Shopping often feels like a choice between quality and price. But Canadian brand Mia is changing that proposition up, thanks to its Plating Vapor Deposit technology, an advanced gold-plating technique that eliminates the pollution and toxic chemicals used in traditional plating while still providing you with hypoallergenic jewelry that won’t tarnish or leave your skin green. Best of all, the brand offers hundreds of thoughtfully designed, versatile pieces for less than $35.
Every piece in the brand’s collection is made using a base of stainless steel, which is hypoallergenic and free of lead, cadmium, and nickel. Their jewelry is available in waterproof stainless steel and most pieces are also available in yellow gold- and rose gold-plated options. The sparkling stones in their collection include cubic zirconia and they also carry shockingly affordable lab-grown diamond pieces starting at $86 — both conflict-free options you can rock with a clear conscience.
