50+ Summer Jewelry Finds | Life Unsweetened

If there’s one thing that instantly makes every summer outfit feel more put together, it’s the right jewelry. Whether you’re throwing on a simple linen dress, your favorite denim shorts, or a breezy matching set, a few fun accessories can completely transform your outfit.

This season’s jewelry trends are playful and coastal: think colorful beads, ocean-inspired charms, chunky shells, starfish details, fish motifs, pearls, and gold pieces that look like treasures collected on a beach vacation.

I’ve rounded up more than 50 of my favorite summer jewelry finds from some of my go-to retailers, including BaubleBar, Madewell, J.Crew, Kendra Scott, LOFT, Anthropologie, and more. From affordable everyday pieces to statement accessories you’ll wear on repeat, these are the styles I’m loving right now.

BaubleBar

BaubleBar has some of the most playful pieces of the season. Turquoise tones, natural shell details, pearls, and colorful beaded necklaces give every piece a vacation-ready feel while still being easy to wear.

Madewell

Embrace the ultimate “coastal chic” vibe with this stunning lineup of ocean-inspired summer jewelry from Madewell. This collection beautifully captures the trending mermaidcore (yes, it’s a real thing) and Mediterranean-cool aesthetics, anchoring rich, vibrant lapis-blue beads alongside organic textures like mother-of-pearl, molten golds, and sleek sculptural silver.

J Crew

J.Crew leans heavily into a refined, “maritime heirloom” aesthetic with this stunning collection of summer jewelry. I like to think of it as a blend of whimsical seaside elements with classic New England sophistication. The collection perfectly captures the elevated nautical and eclectic charm trends, balancing substantial, structured elements like thick gold chains and chunky, oversized baroque pearls with delicate, playful details.

Kendra Scott

Kendra Scott’s summer jewelry arrivals lean heavily into high-shine luxury, artisanal textures, and iridescence. This lineup showcases the brand’s signature stone-setting expertise with ocean motifs like starfish, sand dollars, and fish. I love that they offer most pieces in multiple metals, which I love as a silver girl myself.

Loft

Loft brings a vibrant, high-energy charm to summer accessorizing with these pieces. This summer jewelry collection’s showstoppers are undoubtedly the intricately beaded, bright red lobster drop earrings and the whimsical blue fish drops topped with white shell studs.

Anthropologie

Anthropologie channels an artistic, globetrotting vibe with this summer jewelry selection. These pieces lean into rich, worldly textures and unexpected design details. Standouts include the striking blue-and-white porcelain-style Chinoiserie starfish studs and dramatic shell tassel earrings draped in tiny seed-bead “coral” branches.
