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 The Selva Oscura Choker, £1,250; Lucy Delius Trombone Link Chain Gold Diamond Necklace, £13,500
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 Gold Links Bracelet, £4,950; Nada Ghazal Baby Malak Cuffs, From £3700; Baignoire de Cartier, £13,200
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.
Spinelli Kilcollin Cici ring, £6,150; CHANEL Coco Crush Earrings, £6,600; Edge of Ember Necklace Set, £306
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.

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.
