With the influx of big jewelry moments happening right now, it would be fair to consider it the summer's main character. And accordingly, my jewelry collection has followed suit. My burgeoning assortment of pieces can be divided into two categories: classic and sleek jewelry made mainly of metal that I wear throughout the year and my summer jewelry. Pieces that fall into the latter are much more exuberant and kitschy than the usual hoops or snake chains I'd wear during any other season. The colors get brighter, the silhouettes get bolder, and the pieces are anything but dainty. June, July, and August are when these fun-loving pieces really get to shine.
Several key jewelry trends contribute to this aesthetic, from shell pieces and colorful glass to baroque pearls, but overall, I'd call it summer jewelry. I'm highlighting 30 finds that embody this free-spirited beachy vibe. In the below edit, you'll find everything from stacked sea shell chokers to floral statement earrings and beaded baubles that are ideal for wearing on vacation, to the beach, or simply layering on with your favorite summer dresses.
