Summer Essentials: The Jewellery Edit


This season, as maximalism makes a confident return on the runways, jewellery is no exception. Layered, vibrant and statement making pieces are taking centre stage, and the 'more is more' aesthetic is thriving. Whether you're layering chains, stacking rings or mixing metals, the art lies in keeping it effortless, playful and true to your individual style.



Hardwear


A good place to start is with solid hardware statement pieces.



Alighieri’s handcrafted choker is the ultimate layer to elevate any look. Its textured finish and sculptural form offer an artisanal touch that stands out; Long link chains are also especially popular, and Lucy Delius’ Trombone link necklace with a diamond T bar pendant, inspired by a Victorian watch chain, brings antique charm into the mix.



Lauren Rubinski’s white and yellow gold interlocking link bracelet pairs effortlessly with any white or yellow gold bangles like those from Nada Ghazal. Choose between plain finishes or ones set with champagne diamonds, and anchor your wrist with an iconic gold watch from Cartier.



Prestacked Jewellery


No time to layer? No problem. These ready made pieces deliver the same 'more is more' aesthetic with zero effort.



The Cici Ring by Spinelli Kilcollin features four interlocking bands in 18 carat gold and sterling silver with rose gold connectors. Wear it stacked on one finger or spread across several; CHANEL’s Coco Crush earrings bring built in layers with an ear cuff design that can be worn both at the top and bottom of the ear; Edge of Ember’s necklace set features two lengths of twisted solid 14 carat gold rope chains with a customizable initial charm. A simple twisted chain like this one catches the light beautifully and layers well with everything.



Good Karma


Say goodbye to bad vibes this summer with jewellery that brings positive energy.



Start with Loquet’s Love, Luck and Smile Gift Set. Three golden tokens, brought together in a radiant celebration of joy, love, and happiness. Carolina Bucci’s signature hand braided Lucky Bracelet weaves a gold chain with silk and features a gold cloud dream charm.



To ward off negativity, the evil eye continues to be the universal symbol of choice. Diane Kordas’ tie dye woven bracelet features a diamond and sapphire eye motif set in white gold. Similarly, Began Khan’s gold and sapphire evil eye ear cuff offers a subtle yet protective statement.



Colour Pop


If you’re layering, add bold colourful pieces to brighten your stack and your day.



Piaget’s Possession rings are open and stackable, made in yellow gold and diamonds with bold inlays of carnelian, turquoise and malachite; Irene Neuwirth’s One of a Kind Gemmy Gem Link Necklace is a rainbow of aquamarine, Colombian emerald, fire opal, kunzite, tourmaline and more. For earrings, David Morris’ Asiyah Hoops pair radiant diamonds with glossy red ceramic discs for a punch of colour and contrast.



Pearls, Pearls Everywhere


Pearls were making nonstop appearances on the runways this season and show no signs of slowing down. To keep the trend feeling fresh, look for modern shapes and unexpected silhouettes.



Mejuri’s Pearl Charm Necklace is endlessly versatile, perfect for layering and customisable with charm additions — like their playful shell charm — to reflect your summer mood. Sophie Bille Brahe’s designs bring pearls into sculptural territory, along with the Cove pearl ring by Completedworks.



All You Need is Love


This season, jewellery is speaking in symbols - from hearts and sea creatures to playful messages - with easy to wear pieces that tell a story and spark joy.



Francesca Villa’s Duchessa Necklace and Puffer Fish Ring are miniature worlds of their own. Inspired by found objects from antique markets and collectors, her designs give new life to relics from personal histories.



Heart jewellery is no longer just about romance, it also celebrates self love and empowerment, perfectly captured by the Heart Chain from Marie Lichtenberg; Lauren Rubinski’s 14 carat gold bracelet spells out ‘Love’ in colourful enamel beads, a playful, bold reminder to wear your heart on your sleeve.
