This summer, elevate your style with jewelry that balances sophistication with ease. We’ve asked Hannah to share a few of her favorite pieces that have been heavy in her rotation this season. Having any of these versatile pieces in your collection will easily take you from workdays to boat outings, and evening Aperol spritzes - all summer long.
We have been loving floating diamonds in almost every form. Wear them on a necklace, a bracelet or earrings. They truly add an effortless sparkle to any look, with diamonds that appear to effortlessly hang. These delicate diamonds catch the light with every movement, perfect for sun-filled summer days. Floating diamonds are versatile and lightweight, transitioning outfits seamlessly from day to night. When I spent three weeks on Martha’s Vineyard recently, I found myself reaching for two of these necklaces at varying lengths to complete my outfits.
For a bolder statement, our clients have gravitated toward the trend of paper clip chains. Recently, we’ve custom made both bracelets and necklaces in these styles, for clients adding to their everyday jewelry collection. Personally, I enjoy the below extra-long chain doubled up in two tighter rows. Popular in the ‘80s but dating back to as far as the Victorian era in relative shape, paper clip chains are great to layer with.
This is your sign to embrace mixed metals this summer. Layering different metal tones such as gold, silver and rose gold creates a unique jewelry look with depth that will make you look both timeless and on trend. Perhaps stack your favorite yellow and white gold rings together to create a minimal effort jewelry look.
We agree with Harper Bazaar’s roundup of summer jewelry trends – drop earrings are hot. An easy ponytail not only keeps you cool, but also allows an eye-catching pair of drop earrings to have their moment. By simply swapping out your everyday hoops or studs to a pair of drop earrings, you can instantly transform your look from casual to chic, ready for a summer soirée or date night. The beauty of drop earrings lies in the versatility of length and movement. Longer drops create a bolder statement, while a more subtle drop can add a touch of elegance to any ensemble.
Charm necklaces are a fun way to elevate your summer looks. Select charms that resonate with your personal mantras, or are even seasonally appropriate. Easy to pair with a casual tee and jeans for a casual throwback, the ‘90s trend adds nostalgia to any look. Sea motifs are a fun way to show your Cape spirit this time of year. Perhaps choose a seashell, fish charm or get a customized engraving of your favorite summer beach town like ACK or MV.
