Nailing your beach jewellery look can sometimes be a challenge. After all, there are so many factors to consider. If you’re looking to take a dip in the water, you will want to make sure that it can withstand a splash of seawater. But if you’re more of a sunbather, you’ll want jewellery that matches your swimsuit too. For pieces that are perfect for both sand and sea, we have put together a list of our Best Beach Jewellery to get you beach-ready this summer.
The Best Beach Jewellery
For the Beach-Reader: ChloBo Light Echoes Sunglasses Chain Gold Plated Coloured Beads GSCLASLKA
First up on our best beach jewellery list is this ChloBo sunglasses chain. Doubling up style with practicality, sunglasses chains are definitely the most underrated jewellery piece. This is particularly true if you are someone who likes to read a good book on the beach. But thanks to its high-quality materials and finish, this ChloBo chain is perfect for wearing every day of your holidays. It’s crafted from 18 ct gold-plated 925 sterling silver, which gives it a beautiful warm feel to it. Moreover, the gold-tone perfectly enunciates the colours of the gemstone beads that adorn one half of the chain. The different gemstones featured on the chain include amethyst, sunstone, kyanite and apatite. Each gemstone has its own unique symbolism, for instance, amethyst is for wisdom, sunstone represents joy, kyanite reflects peace whilst apatite is the stone of self-acceptance.
In total, the chain measures 73cm and fits many different sizes. But, if you’re more of a silver jewellery lover, you’re also in luck! There is also an identical sterling silver version to match all your other silver accessories.
For the Sunbather: ChloBo Blissful Freedom Anklet Sterling Silver Coloured Beads SANSLKA
Looking for a piece to tie in with your new sunglasses chain? We recommend this matching ChloBo anklet. Anklets are another often neglected jewellery piece, but they are the perfect subtle accessory for a beach day (or week!). This ChloBo piece is pure 925 sterling silver, which gives it a cooler tone than the gold of the sunglasses chain. However, there is less emphasis on the metal of this piece and the design is predominantly beaded. These beads are made from the same precious gemstones as its matching sunglasses chain, but this way they can be with you both on and off the beach. The medley of blue and sand-coloured gemstones is truly beautiful, with their tones even reflecting those characteristic of the coast. Whether you’re sunbathing, shell collecting or rock pool exploring, there’s no better opportunity to show off your ChloBo anklet than a beach day.
For the Shell Collector: Fossil Women’s Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Shell Stud Earrings JF04058710
Speaking of shell-collecting, next up are these stunning Fossil earrings. Reminiscent of beach-time fun, the earrings’ shell shape brings the seaside spirit anywhere.
They’re crafted from gold-tone stainless steel which gives them a warm and summery look. Additionally, their stud design makes them comfortable for all-day wear and ideal for an activity-packed day out on the coast. A pushback and post mechanism secures the earrings meaning they are easy to remove when you fancy a dip in the ocean, too. Dainty and adorable, these earrings will add a bohemian edge to any beach-day look.
For the Sea-Splasher: James Moore TH 20″ Platinum Women’s Curb Chain CP105/20
If you don’t want to worry about damaging your jewellery in the sea this year, we recommend opting for materials like platinum. Whilst softer metals like sterling silver and gold can survive sea-water conditions, the corrosive nature of seawater speeds up their oxidation. As a result, your jewellery dulls and tarnishes faster with regular wear in the sea. However, even these softer metals hold up better against salty sea water than alloys like rose gold, which is made of copper. Metals like copper and iron corrode very easily in salt water, and you should definitely avoid wearing them in the sea.
Platinum, on the other hand, is a bit more robust. Like sterling silver and gold, it should not be religiously worn in the water. However, platinum jewellery will give you a bit more peace of mind that it’s not as delicate as the alloy metal jewellery you may already have. To protect your existing jewellery collection, change out your chains for ones like this James Moore platinum curb chain. We particularly like this one for its versatile length. It measures 20 inches, meaning it sits in the middle of the chest. Although simplistic, it’s definitely a worthwhile investment if you are a dedicated jewellery lover.
For the Rock Pool Roamer: Elements Silver White Freshwater Pearl Necklace 41-43cm N3844W
On the oceanic theme, next up is this Elements freshwater pearl necklace. A staple for any collection, pearl jewellery is a timeless classic renowned for its versatility. This particular necklace from Elements features a sterling silver chain as its base. To match the base, it fastens at the back with a sterling silver spring ring fastening. Along the chain are white freshwater pearls. Our favourite thing about this necklace is that these pearls have been left in their natural imperfect shape, so each necklace is unique.
Dress it up or down, this Elements piece is a gorgeous accompaniment for any occasion as long as its shown off.
An All-Rounder: Thomas Sabo Charming Silver Stone Turquoise Beaded Tie Bracelet A1987-905-17-L20V
Perfect for any type of fun in the sun, we love this Thomas Sabo tie bracelet. Threaded onto a pretty pink cord, the bracelet’s turquoise beads are an oceanic hue that will complement any skin tone. Moreover, the slider on the bracelet means it has an adjustable length of 13 cm to 20 cm, so it accommodates a variety of wrist sizes.
A sparkly white cubic zirconia crystal-set pendant forms a floating centrepiece to the design. Its glitziness adds some glamour to an otherwise bohemian bracelet and gently catches the sunlight when worn. Whether you choose to wear it on its own or layer it, this turquoise Thomas Sabo is unmissable on the wrist.
