When it comes to gifting for a friend, jewelry is a surefire way to celebrate the special bond that you share. If you’re looking for best friend jewelry to be as enduring as your friendship, opt for options made with a durable metal like stainless steel. You can even find gold-plated jewelry that looks much more expensive than it really is. But, if you’re looking for “traditional” friendship bracelets made with string or cord, that’s easy to find, too — just don’t expect them to last forever.
From bracelets to necklaces to rings, there’s no shortage of ways to show your love for your bestie. As you shop, consider what kinds of jewelry you and your friend prefers to wear. Many pieces are also designed with sweet details, such as heart-shaped pendants etched with sentimental messages to show your affection. But if you want to go the extra mile, you can even affordably customize some jewelry for a truly personal touch.
Many options come in pairs so that you and a friend can match, but you can also find sets of three or more matching pieces if you run in a larger crew. And if you aren’t keen about matching jewelry, there are pieces that you can purchase solo, too. In case you’re feeling crafty, I’ve also included a jewelry-making kit to make fun, completely one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Tell your best friend or friends how much they mean to you with one of these pieces of jewelry, which are all available on Amazon.
Keep your BFF’s name close to your heart (and vice versa) with this set of heart-shaped friendship necklaces.

The chain is also made of stainless steel, and comes with an extender to add 2 inches to the necklace. As a bonus, it’s sold in sets ranging from two to six pieces.

One reviewer wrote: “I love this! Me and my best friend are long distance so it was such a nice gift to give to her and I would 100% recommend getting this for you and your friends. This necklace looked amazing and the carving of the names were really well done and really good quality. It was not bulky at all it looked really minimalistic. I overall love it.”
Say “I love you” in a subtle way with this beautiful beaded bracelet. The message is expressed in Morse code with dot- and dashed-shaped beads strategically strung to convey the sentiment.

Alternatively, you can even customize the bracelet with your own message of up to 15 characters. The bracelet is made of stainless steel.

Like the above set, these interlocking friendship necklaces tap into a now-classic shape for BFF jewelry: the heart. Engraved on the front of the charms is a sweet message you can only read in full when the two pendants are placed together. It states: “Side by side or miles apart, best friends like us stay close at heart” — but you can also choose from three other friendship-inspired inscriptions. They’re made of stainless steel that comes in black, gold (pictured), silver, and rose-gold tones.

With an 4.8-star overall rating after more than 28,000 customers have chimed in, this friendship cuff bracelet is beloved by many shoppers. While it may look simple at first glance, the bracelet features small details with lots of meaning: There are teensy hearts etched into either side of the cuff, and the inner side has a brief, heartfelt engraving which reads, “Friends are the family we choose.” The bracelet is made out of stainless steel, making it resistant to tarnishing and rust.

One reviewer wrote: “Great product and price. I got this gift for my best friend and she absolutely loved it. Cute packaging and the bracelet itself is sturdy. Love how meaningful it is! Absolutely recommend.”
While they come as a duo, the pieces of this friendship necklace set are distinct. One has a light blue gemstone charm and the other an orange one. Each is strung on a delicate metal chain that’s plated with 14-karat gold. As an added bonus, the chain is adjustable between 16 and 17.5 inches. One thing to keep in mind? The brand recommends that you remove the jewelry during a shower, workout, or swim, presumably to preserve the gold plating. Shop it as a pair, or as a three-piece set for a few more dollars.

One reviewer wrote: “SOOOOO beautiful. My bestfriend and I love it. Definitely recommend it for a gift.”
Take a trip down memory lane with this set of braided friendship bracelets. The bracelets are handcrafted out of multicolored thread and come in a set of 10, making them a total steal. It’s a perfect set if you and your BFF like to stack several bracelets on your wrists — or if you share your heart with more than one bestie. As a nice sparkly touch, each bracelet also features gold-tone metal beads (though the manufacturer doesn’t specify exactly what the metal is). It also fits most wrists, thanks to the adjustable slip knot.

One reviewer wrote: “I give them away as friendship bracelets and I wear them. They are well made, I like the lil gold beads, they add some pizazz, and everyone seems to brighten up when they get these as well. Great product, good seller, happy with the price, I will be ordering more!”
This spiral friendship ring can be engraved with two names in the font of your choice. Made out of stainless steel, in gold or silver tones, the ring can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, according to reviewers. One tradeoff is that it only comes in one size, and while it’s designed to be adjustable, it’s best suited for ring sizes seven to nine.

One reviewer wrote: “My friend doesn’t really wear a lot of rings, but this one she loves. She has gotten so many compliments on this! She loves that it doesn’t touch, just in case it were to get too tight and needed to be removed. It fits perfectly, without being too tight or too loose, she normally wears a size 8 on her ring finger. And the quality looks good! The only downside I would say is that you don’t get to choose a size, but because it isn’t a closed circle ring, it can change sizes.”
If you think your friend might appreciate something with a little sparkle, check out this friendship necklace. It features a thin chain with 14-karat gold plating and a bar-shaped opal pendant for an affordable way to adorn your BFF with some polished shimmer. Both the pendant and the adjustable chain are made of brass (which comes in gold, silver, and rose gold tones), and one reviewer wrote that it’s “great quality” for the price. Shop this pick as a single piece or a pair.

One reviewer wrote: “I really love this knot ring and I think it is a very pretty and dainty piece. I bought this as a pinky ring for my best friend and I. We both have pretty thin fingers so we went with a size 2. This size was perfect for our pinkies and it's definitely one of my favorite rings I own. Highly recommend purchasing!”
