Explore trending summer jewelry and learn how to style them for the ultimate vacation look! Plus, find out tips to keep your jewelry shining all summer long.
Summer has arrived! It's time to book your flights and pack your bags, because vacation possibilities have entered the chat. If you have an upcoming getaway marked on your calendar, we have you covered when it comes to what to pack and how to look your best this season.
Unfortunately, you can't take all your gorgeous summer jewelry pieces with you, so it's important to learn how to mix and match what you decide to bring. You might even want to splurge on a few new styles before your trip! Follow our jewelry tips and picks for your unforgettable summer vacation.
MIX AND MATCH THE BASICS
For travel, mixing and matching styles is a must. Bring a few versatile essentials that can be worn alone and together. This gives you a greater number of styling options.
Make sure you pack a pair of stud earrings—we recommend gemstone studs. Vibrant studs are perfect for vacation. Sporting brilliant topaz or warm citrine studs gives you all the glam without the weight drop earrings.
If you have them in your collection, we suggest bringing along two to three bangles. Wear them alone or stack them for a bohemian chic style. The same goes for delicate chain necklaces. On-trend for summer, chains can be worn together or apart to bring attention to your sunkissed neckline.
Take a tip from the experts: Whatever you do, don't bring your most beloved pieces! Losing them in the sand, sea, or pool is just not worth it.
SUMMER JEWELRY MUST-HAVES
There are a few pieces you should seriously consider for your summer vacation. While a heavy diamond necklace is a hazard to travel with, a delicate one can spice up your evening attire. We love this enchanting chevron necklace. Crafted from 18k white gold with soft diamond accents, this piece is striking on its own but can also be layered. Irresistibly sophisticated, this necklace is perfect for a night out on the town exploring your vacation destination.
If you're looking for something more day-to-night, we recommend open hoops. A modern take on classic hoops, open hoops are right on the mark for a vacation look. Consider these stunning yellow gold open hoop huggies by Michael M. Envision yourself mingling at the local market during the day, then effortlessly transferring to a romantic dinner out at night.
JEWELRY CARE TIPS
While fashion might be the first thing on your mind, you might want to take a few steps to ensure your jewelry remains safe, clean, and protected during your trip. Here are a few must-know tips to keep your jewelry gleaming.
MAKE A SPLASH NOT A MISTAKE
Don't wear your jewelry to the beach, lake, or pool. Chlorine, salt water, and even some freshwater from lakes are not a friend to your precious jewels. These waters can be chemically and physically harsh, leading to physical damage and discoloration. Meanwhile, sand and dirt can scratch metals and softer gemstones, decreasing their beautiful shine. Beyond that, bracelets can slip off in a backstroke; rings fall off when you're playing in the sand. It's best to leave your fashion jewelry in your room when you're headed to the water!
LOTION, TANNING OIL, BUG SPRAY… OH MY!
Take your jewelry off before you apply lotion, sunscreen, tanning oil, or bug spray. These substances do wonders for protecting you and your skin, but do no such thing for your jewelry. Applying these without first taking off your jewelry leads to build-up and deterioration that can dull your jewelry. It's possible to clean jewelry after events like this, but the best thing to do is to take them off before you apply and wait for the substance to dry completely before putting them back on.
