Summer is the perfect time to refresh your jewelry collection with brighter, sunnier looks that go wonderfully with vacation outfits or looks for outdoor events. Whether you have a summer on the lake or months of barbecue parties on the back porch in mind, there's a glistening, summery look just waiting for you. Plus, summer is the perfect time to update your wedding band to a style that pairs beautifully with popular summer metals and gemstones. 

Why Summer Is the Perfect Time to Shop for Jewelry or Update Your Wedding Band

We dress differently in the summer. You may notice that you're suddenly wearing brighter outfits and looks that are a little more whimsical and fun. This is especially true if you're invited to lots of outdoor events, weddings, or vacation trips over the summer. There's something about the sunshine that can make your jewelry really pop up. This makes dressing up with jewels so much more fun during summer. Plus, a glisten from the sun can alter your skin tone and hair color during the summer months. That can mean that the wedding band and other pieces of jewelry you wear the rest of the year may not match you quite as strongly in the summer. 

Popular Summer Jewelry Trends to Know About

Summer is all about stacking. Shorter sleeves and hair that's up make this the ideal time to show off stackable bracelets, charm bracelets, layered necklaces, playful hoops, and chunkier earrings, and adorable anklets.

Summer is also about color. Look for pieces with colorful gemstones that look dreamy against summer skin. In addition, gemstones can really make colorful summer outfits pop. Popular summer gemstone colors include blue, green, pink, yellow, coral, and white. If you're planning to go a little bolder and chunkier with accessories in the summer, getting a slimmer or more understated wedding band for the summer can be a great way to avoid crowding your look.

The Importance of Jewelry Care During Summer

An active summer can actually give your jewelry a surprise workout. Things like sunscreen, sweat, chlorine, saltwater, lotion, and heat can all affect your jewelry. Luckily, cleaning pieces regularly and visiting your favorite local jeweler for professional cleaning or advice can keep pieces in top condition for many summers to come.

FAQs

What jewelry is best for summer?

Everyday pieces like small hoops, delicate chains, tennis bracelets, diamond studs, and stackable rings are timeless classics that can give you many miles during summer because of their versatility.

Can I wear fine jewelry every day in the summer?

Yes, wearing your signature fine jewelry is fine. However, many people like to switch to chunkier pieces for a fun summer look. Plus, you may want to skip wearing high-value or heirloom pieces when boating, swimming, or doing sporting activities where pieces could be lost. Consider getting some "summer vacation" pieces of fashion jewelry for this reason.

How do I protect my jewelry from sunscreen and sweat?

Apply sunscreen and lotions before putting on jewelry to give your skin time to dry. Consider removing pieces you care about before swimming or sweating. Don't forget to clean pieces between wearing them to remove buildup.

What jewelry makes a good summer gift?

A gold tennis bracelet or anklet can be perfect for a timeless, universal summer jewelry gift that doesn't require sizing knowledge.
