Best Affordable Jewelry Brands for Your Trip to Paris

Want to commemorate your trip to Paris with a souvenir that’s more beautiful (and, dare I say, wearable) than a beret with the Eiffel Tower embroidered on it? 

After all, a trip to Paris calls for a souvenir with a little more “je ne sais quoi” — like jewelry!   

Paris is a wonderful city to indulge your jewelry desires because of its dedication to luxury, which you can see in everything from its art galleries to its elegant boulevards like Place Vendôme or Boulevard Haussmann. Stroll through Le Marais or the fancy streets near Opéra Garnier, and you’ll discover jewelry shops galore. 

As one of the world’s biggest fashion hubs, Paris has a great selection of jewelry for every budget. Here are five trendy and trés chic jewelry brands that won’t break the bank. 

1. Les Georgettes by Altesse

Where to find it: 11 Rue de Sévigné, 75004 Paris, France

Les Georgettes by Altesse is a colorful shop that happens to be my favorite jewelry boutique in the Marais neighborhood, right in the heart of Paris. You can choose rings and bracelets with various intricate designs that provide the perfect skeletal structure for further decoration. 

What I love about this brand is that the jewelry is customizable, and you can even design your own. Not only is the jewelry cleverly designed, but the kicker are the reversible leather inserts that make it easy to change the style as much as you see fit. You have your pick of solid colors, and even animal and floral prints. So one day your ring could be turquoise, and the next day it could have a tortoise pattern, all by turning over your leather insert. 

These pieces are traditionally French-made from the Altesse family and have so many colorful options that are fun to wear. 

2. Lou Yetu

Where to find it: 62 Rue Charlot, 75003 Paris, France

Fun fact about the brand Lou Yetu: It took its name from a French children’s song — “Loup y es-tu?” — which translates to, “Are you there, wolf?” in English.

Lou Yetu’s delicate gold stacking pieces — detailed rings, statement necklaces, dangling earrings, and sleek bracelets — are designed for creating that perfect layered look. It’s exciting to visit their store because it feels like an exclusive pop-up shop, where you’re sure to get personalized attention from jewelry specialists. 

3. Pierre Caron Bijoux

Where to find it: 52 Rue des Archives, 75004 Paris, France

This jewelry store is quite mysterious, as it doesn’t have a website, but it has become popular by word of mouth or discovering it while walking around Le Marais (pictured above).

I have friends who make sure to visit the Pierre Caron Bijoux boutique every time they visit Paris, because their jewelry is gorgeous and never oxidizes. And it’s affordable, too, which is another great perk. 

4. Balaboosté

Where to find it: 132 Rue de Rivoli, 75004 Paris, France

Balaboosté is known for its collection of costume jewelry and iconic pieces, which means you can have your pick of the loot — from flashy hoop earrings to chic gold brooches, this boutique has it all. 

I especially love their collections that lean into trends like 90s fashion or feature jewelry pieces that are sure to be a conversation-starter when you go out with friends.

5. LABELLE

Where to find it: 176 Rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris, France

LABELLE has become a Parisian staple since it opened its store and workshop back in 2011. They produce new collections every month, which often include French classics like trendy coin necklaces and dainty stacking rings that are perfect for everyday wear. 

Plus, their brand is known for durable and budget-friendly pieces. 

A fashion-forward city

My final fashion tip — beyond checking out these stores — is this: If you want to buy great jewelry (or anything stylish) while you’re in Paris, observe what the Parisians are wearing. They’ll show you what styles are practical and easy to embrace off the runway.
