Must-Have Summer Necklaces

Wondering what type of jewelry to wear during these lazy days of summer? Ready to pack for that much needed tropical vacation? Get set to bask in the heat in bright summer jewelry that will keep you in an upbeat mood and keep you looking your best.

Some of the most popular buys of the season are shell and coral necklaces. These pieces are fine to wear to the beach, versatile enough to wear out and the perfect accessory for get-a-ways to far off places. In fact, when you travel, you can find some great shell necklaces that are inexpensive and unique. The great thing about these necklaces is that the stones are imperfect, giving in to their natural form and finish. So it’s perfectly okay to wear a necklace that is earthly and a little unfinished; it’s part of the charm of this trend.

If you are looking for a way to dress up a LBD (little black dress), bright necklaces in turquoise and coral can be just the ticket. They add just the right pop of color that will grab attention and have all eyes on you. Or, add a long pendant necklace with a beach inspired charm, such as a starfish or shell. This signature piece looks fantastic when set in gold, and can just as easily be worn with a peasant blouse, a sundress or jeans and a tank top.

So the next time you find yourself daydreaming about far off destinations like tropical beaches and secluded islands, consider bringing some of that vibe home with you. Simply throw on a shell or beach inspired necklaces for a little taste of relaxation. And don’t be afraid to layer these necklaces with ones that you already own. After all, summer is about carefree style that isn’t too fussy.
