5 Rich-Looking Summer Jewelry Trends You Can Get for Under $150

While I wear jewelry 365 days a year, my favorite jewelry season has to be summer. More exposed skin means more jewelry to adorn it with. You also may have noticed that it's become commonplace to pile on jewelry with everything from a bikini to workout gear, so if you love jewelry, you're in luck these days.

When it comes to anything in fashion, rich-looking items that don't cost a lot of money is a great goal to have. And I'm shopping for summer jewelry pieces with that philosophy in mind. Five of the biggest jewelry trends of the season are quite easy to find affordable versions of, and I'm happy to report that I sourced the ones that look the most expensive.

Read on for the rich-looking jewelry trends everyone will be wearing out in the summer sun, and shop the aforementioned affordable ones that people will assume you spent thousands on.

The most aggressively "summery" trend of the bunch, seashore motifs are perfect for balmy days. This season, the vibe is more sophisticated as opposed to cutesy (think, this Bottega Veneta pair). Think natural pearls, coral motifs, seashells mixed with silver or gold, and organic shapes.

It's been a minute since bracelets were trendy but that's all changed, thanks to brands like Saint Laurent that put chunky bracelets back on the map for 2023. And now that we'll all be shedding the long sleeves soon, summer is the perfect time to show off your wristwear.

Just like everything else that was last popular in the early 2000s, toggle necklaces are back again. This trend feels particularly fresh and you may be one of the first of your friend group to start wearing it if you snag one now.
