Rings Under $50

Same silver, same stones, smaller scale. What you'll find here is usually a more modest stone or a simpler setting than the pieces further up — not a lesser kind of ring.

Amethyst, citrine, labradorite, moonstone, turquoise, rose quartz, peridot, herkimer diamond, onyx — nearly all of it sterling silver, and most of it between $33 and $46. Below $30 there's a small group that isn't silver at all, like mood rings and magnetic hematite. They're here because they're inexpensive and people enjoy them, and we've never seen a reason to hide them.

Filter by your size before you browse. Sixes through nines run deepest; fours, and anything above a ten, come and go.

A good place to start if this is your first crystal ring, or if you want to live with a stone for a while before committing to a larger piece of it. Natural stones vary, so what arrives will be close to the photograph rather than identical to it. Sterling tarnishes in time; a soft cloth brings it back.
