Summer jewellery and how to wear it

Summer is approaching and in the jewellery world, this calls for two things. Summer jewellery trends shift towards more colourful pieces. And we also see more inspiration from nature.

This year's Summer jewellery at Niche is full of beautiful colour palettes to inspire. We also love the gorgeous leaf and shell motifs inspired by nature. These jewellery trends are perfect for the warmer months. Are you working or holidaying locally this year? Summer jewellery can help transport your mind to a tropical location.

Get inspired with our Summer jewellery highlights!

Nature inspired jewellery

Nature inspired jewellery is always a hit for Summer, and this year it's back with a bang. Bigger, bolder and brighter. In previous years we saw dainty nature inspired designs. This year we have the addition of bold and beautiful colours like emerald green and pink in Swarovski's Idyllia collection.

Flowers, shells, rainbows and the ocean are just a few elements of the natural world that inspire this jewellery collection. The environment is on everyone's mind, so why not wear nature inspired jewellery to remind us of how precious our world is?

Butterflies, dragonflies and bees also make beautiful nature inspired jewellery. Each of these creatures also has a special meaning. For example, a dragonfly symbolises change and transformation.

Flowers are another beautiful inspiration for jewellery. Daisy jewellery is inspired by the daisy flower and includes lots of nature inspired motifs.

Bright and colourful jewellery

We often get braver with colour with our Summer jewellery. Without as many clothing layers, there are more jewellery options. Plus the sun tends to bring out brighter moods and brighter accessories.

One of our absolute favourites for bright jewellery is Les Georgettes. This French company has nailed the customisable jewellery design. Their cuff bracelets are especially popular. The come in a variety of finishes, widths and designs.

You can wear every piece in three different ways. Wear it alone for elegant sophistication. The cut-out designs range from intricate to geometric and each one looks fabulous on its own. You can also wear with a reversible leather insert to provide an additional two different colourways.

The leather inserts are very affordable, starting from just £9 for an 8mm bracelet insert. It's a minimal investment in just a few different coloured reversible inserts. But it means you can have a whole range of jewellery looks using one bracelet.

If you love both colour and interesting gemstones, take a look at Coeur De Lion. Their iconic GeoCUBE designs feature beautiful colour palettes. They often use interesting natural gemstones as well as Swarovski Crystal in their pieces.

Coeur De Lion makes unique and beautiful jewellery, with an array of seasonal colours. New designs are brought out each season. We especially love this year's Summer jewellery collection.

Wear it as a statement piece or layer up for a full-colour experience.

Shell inspiration

Shells are another Summer jeweller trend which is growing in popularity. Inspired by beach and coastline, shell jewellery is particularly perfect for this Summer.

Many of us won't be able to travel to warmer destinations as we once would. So a piece of shell jewellery is perfect to give the feeling of the Summer holidays.

The cowrie and nautilus shells are both beautiful organic forms. They feature in Swarovski's current shell collection, which is giving us plenty of Summer jewellery inspiration this season.

Rainbow love

Many of us are inspired by our nation's show of support through rainbows. Multicolour jewellery is very fitting for this time. It also makes a wonderful and mood-lifting gift.
