If you’re building a jewelry collection for yourself, your partner, and even the kids, you probably want three things: style that actually works with real life, quality that can handle daily wear, and prices that don’t make you wince. Bonus points if it’s all made with the planet in mind.
That’s exactly the sweet spot Rochas Jewelry hits. This Oakland-based brand blends classic pieces with trend-forward finds for men, women, boys, and girls—plus smartwatches and even handmade and home decor extras. They keep costs friendly with savvy pricing and regular promos, and they keep values front and center by using recycled metals and recyclable packaging. It’s no wonder they’ve racked up 50,000+ five-star reviews.
If you’re new to the brand or just want a smarter way to shop, this guide breaks down how to build a versatile jewelry wardrobe on a budget, what to know about materials (hello, 18K gold plating), how to style anklets, and how to maximize current offers. We’ve also included a couple of standout price points—like the $55 Marbella Two-Tone Disc Drop Earrings and the $13.99 14K Gold Plated Classic Tennis Bracelet—to show how far your dollars can go.
Build a family jewelry capsule without blowing the budget
The best collections mix timeless staples with a few fun, trend-forward pieces—so you can rotate looks without constantly buying new. Try this 3-2-1 formula for each person in the family:
- 3 timeless pieces you’ll wear everywhere
- 2 trend-forward pieces that keep outfits current
- 1 personalized/sentimental piece that feels uniquely “you”
Here’s what that looks like for everyone.
Women
- Timeless
- Delicate chain necklace (or two) in gold tone for everyday layering

- A tennis bracelet that plays well with watches and bangles—Rochas’ 14K Gold Plated Classic Tennis Bracelet is an easy win at just $13.99

- Personalized
- An initial pendant, birthstone charm, or a charm bracelet that grows with milestones
Men
- Timeless
- Minimal chain in stainless steel or gold tone (18–22 inches is a versatile zone)
- Understated bracelet (box chain or leather accent) that sits comfortably with a watch
- Classic stud or huggie if pierced—clean lines look sharp
- Trend-forward
- Signet ring or linked bracelet in a bolder gauge
- Mixed-metal piece (silver + gold tone) that nods to current style without going overboard
- Personalized
- A pendant with meaning (coordinates, symbols) or a custom-engraved tag
Kids

- Lightweight charm bracelet that’s easy to maintain
- Trend-forward
- Colorful enamel charms or a simple chain with a playful pendant
- Personalized
- Initials, birthstones, or a tiny locket—something special, but sturdy
Smart layering tips
- Mix metals with intention: Pair two-tone pieces (like the Marbella earrings) with both silver and gold to tie everything together.
- Vary your textures: Smooth chains + rope + pavé = dimension without fuss.
- Keep proportions balanced: If earrings are bold, go simpler on the necklace, and vice versa.
- Stack by size: Thinner bracelets and rings stack best; anchor the stack with one slightly heavier piece (the $13.99 tennis bracelet is perfect for that).
Materials and durability, decoded: 18K gold plating 101
You’ll see “18K gold plated” on lots of Rochas pieces, and here’s what that means for everyday wear.
- Karat refers to gold purity. 24K is pure gold; 18K is 75% gold mixed with alloys for strength. 18K plating gives that rich, warm gold tone people love.
- Plating is a layer of gold bonded to a base metal like brass or stainless steel. Durability depends on the thickness of the plating and how you wear and care for it.
- 18K vs 14K plating: 18K has a more saturated color; 14K can be slightly more scratch-resistant due to its alloy makeup. Both can be long-lasting with good care.
- Why it’s budget-friendly: You get the look and feel of gold at a fraction of the cost of solid gold, making it ideal for building a larger, more versatile collection.
Care tips to make plated jewelry last
- Avoid chemicals: Take pieces off before swimming, cleaning, or applying lotions/perfume.
- Rotate your favorites: Give heavily worn pieces a rest day to reduce friction wear.
- Clean gently: Use a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes.
- Store smart: Keep items separate in pouches or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches.
- Fit matters: Proper sizing prevents snagging and premature wear—especially for bracelets and anklets.
Sustainability notes you can feel good about
- Recycled metals reduce the demand for newly mined materials.
- Recyclable packaging cuts down on waste—save those pouches and boxes for storage or gifting.
- Choosing quality plated pieces that you’ll wear repeatedly is itself a more sustainable habit than fast-fashion turnover.
Anklets, stacking, and everyday styling (plus how to get 20% off)
Anklets are the unsung heroes of warm weather—and they’re not just for beach days.
How to size your anklet
- Measure above the ankle bone with a tape measure; add 0.5–1 inch for comfort.
- Typical lengths range from about 8 to 11 inches. Adjustable chains are your friend.
Styling ideas for everyone
- Women: Try a slim gold-tone chain anklet with white sneakers and cropped denim; stack with a tiny charm anklet for a subtle flex. Pair with the $13.99 tennis bracelet and a clean watch to echo the sparkle up top.
- Men: A minimal chain anklet in stainless or gold tone feels modern with loafers or slip-ons—keep it low-key and streamlined.
- Kids: Go for lightweight, snag-resistant styles with smooth finishes; consider adjustable closures so it grows with them.
Stacking and mixing
- Keep stacks delicate: Two slim anklets read intentional, not fussy.
- Echo metals: If you’re wearing two-tone earrings (like the Marbella), let your anklet bridge the gap with a warm gold tone.
- Match moods: Sporty smartwatch? Balance with a sleek, minimal anklet rather than something overly ornate.
Don’t forget the deal: Use code BEST20OFF for 20% off anklets. Easy win.

