Before we start, just be aware that you may be reading this a little while after publication; while everything pictured is currently under AU$100, some things may be a touch more by the time you find these gems of wisdom However, there should be no worries about that with the Pandora INfinity Purple Cubic Zirconia drop earrings pictured at the beginning of the article. Cubic zirconias are a great way to add sparkle and color to a piece, without adding zeroes to the price tag. Pandora is certainly not a ‘cheap’ range, but this great value product shouldn’t move over that $100 mark anytime soon! The stones are set on the signature Pandora metal, oxidized sterling silver, and the hook fittings are designed for pierced ears. It is actually part of a set, with both the Pandora charm and the matching infinity ring shown at right also being well below that century-mark.

If the Pandora jewelry is a favorite for your lady as it is for so many others, she’ll be thrilled to open this rock crystal flower necklace, just as you’ll be thrilled that such a beautiful jewelry gift was so inexpensive! Oxidized sterling silver is the base again, and the rock crystal feature sits alongside a flower design which is popular in many Pandora pieces – as well as the five or so matching charms, earrings and rings that are available for this one too. Click the image to find the product in our Christmas Gifts for Her section, and scroll down to see all the matching jewelry in the ‘We Also Recommend’ section.

However, cubic zirconias and sterling silver are by no means the only things you’ll find for under AU$100. The heart cut topaz earrings shown actually include massive 6mm wide gemstones, and they are set on a white gold base, rather than any cheaper metals. The stones are prong set, with post and butterfly fitttings, and especially good for ladies born in November or December, as the blue topaz can be the birthstone for either month. They also come in well under that $99.99 mark!

Or how would you like to be able to give two gifts for under $100? The pairs of garnet/white gold earrings and peridot/yellow gold earrings pictured together both come in under that magical figure. Or you could give just one, and make an occasion to wear them out to the other half of her present! In both of these sets of earrings, the stones are around 2.5mm across, dainty enough for everyday wear, and if she has more than one piercing in her ears, they are the perfect backdrop to larger pieces. Each is set on 9ct gold, suitable for all skin types, and all budgets!

And for something sweet, dainty and charming that doesn’t go in her ears (!), try this heart amethyst yellow gold pendant. The amethyst is quite large, at 5mm across, and the 9ct yellow gold makes this very affordable. Great for February-born girls, as the amethyst is their birthstone. This is a stand-alone item, so you can choose whichever chain you think will suit her, and the pendant, best!

Men’s jewelry certainly doesn’t miss out on its share of inexpensive gift items though! In fact, due to its relative simplicity and the fact that it rarely includes gemstones, men’s jewelry is actually much more budget friendly than women’s in general. Presently there are over 100 items ONLY in the Christmas Gift Ideas for Men section that are under AU$100 – including this stainless steel ID bracelet. Great for telling him how you feel about him in words, as well as with the gesture of a gorgeous gift, there is a space especially to have either his name or a message engraved on both the front and back.

And for those that love the durability of stainless steel, there is a more individual product shown below the ID bracelet. The stainless steel and black rubber bracelet has a length of 22cm, and you may notice that there is a magnetic clasp, for easy wearing! This bargain product will see you come in at well under budget, and you might have to treat some drinks out on the town to make up the rest – a gift for you as well as him!

Many active, hardworking men do prefer to have their hands uncluttered, and if this is the case, a chain or pendant will make the perfect inexpensive Christmas gift. The Inori Men’s chain pictured is an extra-heavy style, for a strong masculine feel. The stainless steel base is very hard to scratch, and a nice cool feel, suitable for all skin types. You could buy up to three of these and still remain within budget…

While most pendant aren’t suitable for this chain, due to its size, you could actually quite easily get both a chain and pendant for under AU$100. The Inori ball chain and signature pendant shown would both squeeze into your budget, and are made of hard-wearing stainless steel, with a timeless design. There are quite a few other men’s pendants that would go with this ball chain for under AU$100 also.

Hopefully we have convinced you that jewelry isn;t only a rich man’s gift – or rich woman’s gift, for that matter! Most pages on the site have a product finder box that allows you to set a specific budget, so if you want to search for pendants, earrings, bracelets, a particular brand name or anything else, you can instantly find everything under $100 – or whatever you set!
