Just like my fashion, I tend to wear a mix of versatile, high-low jewelry that I can layer, and that can be worn from day to night with a variety of outfits. When purchasing costume jewelry, I look for pieces that offer long-lasting quality so that they don’t fade and look cheap within a few months. I found a great medallion necklace and chunky gold hoops this summer that are getting quite a bit of attention lately, so I thought I would share them with you here. Keep reading to see my new “luxe for less” accessories I’ve been wearing on repeat.

I get so many compliments every single time I wear this necklace. The gorgeous medallion is set in mother of pearl and framed with pavè simulated diamonds on a gold paperclip chain! It is one of my favorite go-to pieces these days and I wear it with everything from a t shirt and jeans to my out-to-dinner outfits. It's made with 18k gold plated over brass which keeps the price down without sacrificing the quality. You can also personalize this beautiful and versatile necklace with engraved words on the back, making it a great gift choice (I received this one from my mother-in-law who has impeccable taste!).

Your search for the perfect chunky gold hoops is over! My current obsession are these Jennifer Fisher huggies that are made of plated brass. Not only do they elevate any outfit, they are simply gorgeous, super lightweight and comfortable. Plus, the posts are made of 14k gold so my ears NEVER get infected when I wear them. They are also available in silver and are offered in a variety of 7 hoop sizes. Jennifer Fisher also makes the most beautiful fine jewelry in similar styles. But--I really do love the brass ones, and they offer a lot of look for less!
