Summer Statement Jewelry
Summer calls for jewelry that’s big, bold, and begging to be worn with a tan. Think sculptural earrings, juicy resin rings ($12 on Etsy!), and necklaces that are calling out for a beach ‘fit. Whether you’re dressing up a cotton top or elevating your vacation kaftan, these statement pieces do all the heavy lifting—and then some.
This season, I’m not only wearing all of my gold favorites (see: my gold clover from Aurelia Demark), but I’m also leaning into oversized hoops, enamel everything, chunky bangles, and beaded layers reminiscent of the summer camp DIY of my youth.
Here, a shopping list with summer’s best statement-making jewelry – from designer splurges to under-$100 styles.