Deals to know
- First-time shopper? Use code FIRST for 15% off your first order.
- Anklet haul? Use code BEST20OFF for 20% off anklets.
- Tip: Codes may have terms and may not stack—check at checkout to see what saves you the most. Keep an eye out for seasonal sales to layer even more value.
Cart-building strategies
- Anchor with a staple under $20 (hello, 14K Gold Plated Classic Tennis Bracelet at $13.99), then add a statement piece like the $55 Marbella Two-Tone Disc Drop Earrings for a high-low balance.
- Fill styling gaps first (daily studs, simple chain, go-with-everything bracelet), then add one trend-forward piece.
- Create a family bundle: one piece for you, one for your partner, one for the kids—shared shipping, shared smiles.
Smartwatches that actually look stylish
- Match your metals: Choose bands that complement your jewelry—gold tone with gold stacks, or two-tone bands to bridge mixed metals.
- Keep it cohesive: If your smartwatch face is bold, dial back bracelets to slimmer silhouettes; if your stack is minimal, you can go bigger with the watch face.
- Swap bands seasonally: A leather band for office days, silicone for workouts, a metal link for evenings—one watch, multiple vibes.
Handmade and home decor picks that earn their keep
- Jewelry trays and ring dishes: Recycled or handmade ceramics keep your daily pieces scratch-free and right where you need them.
- Travel pouches: Recyclable or fabric pouches help plated jewelry last longer by preventing friction in your bag.
- Catch-all bowls and small decor: Choose pieces that double as storage—looks great on your dresser and keeps chains untangled.
- Candle or diffuser accents: Simple, handmade scents can elevate your vanity setup and make getting ready feel like a ritual.
Why shop with confidence
- Quality-to-price sweet spot: From $13.99 staples to mid-range statements, you can build a full rotation without overspending.
- Real-world durability: Thoughtful materials—like 18K gold plating on recycled metals—plus care tips make your pieces last.
- Community-approved: 50,000+ five-star reviews speak volumes about consistency and customer experience.
- Values-forward: Recycled metals and recyclable packaging mean your jewelry drawer can reflect your ethics as well as your style.
Final fit check before you buy
- Confirm lengths and sizes: Necklaces (16–20 inches for most everyday looks), bracelets (measure wrist + 0.5 inch), anklets (add 0.5–1 inch for movement).
- Scan product details: Look for metal type, plating, closures, and adjustability—especially for kids’ pieces.
- Plan your stack: Picture how a new piece plays with what you already own. If you can wear it three different ways, it’s a keeper.
- Apply your best code: FIRST for your first order savings, or BEST20OFF if anklets are in the mix.

With Rochas Jewelry, you can build a family-friendly collection that’s timeless where it counts, trend-forward where it’s fun, and thoughtful from materials to packaging. Start with a couple of smart staples—like that under-$15 tennis bracelet—add a statement or two—hello, Marbella discs—and finish with an anklet you’ll actually wear (and save 20% while you’re at it). Your everyday looks, and the planet, will thank you.
