My summer mantra has to be the bigger the earrings, the closer you are to fashion glory. Over the last few weeks, I’ve scrolled my favorite brands’ jewelry pages more and more before I hit the check-out button. Maybe it’s because of the viral Bottega Veneta drop earrings or the resurgence of oversize ’80s aesthetics, but I’ve been feeling the jewelry itch more and more this summer. With every outfit I wear, it feels like the earrings are never big enough, my fingers don’t have enough rings, and I could use an anklet or two.
While quiet luxury reigns supreme in our clothing, this summer, every accessory trend revolves around exotic opulence. While celebrities and influencers are wearing pieces that cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, the reality is that some of the best jewelry comes directly from the time period—which means secondhand vendors, flea markets, and vintage bins are the way to go. If you’re the lucky few with an array of costume jewelry hand-me-downs: congratulations! But for the rest of us, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite on-trend statement jewelry that is the definition of chic without costing an arm and a leg. Below, scroll to discover 27 jaw-dropping jewelry finds that look like they came straight off the catwalk for under $100.
