Summer Jewelry Essentials

Summer is finally here and with temperatures on the rise, it’s time to show off the hottest jewelry looks for summer. We’ve put together our list of seven jewelry essentials that are on trend for the season and that will play up any summer outfit. Let us know which one is your favorite!

1. Statement Rings

A statement ring is a simple and easy way to add extra pop to any outfit. We love the mix of Turquoise, Lapis, Amethyst, lolite and Blue Topaz in this Anzie bouquet ring.

Mother-of Pearl, Peridot, canary yellow diamonds, and, of course, anything in the purple family (the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year is Radiant Orchid) are all in style for summer. Which summer gemstone is your favorite?

2. Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings are the ultimate summer accessory and look great from day to night. In trendy rose gold, silver, yellow gold, or dressed up in diamonds, hoop earrings can be worn with anything from your swimsuit to denim shorts to your LBD.

3. Sporty Watch

From classic to colorful, a sporty timepiece offers a fresh look for summer. The stylish and sporty watch from Citizen is a great way for men to add a little something to their summer look. Ladies can look white-hot with the chic white leather watch from ELLE.

4. Layered Chains and Charms

Layers of delicate, short and long chain necklaces are lightweight and a cool look for summer. The fun thing about this trend is that you can keep it simple and feminine with a few thin, dainty chains or go bold by piling on several chains with colorful charms or pendants. We think the mini Aztec Starburst necklace from Anzie looks great layered with the Mirror Mirror Station wrap necklace from Freida Rothman. Which layered look would you wear?

5. Bib Necklace

A bright, bold bib necklace is an easy way to dress up your summer wardrobe and adds a decorative touch to the simplest of clothes—from a plain tank top to a crisp white button-down shirt. Throw this turquoise enamel flower bib necklace from Freida Rothman over a white tee to add a colorful statement piece to your look. For more of an understatement, we love the subtly in the crystal CZ necklace from Elle’s Starpoint collection.

6. Stacks (and Stacks) of Bangles

Bracelets and bangles work with a wide range of looks, from the beach to the office to a summer barbecue. The best part about this trend is that it’s easy to create a unique look. Mix metals, colors, sizes, and textures—beads, stones, and cords—to create different looks all summer long.

7. Anklets

One of the staples of summer jewelry is the anklet. Delicate and feminine, an anklet is a great way to accent your tan legs and summer sandals. From a playful Palm tree to a shimmery diamond solitaire, we have a wide range of Lafonn anklets in store.
