that will stand out and cause many second looks. Each pearl is hand-selected by our pearl experts, so you can rest assured knowing that every single pearl is of the highest quality.

If you prefer a simple, minimalist look, our Japanese White Pearl Tincup bracelet is a perfect choice. If you want pearls to be a prominent part of your outfit, but prefer something a bit less bold than a standard string of pearls, this style is worth a look.

8mm Freshwater pearls are set on a thin sterling silver chain, though the pearl quality isn’t disclosed. We can’t speak for the quality of the pearls, but if you want to go with a cheaper option from a household name, this may be the perfect fit.
This woven bracelet from Blue Nile foregoes “classic,” and “simple,” and instead uses clusters of small white pearls connected by a 14K white gold clasp.
According to Blue Nile, these Freshwater pearls have a medium luster, off-round shape, and lightly spotted surface markings. They may not be the highest quality pearl, but it’s certainly a unique style, perfect for any bride who wants to stand out from the crowd.

If you like gold jewelry, you’ll love this unique, double-strand bracelet from Poppy Finch.
Two strands of 3.5-4mm cultured pearls are connected to a 14K gold chain, creating a delicate, yet elegant bracelet. There’s no information about pearl grading, so we can’t say if this is a fair price. But for $350, it’s a stylish look that won’t break the bank.
If you want the Tiffany name with a fresh design, check out this Pearls by the Yard bracelet from design pioneer Elsa Peretti.
Featuring five cultured Freshwater pearls set in a delicate sterling silver chain, this bracelet offers a subtle touch of style, without drawing too much attention. However, at $545, it’s pricier than other options like our similar Tincup bracelet. The oblong shape of the pearls also indicates a lower quality.
If you’re looking for a double-strand bracelet on a budget, this Freshwater pearl option from James Allen is worth a look. It features 6-7mm Freshwater cultured pearls connected by 14k yellow gold.
James Allen doesn’t share specific pearl grade quality, but they do say this clarity includes “light blemishes,” so keep that in mind as you shop.

Hanadama pearls are perfectly round and practically flawless, with each one being carefully certified by the Pearl Science Laboratory in Tokyo, Japan.

If you love Elsa Peretti’s style and iconic heart design, this Open Heart Pearl Bracelet is another collaboration between Elsa Peretti and Tiffany. Tiffany typically has high-end pearl quality, though these are Freshwater, which is a bit of a lower-end gem for the price.

2.00cttw of blue sapphire rondelles are set in 18K white gold, resulting in a beautiful, but expensive piece of jewelry. At $5,700, this bracelet is nearly 10x the cost of similar options, and without knowing the quality, it’s hard to say if that’s a fair price.
