Strings of boho beads, tropical motifs and lashings of gleaming gold: the right summer jewellery can take your holiday outfits from hot to sizzling. Something about new, sunny surroundings conjures the desire to adopt a different style personality – something joyful, free-spirited, and one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. A shell necklace at the beach? Don’t mind if we do!
If you’re building your getaway capsule wardrobe, you might be wondering: what summer jewellery trends are the style set wearing this year? From the revival of charm bracelets to chunky beaded necklaces, these are the pieces to buy for your upcoming trip.
That’s right: the number one jewellery staple of your childhood is back. Tapping into fashion’s collective noughties nostalgia (see also: big, bold bag charms), charm bracelets and necklaces display the trinkets and talismans that mean the most to you – or, simply, those that best showcase your summer vibe. Not the collecting kind? Look to pre-adorned pieces from the likes of Hermina Athens, Valentino Garavani and Dolce&Gabbana for a beachy quick fix.
It’s no news that the boho trend continues to rule summer street style, and its jewellery equivalent is hot on its heels. Donned by the likes of Dua Lipa and Gigi Hadid, colourful beaded necklaces are perhaps the biggest jewellery trend of summer 2025 – instantly delivering a dose of personality into everything from white cotton T-shirts to tropical swimwear. Anni Lu, Suzanne Kalan and Jacquie Aiche are just some of the brands to jump on board.
Fish, shells, palm trees and tropical birds: no member of the natural world is out of bounds when it comes to this summer jewellery trend. Lean into the holiday theme with oversized pendants and earrings that will look right at home on an island trip – and bring a little wanderlust spirit to your looks once you arrive back home. This is our ‘method dressing’.
Whether you’re bound for a day at the beach or a sunset pool party, your rotation needs to cover all bases.
Beyond being a holiday staple, textured raffia bags have risen to become the season’s It-accessory.
