You’ve beefed up your jewelry collection with the occasional knockoff. What else can a girl with champagne tastes do on a Bartles & Jaymes budget?

But the painted-on gold inevitably chips away, and all you’re left with is a burst bubble.

Sink your funds into a more manageable investment: dangly pieces from My Sun Leo. The delicate feather-focused chains and earrings created by Jodi Enggasser are inspired by her great-great-great-grandmother, who was Iroquois. Enggasser started the business out of her South Boston studio after her son, Leo, was born (hence the name); and this season’s collection, called Light as a Feather, radiates strength.

Crafted from sterling silver, 14-karat gold fill, and various stones and feather charms, the pieces are simplicity defined. Draped over a bare neck, they evoke effortless beauty.

And you can stock your collection for way less than it costs to pop a cork.
