#5 BaubleBar
The founders started BaubleBar after they were shopping and they couldn’t help but feel as though retailers treated jewelry as an afterthought, a fact that was apparent from the shopping experience. So they set out to fix it.
BaubleBar strips out the overhead and source their products directly, to avoid any middleman markup. (Most retailers mark jewelry up as high as 20x above cost). Their access allows them even more flexibility than just price, they work closely with their suppliers to introduce new product on a constant basis, and to tailor their selection based on real-time feedback they get from shoppers. Browse new arrivals weekly, not seasonally, based on what you want to see.
