Jewelry – Summer Glamour


Summer in Austin is more than just a season, it’s a vibe. It’s sunshine-soaked rooftops, cool drinks at golden hour, and bold, confident fashion choices that celebrate individuality. And when it comes to summer glamour, nothing captures that sunlit sparkle quite like the right jewelry. From luminous gold to vibrant gemstones, your jewelry should shine as brightly as the Texas sun.

At Benold’s Jewelers, we’ve been helping style-savvy Austinites bring their looks to life for over 90 years. Whether you’re headed to a wedding under the stars, brunch in the city, or a weekend getaway by the lake, our curated collections are designed to complement your summer aesthetic. We believe jewelry should never be an afterthought, it should be the exclamation point to your warm-weather wardrobe.

Why Summer is the Season to Shine

While fashion evolves with the seasons, summer always calls for something a little bolder, a little freer. Lighter fabrics and more open necklines make the perfect canvas for statement earrings, layered necklaces, and colorful cocktail rings. It’s the ideal time to let your jewelry take center stage.

Summer also brings a sense of spontaneity, sunset dinners, impromptu road trips, music festivals, and your jewelry should move with you. That’s why many summer jewelry staples balance drama with wearability, offering pieces that feel both luxurious and effortless.

Our Favorite Jewelry Styles for Summer Glamour

At Benold’s, we specialize in helping clients find pieces that feel authentic and exciting. Here’s a look at the styles that define this season’s radiant elegance.

Luminous Gold for Golden Hour


Luminous Gold for Golden Hour

Yellow gold has an undeniable allure in the summertime, it reflects the sun beautifully and adds warmth to every look. Whether you’re going minimalist or all-out glam, gold jewelry instantly elevates.

Try a pair of gold hoop earrings in a bold size for maximum impact with a breezy sundress, or layer delicate gold chains with sun-kissed skin and a strapless top. Benold’s offers a refined selection of gold styles in varying weights and textures, so you can find pieces that fit your mood, bold, boho, or classically chic.

Pro tip: Mix matte and polished finishes for depth and dimension, or layer varying chain lengths to draw the eye.

Colorful Gemstones That Pop


Colorful Gemstones That Pop

Summer style is nothing if not colorful. That’s why we love using gemstone jewelry to inject vibrancy into even the simplest outfit. Think turquoise, citrine, peridot, or blue topaz, stones that not only channel summer hues but also radiate energy.

Benold’s carries an array of colorful gemstone jewelry, including one-of-a-kind designs from brands like Suzy Landa, Alex Sepkus and Lauren K Fine Jewelry, where natural stones meet sophisticated style. Suzy Landa is synonymous with vibrant gemstones and contemporary design. Her jewelry is crafted for the modern woman who loves to blend boldness with elegance. 
 
If you adore detail-oriented craftsmanship, Alex Sepkus is the designer to know. His work stands out for its intricate textures and mesmerizing patterns, which are inspired by art and architecture.  Last but not least, Lauren K’s jewelry embraces femininity, whimsy, and a delightful appreciation of natural beauty. Her bold gemstones and playful designs are ideal for creating summer looks that feel fresh and trendy yet timeless.

Pearls With a Modern Twist


Pearls With a Modern Twist

Forget everything you thought you knew about pearls. Modern pearl jewelry is sleek, cool, and perfect for warm-weather wear. From irregular baroque pearls to mixed-material designs, today’s pearl pieces are far from traditional.

We’re especially loving pearl and gold combinations that feel fresh and fashion-forward. A strand of uneven pearls with gold accents, a single pearl drop earring, or a pearl ring set in a bold, sculptural setting offers that perfect blend of classic and contemporary.

Stackable Bracelets and Layered Necklaces


Stackable Bracelets and Layered Necklaces

Stacking is the name of the game this summer, and we’re all for it. Whether you’re layering delicate tennis bracelets, textured bangles, or mixed-metal cuffs, a curated arm stack tells a story. It’s a reflection of your personality—sophisticated, playful, a little rebellious.

The same goes for necklaces. This season, it’s all about combining charms, chains, and personal touches like initials or birthstones. Benold’s carries a wide range of stackable and layerable pieces from designers who understand the art of subtle statement-making.

Styling tip: Vary your textures and chain weights, and don’t be afraid to mix metals, it’s about expression, not perfection.

Earrings That Catch the Light



Earrings That Catch the Light

From chandeliers to climbers, earrings are having a moment. And what better season to let them shine than summer, when you’re wearing your hair up or tucked under a sun hat?

Look for open shapes, negative space, and movement, styles that dance with the light and draw attention to your face. Whether you’re going for sculptural gold or playful gemstones, earrings are an easy way to add instant glamour to your look.
