Summer style favourites (rain or shine)

The sun may have abandoned us, but we can still create our own sunshine with a few summer style favourites. (Plus plenty of ice cream and cocktails, obviously!)

Bring your own sunshine with our summer jewellery style picks

Despite the weather doing its very best to dampen our spirits, it is in fact summer right now. The grey skies and driving rain may feel more like February, but don't let that get in the way of  enjoying your favourite summer fashion choices. 

In an attempt to cheer ourselves up from the endless rain, we’ve put together a few of our summer jewellery style favourites. And with these beauties at your disposal you’re guaranteed to look and feel hot, whatever mischief the weather gets up to.

Colours of the sand and sea

Certain colours and motifs are made for summer no matter what the weather has in store. And brilliant blue turquoise gemstones are up there with our favourites.

Maybe it’s because they remind us of the sea and midsummer skies. Or maybe it’s because it has that mystical allure? Whatever its secret, turquoise combined with silver or gold is a winning summer combination. 

Turquoise itself is glorious. But there are also other, similar, azure-coloured gemstones we love too. Amazonite, aventurine and aqua calci all boast beautiful shades of blue. Bright, breezy, glamourous and full of promise, they look magical alongside silver or gold and seem to capture the spirit of summer.

Annie Haak’s turquoise series for instance. Featuring bundles of summery beaded bracelets that build to create beautiful stacks. And delicate necklaces and anklets that mix tiny symbols with silver, gold and turquoise stones. 

Shells and pearls beachy vibe

What has more of a beachy vibe than pearls and shells? We love them both and summer is the ideal time to show them off. From pretty pearl drop earrings to shell motifs in silver and gold. There are plenty of ways to incorporate these summer jewellery favourites into your look.

Grab yourself a couple of Daisy’s dainty shell motif stackable rings in silver or gold. Embrace the milky, opal shades of mother of pearl, or silver rainbow tones of abalone. Or treat yourself to a new shell shaped charm for your necklace or bracelet.

Remember too, that pearls don’t have to be formal. These days they can be found in all sorts of modern settings and designs. From the funky natural pearl pieces by Shyla and Ania Haie, to the seaside sweetness of Jersey Pearl’s friendship bracelets.

Reminiscing with rose gold

There’s something about the warmth of rose gold that makes it a summer jewellery favourite all round.

That hint of pink in the metal speaks of summer romance. Stirring up memories of long summer evenings and tropical sunsets. A simple rose gold chain, bracelet or ring will bring instant summer glamour to any outfit. But it looks especially good contrasted against white, cream or black.

Elegant ankle bracelets

Nothing feels more like summer than your favourite ankle bracelets. Slip on your sandals, and add your anklets for extra elegance on those walks by the beach. 

Wear one or stack them like bracelets. They look particularly pretty with cut off jeans, shorts or summer dresses. What’s more, you can dress them up or down depending on your outfit and destination. We especially love Scream Pretty’s decorative chain anklets. Or Annie Haak’s delicate chains and droplets of colour and sparkle.

Gold hoops and chains: summer style favourites

Gold hoops and chains are the essence of summer casual style. Ideal for days out in the city or hanging out by the seaside. Both are stylishly stackable or stunning on their own.

Curate your gold hoop look by combining a variety of sizes or different details on each ear. Or simply wear one pair of killer gold hoops to elevate any outfit.

Choose to wear your gold chains in one chunky number, or layer dainty versions with symbols or charms of your choice.
