What Customers Say
Jenny Bird
Jenny Bird customers love the bold, sculptural aesthetic and are pleasantly surprised by the weight and quality. The most common praise is that pieces 'look way more expensive than they are.' Some report plating wear after extended daily use, but overall durability exceeds expectations.
Missoma
Missoma customers are polarized — exceptional praise for celebrity-approved designs and world-class customer service sits alongside frustration with pieces tarnishing within months and stones falling out. The brand's willingness to replace pieces quickly is both a strength and an implicit admission of durability issues.

Key Data Points
Jenny Bird's gold plating averages 2.5 microns thick, matching industry standards, while Missoma's 18K gold vermeil uses gold over sterling silver — a technically superior material that paradoxically tarnishes faster.
Missoma maintains a 4.5/5 TrustScore across 5,000+ Trustpilot reviews with exceptional customer service, compared to Jenny Bird's 4.2/5 across 1,200+ reviews.
Multiple Missoma customers report tarnishing within 3 months despite the premium vermeil construction, while Jenny Bird pieces typically maintain appearance for 1-2 years of regular wear.
Final Verdict
This is the sculptural modern jewelry showdown between two brands that have built loyal followings through distinctive design and social media savvy. Both score 82, but they get there in very different ways — Jenny Bird through structural boldness and durability, Missoma through delicate elegance and celebrity cachet.
Bold vs. Delicate
Jenny Bird’s DNA is architectural — chunky hoops, geometric cuffs, and statement pieces that command attention. Missoma’s approach is refined layering — delicate chains, dainty charms, and stackable pieces designed to build an effortless look. Your personal style preference will likely make this decision for you before the data does.
The Durability Question
This is where Jenny Bird gains the edge. Despite Missoma’s technically superior 18K gold vermeil (gold over sterling silver), tarnishing within 3-6 months is a recurring customer complaint. Jenny Bird’s 14K gold plated brass construction, while less precious, seems to hold up better to daily wear. For pieces you plan to wear frequently, Jenny Bird is the safer bet.
The Bottom Line
Jenny Bird wins on durability and bold design. Missoma wins on trend alignment, celebrity endorsement, and customer service. If you want sculptural jewelry that lasts, go Jenny Bird. If you want Instagram-ready layering pieces and don’t mind occasional replacements, Missoma delivers unmatched style.
