Make a statement with a pair of oversized hoop earrings. A simple pair of gold hoop earrings is perfect for people looking for a classic and understated look. For those who want to make a splash, try a pair of colored door knocker style earrings. Not only do large hoop earrings add an extra dash of glamour to your outfit, but they are compatible with a wide variety of fashion styles. You can also wear them to a variety of events and destinations, such as an anniversary party or wedding reception. 

2. Colorful Gems

Summer colors such as turquoise, gold, white, and red are perfect for implementing into your jewelry closet. Try out necklaces and bracelets featuring colorful gemstones to add an extra splash of color to your outfit. To keep your vibrant gemstones as the main focus of your outfits, match the jewelry pieces with a white dress or set of muted clothes. 

3. Statement Necklaces and Bracelets

Statement necklaces with thick chains or chunky pieces of jewelry have also grown in popularity recently. Chain necklaces, in particular, have been spotted both on the runway and in the streets. These fun, chunky chains also come in bracelets, making them perfect for a casual get together or a night at the movies. You may also see people wearing statement chokers lined with jewelry. As we move closer to the fall, remember to keep these pieces in your wardrobe to pair with a comfortable sweater or a knitted cardigan. 

4. Dangle Earrings

If you have an upcoming wedding ceremony or birthday celebration to attend, consider wearing an elegant pair of dangle earrings. These stylish earrings come in a variety of styles, such as the elaborate chandelier style and the subtle teardrop style. They also come in different lengths, making it easy to find one that suits your unique outfit and style. Place your hair in a simple ponytail or updo to complete the look. 

5. Pearls

Pearls are a classic jewelry staple that everyone should have in their closets. If you don’t already have a pair of pearl earrings or a pearl necklace, now is the perfect time to purchase one. Many people also enjoy designing their own custom jewelry, especially if they are wearing it for a special occasion or they plan to pass it down as a family heirloom one day. You can design your own pearl drip earrings, add a couple of pearls to a custom bracelet, and more. Pearls are an extremely versatile gem to work with. 

6. Chunky Statement Pieces

7. Single Earrings

Single earrings are probably one of the more daring jewelry trends on this list. Most people who try out this trend wear a large statement earring or dangle earring. One of the most common takes on this trend is wearing a large gold ear cuff on one ear. Sporting a single earring without making it seem that you forget to place your other earring in is definitely a challenge. However, if this bold look speaks out to you, don’t be afraid to try it and put your own spin to it. 

8. Stacked Bracelets

Stacked bracelets are another fun and easy jewelry trend to follow. Simply mix and match your favorite sets of bracelets and you are good to go. Go bold and pair a set of bangles with a statement bracelet or keep it simple with just a few thin bracelets. The customization options for this trend are endless. 


Summer is the perfect time to display your favorite pieces of jewelry. Whether you have a family BBQ coming up or an outdoor birthday party on the horizon, you will love the endless jewelry combinations you can try on wherever you go.
