Shells, starfish and colourful beads; this summer’s jewellery du jour comes with a tropical filter.
Forget any existing misgivings you might have about beach-inspired necklaces, bracelets and rings; they’ve lost their gap-year energy, and have been given a grown-up, elegant facelift. Part of the boho renaissance that arrived last summer, this season’s vacation-ready jewels are sculpted, vibrant and full of personality. We’re talking hippy-adjacent, beaded designs in colourful tones, 90s-inspired cord necklaces with shining pearl pendants, and shell and starfish charms. In the luxury space, Chloé, Isabel Marant, Jennifer Behr and Alighieri are leaders of the pack, but there are plenty of budget-friendly options on the high street too via Mango and H&M.
Mango resin shell necklace, £22.99
An easy way of achieving a holiday look with little effort, these tropical-infused pieces bring a summer sprinkling to the simplest of outfits, whether you’re on holiday or at home. Sculptural, statement necklaces need little more than a white T-shirt or crisp shirt, and a pair of jorts. If the more attention-grabbing styles aren’t your bag, consider more subtle oceanic pieces – a beaded bracelet or a shell charm added to a much-loved gold chain. Lean into the boho vibe and embrace the ‘neckmess’, an artful tangle of necklaces in varying lengths.
