Real vs. Steal – Tiffany & Co. Love Knot Bangle

After a quick summer hiatus, we are reporting back with another Real vs. Steal post! And this one’s featuring the very famous Love Knot Bangle by Tiffany & Co.. Personally, I absolutely adore the minimalistic design of this bangle and its symbolic meaning. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this piece of jewelry is a particularly popular wedding gift. And while I couldn’t find an exact price for this online sold-out item, I would bet, even though this is “only” sterling silver, it still is everything but a cheap buy.

Real vs. Steal – Tiffany & Co. Twist Knot Earrings

I’m really feeling fine jewelry lately and where could you possibly look for finer jewelry than at Tiffany & Co.? Tiffany & Co. is probably the most iconic jewelry brand in the world – and they are for a reason! So many of the Tiffany designs seem so simple yet so elegant but also still subtle and understated. I love that about their jewelry! Case in point: these twist knot stud earrings made of .925 sterling silver; an absolute classic and timeless design, don’t you agree? However, I’m not too fond of their $250 price though. Seems a bit steep for a pair of silver stud earrings.

Sterling Forever Textured Knot Mesh Earrings

And Sterling Forever strikes once again! Their textured knot mesh earrings look just like the designer original, are also made of sterling silver, but they cost only $36.40 instead of $250! What a great and budget-friendly designer dupe find, isn’t it? Very much in love with these elegant studs.

Classy sterling silver earrings for under $15? Add to cart, please!

Real vs. Steal – Tiffany & Co. Return To Tiffany Heart Tag Charm Bracelet

Even though I generally tend to dislike anything heart-shaped because I instantly associate it with a certain degree of cheesiness, this Sterling silver heart tag charm bracelet by Tiffany & Co. is such a classic piece of jewelry and has become absolutely iconic for the brand that I am still kind of smitten with it. The first design has been introduced in the late 1960’s and was originally inspired by a key ring, but has since evolved into an entire collection of various jewelry items named “Return To Tiffany“. Compared with the rest of the Tiffany & Co. collections this item may actually be one of the brand’s most affordable pieces at $310, but even still I do realize it’s a rather costly piece of jewelry for a lot of us out there. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I figured many of you might be looking for a gift such as this lovely bracelet, so I made it my mission to come up with affordable yet still fabulous alternatives.

Eve’s Addiction Custom Engravable Heart Tag Bracelet

Luckily, I happened to discover a bunch of similar customizable chain link bracelet dupes at Eve’s Addiction that serve as great look for less alternatives to the Tiffany & Co. original if you’re looking for more budget-friendly options. The customizations that can be made on these type of bracelets include engraving (coordinates, names, monograms, photos), birthstones, colors (silver-, gold-, rosegold-tone) and materials (e.g. stainless steel or 925 Sterling silver, etc.) which allows for a very individual and personal gift. And did I mention that they’re having a 30% sitewide sale going on right now? Use promo code AFF30 at checkout (limited time offer). Steal deal alert!

Amazon Collection Sterling Silver Heart Tag Bracelet

These heart charm bracelets from the Amazon Collection might not be quite as dupe-worthy, but the overall design is still very reminiscent of the Tiffany original, don’t you agree? What I like about these is that for $55 they’re made of .925 Sterling silver with the gold version being yellow gold-plated silver. Also comes with a silver chain/gold heart tag and silver/rosegold heart tag which I think look adorably cute!

And lastly, I stumbled upon this stylish .925 Sterling silver heart charm chain link bracelet at Bling Jewelry which looks very similar to the Return To Tiffany bracelet original but costs only $89.99 (sale price!). Like the Eve’s Addiction options, this one, too, can be customized with an engraved message or monogram and it also comes in two chain lengths (7,5″ and 8″).

Real vs. Steal – Céline Knot Open Bracelet

It’s been a while since we last featured a jewelry piece by Céline on this blog, so here you go: Céline’s knot bracelet which is available in various colors and sizes has made quite the round in the fashion blogosphere lately. The design strongly reminds me of Tiffany’s Love Knot Bangle with the biggest difference being that Céline’s version is left open in the back. I’m not sure what the retail price is for this bracelet, but pre-owned pieces start at approximately $400 which I think is quite the hefty price for a gold-plated brass bangle.

Copycat Math – Christian Louboutin + Christian Louboutin = Dune London

While doing my usual designer dupes search round, I discovered a pair of fabulous stiletto pumps with a gold reptile textured finish at Dune London and was immediately reminded of Christian Louboutin’s famous So Kate stiletto heels. I was almost certain I would find the original real deal for this particular dupe, a So Kate version with a gold reptile finish, but apparently there is none…yet. Upon closer inspection though I noticed that Dune London’s Banksy heels look a lot like they’re a love child between Louboutin’s $995 So Kate Laminato Dino in gold and his $745 So Kate Specchio Martele in silver. The designer versions would set you back $1.740 in total whereas you can have both looks in one with Dune London for a much lower $125 instead! Score!
