Statement Jewelry for Less

The F21 Family&Friends No-Minumum Free Shipping code (F21FRIENDS) expires tomorrow. I had a bracelet sitting in my cart since Gigi blogged about it in a post back in the summer (sorry I can't find the post any longer) and I perused the website for more jewelry. I have never bought on their website before because they have a 21 days store-credit-only return policy and a $75 minimum for free shipping (which is hard to reach!), but I thought that this time I would give it a try.

I ended up buying a few "statement pieces", all for less than $10 each:

1) Chunky Faux Perl Necklace, $7.80

2) Edgy Rhinestone Earrings, $9.80



3) Lace-Covered Rhinestone Bracelet, $5.80


And this is the bracelet that Gigi reviewed, the Cut-Out Rhinestone Bracelet, $10.80

I know that this one looks a little bit cheap in the pic but it looked stunning on Gigi and hey, it's $10.

There were many other interesting ones that I left behind (including the Chain Perl Necklace, lookalike of Jcrew "pastiche" necklace), If you have a little bit of time (browsing the website can be a little bit time-consuming), I really recommend to have a look and take advantage of this free shipping offer.

What do you think of these? Have you ordered anything from F21?

  1. I have the Cut-Out Rhinestone Bracelet, $10.80 from Forever 21 and it is so cute. I wear it all the time, even though I am not fond of big blingy bracelets. It doesn't look cheap at all - my coworkers usually think I got it at J Crew! You'll love it, I promise.

  2. I like buying jewelry at F21! The Mall of America has a F21 store that is strictly jewelry, handbags, and other accessories like belts and I go nuts in there! :-P I try to stay away from it!! Their $s are just too good!

    I hope you enjoy your picks!? :) I can't wait to *see* them on you! (hint, hint) ;)

  3. I am a newbie at F21 and the only reason I even consideredd shopping there was seeing what Gigi found! I haven't been impressed with the jewelry so far but love the few clothes I've bought.
    BTW I found out that you can return clothes from an online order through the mail only for a refund. They will take returns at the store but only for store credit.

  5. Great picks!

    I bought the Chained Pearl Necklace (pretend pastiche) and I love it - sometimes F21 jewelry is way bigger or cheaper-looking than it looks online, but this one is dynamite. I also splurged for the Jeweled Elastic Bracelet, Beaded Cluster Necklace, Mirrored Disc Hook earrings, and Crystal Strands necklace (I know I'm crazy - but it's all priced so nicely!)

    The only disappointment was the Kim Faceted Bead Earrings - they're fun, but way larger than I expected, and will have to be saved for an "occasion".

    Let us know how your jewelry turns out!

  6. Dominique, I can't wait to see the bracelet now, so happy that I got it!

    MMM, I totally understand traying to stay away from that store. I would be there every other day if I had one here in the neighborhood.

    mommydearest, thank you for the tip on the return by mail policy. That changes everything! I used to work very close to a F21 store and for years I didn't dare going there because hey! I'm forty. But once that I went in, it was addictive, the prices can't be beat. It made look the H&M, that was on the other side of the street, like an expensive store!

    DaniBP, thank you! Will see when I receive them.

    Millie, I totally understand. I had my cart full of jewelry but I tried to buy only what I really liked because they were Final Sale.
    Now I regret not buying the "pastiche" one!
