What’s the best part about summer? Beach season — sun, surf, sand and salt air … with a bit of sunscreen mixed in for good measure! Even if a vacation to the shore isn’t on the horizon at the moment, however, you can capture the allure of the ocean by wearing beach-themed jewelry. 
Here are a few of our favorite nautical-inspired pieces that’ll keep you afloat during the hot weather, even if you’re stuck in class or in the office during the summer. 

channel your inner Ariel

Everything is better under the sea (plus they’ve got whosits and whatsits galore down there). Even if you can’t belt out a siren song, you can give yourself cherished pieces to commemorate a special vacation, your love for lake life, or your affinity for mermaid jewelry.

put your best fish forward 

Mermaid tails are cool and all, but fish and other aquatic creatures are the real MVPs of the ocean. Just ask the orcas! 

  • Wear a freshwater cultured pearl bracelet complete with a quirky fish charm while out to a seaside dinner. 
  • Add something fishy to your neck with an understanded yellow gold fish pendant embellished with diamond accents. 
  • Flip for joy with a delicate dolphin anklet that’ll accentuate your summertime tan. 

shine as brightly as the sun 

Its warm rays emanate through your body as you recline in the sand and watch sunlight dance off the waves. Just like you’d layer on sunscreen, consider layering sun jewelry with other beachy accessories. 

  • Be your own sunshine by incorporating a diamond sunburst necklace into your beach-time looks. Add some sunglasses, a cover-up, pack a good book, plenty of water, and make your way to a sandy, sunny spot. Just be sure to safely store your necklace in your beach bag before you take a dip!  

ride the tides 

They gently lap the shore, and on windier or stormy days they whip into a frenzy. Succumb to the gravitational pull of wave jewelry designed to remind you of the precarious nature of the sea. 

  • Add a delicate diamond wave to your finger with this sterling silver stunner. Accentuate the curves of the ring with a diamond bracelet. 

immerse yourself in the heart of the ocean 

Go down to the deep blue something — and return safely — by matching your jewelry with your fiery passion for the sea. 

  • Take a personal voyage inspired by deep-seated treasures with a Heart of the Ocean necklace featuring a heart-shaped blue sapphire pendant bordered by brilliant white sapphires.
