It’s not just your clothes that change with the seasons, you should reassess your jewellery choices too. As the sun comes out to shine once again, we talk you through the must-wear jewellery pieces for the spring and summer seasons.
Watch Your Style
For many people, one of the most important accessories you can ever wear is a watch. No longer just a tool for telling the time, the watch has become an iconic must-have wearable that makes a statement about your personality. The coldest months bring out our grandest watches, but as we move away from winter, it’s time to put the stately timepieces back in the drawer for the rest of the year.
This spring/summer, it’s all about complementing the light and airy feel of the seasons with your watches, so why not opt instead for a David Wellington classic? Clean cut with a minimalistic design, the canvas bracelet strap not only feels weightless on your wrist, it also makes for easy removal if you fancy a dip in the pool on holiday.
For the men, this Classic Cambridge (left) is the pure embodiment of summer with the ocean blue and green tones, and the ladies, this Glasgow Silver (right) piece transitions perfectly from beachwear to evening.
Going For Gold
Over the next few weeks, make the transition towards warmer golds in your adornments that provoke images of glorious sandy beaches. So for all your jewellery, from bangles and bracelets to necklaces and earrings, gold is the way forward.
This Yellow Gold Bangle set with piercing blue gems is the perfect addition to your lazyday beach outfit, as the jewels perfectly match the clear blue oceans we’re all dreaming about!
If yellow gold isn’t really your colour, rose gold is a beautiful alternative. Whilst still showcasing the warm depth of yellow gold, it offers a slightly more colourful substitute, as the jewellery will shimmer pink when it catches the light.
Less is More
Sometimes, less is more, and this is certainly the case when it comes to spring/summer jewellery.
Go for the delicate minimalist pieces that sit gently on the wrist or collarbone and draw attention to themselves without detracting from the rest of your outfit. When it comes to fine jewellery in summer, silver is an acceptable choice as it glints and shimmers when it catches the light.
This Silver Feather Pendant is perfect for the upcoming spring/summer months as it conjures up images of tropical birds, whilst this Gold Pink Crystal Pear Drop necklace is the ultimate summer evening necklace, especially if you can’t resist making a statement.
Play By Your Own Rules
Whilst there are jewellery trends that come around every year like clockwork, a wise person once said that rules are there to be broken. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your style and try different pieces of jewellery to suit your spring/summer styles. Finding a new favourite gem that you adore will look much better on you than following a trend just for the sake of it.
