The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing and runs only through Sunday, Aug. 9 — a rare window to pick up designer and everyday jewelry at steep markdowns. Alongside the broader sale, Nordstrom is hosting an online-only Fine Jewelry Trunk Show with more than 100 specially priced pieces that will drop off the site and revert to full price after Aug. 9.
With everything from under-$50 finds to six-figure statement pieces on offer, this is a moment to balance impulse buys with items that hold long-term value. Here are the details shoppers need now, plus curated picks and practical tips for getting the most from the sale.
Why this matters now
The limited time frame makes timing the priority: items marked as “online-exclusive” are available only during the trunk-show period and may not return. Nordstrom is also running a short promotion for new credit-card applicants — through Aug. 9 new cardholders receive $60 off their next purchase — which can shift the calculus for bigger buys.

How to shop the sale wisely
- Check the online-exclusive label before assuming an item will remain post-sale — some pieces will disappear entirely after Aug. 9.
- For higher-ticket items (natural diamonds, platinum), think in terms of price per wear and resale/insurability.
- Smaller purchases — like CZ studs or plated chains — are low-risk ways to try a trend without a long-term commitment.
- Review Nordstrom’s return and warranty policies for fine jewelry; treatments, refinishing and resizing rules vary by brand and material.
- If you were on the fence about opening a Nordstrom credit account, the short-term $60 new-member credit through Aug. 9 could be worth it for an immediate offset on a larger purchase.
One broader trend visible in this year’s assortment: lab-grown diamonds and vermeil settings appear across several brands, offering a midmarket alternative to mined stones. That gives shoppers more choices if they want sparkle without the traditional price tag.
