BaubleBar, known for selling trendy costume jewelry online, is entering the world of gold and diamonds.

Its collection, launching Aug. 14, consists of rings and earrings, WWD reports. The jewelry will be sold online and will include “streamlined hoop and stud shapes for earrings and simple, embellished bands for rings.”

The news site added: “Some more directional earrings take the shape of letters or safety pins.”

Prices range from $55 to nearly $1,000.

Daniella Yacobovsky-Fiala, co-founder of BaubleBar, said the company is responding to demand.

“Since the beginning, the voice of our customer has led our product evolution,” she said.

BaubleBar began dabbling in fine jewelry in October 2017, when it rolled out its Everyday Fine collection. The line consisted of 18K gold-plated sterling silver pieces selling for under $100.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
