Do you want to make any outfit look expensive on a budget? Cause I know I do! My favorite way to elevate any outfit and to look more expensive (affordably), is to add a gold chain-link necklace. Whether its layering a bunch of dainty chain necklaces, or going all out what a chunky chain necklace – you’ll be looking expensive as HELL!
In 2020, we’ve seen chain necklaces all over the runway. The iconic 90s choker necklaces have made a comeback and chain necklaces are now a staple in anyone’s wardrobe for fall. Iconic designer brands like Chanel, Bottege Veneta, Chloé, Saint Laurent and many more have added chain-link necklaces to their collections. BUT, you came here looking for affordable (but good quality) alternatives. So, that is what I will bring you!
Keep in mind, when I was looking for necklaces to show you guys, I wanted to make sure I linked good quality items at an affordable price – hence the “$150+” category. The things to consider when buying jewelry for yourself or a loved one is the quality of the metal. I like to find pieces that are considered demi-fine to fine jewelry. They are usually gold vermeil or gold filled pieces – they are more affordable and definitely more durable. I’m not at a place in my life to drop $500-$1K on jewelry. So, these alternatives are great for – SAY IT WITH ME LADIES – looking expensive on a budget!
I have created a list of my favorite go-to chain necklaces. Some I already own and wear everyday, others are statement pieces, and some are currently in my cart. Whether you like a statement piece or more minimal everyday jewelry piece, you will find something in here that is suited for you and your budget!
