This post is a collaboration between Deliciously Savvy & Responsival and all opinions are 100% my own.

I am not sure about you, but I always get excited for Spring and Summer as the temps are warmer and this time of the year provides the perfect weather for hosting parties and get togethers with friends and family. It is also the perfect time of year to add a few new pieces to your summer wardrobe as it’s so much fun to experiment with your fashion sense and that includes not only adding new minimalist clothing pieces to the mix but also adding the perfect pieces of jewelry that scream summer too. I love pieces that sparkle and shine and that go beautifully with sun bronzed skin for the summer months. New pieces of jewelry help me to feel young and youthful and that is truly what it is all about. Anyone that is a jewelry lover like myself knows that new jewelry pieces can make you feel uplifted and confident and they can also instantly dress up any outfit you throw their way. Below I am going to share a few of my favorite summer jewelry wardrobe staples, including my favorite gold huggie earrings, that everyone needs to add to their summer wardrobe lineup…. including some emerging trends and pieces that will have you feeling amazing any time that you put them on!

Pearls

Pearls are an amazing choice after hitting the fashion scene in 2024 in a big way. That’s right…. you can take out those pearls that you have from Grandma and add them to your summer wardrobe for the most stylish of looks for summer 2025. I love adding pearls to a pair of cute jeans and a crisp white shirt for a polished and stylish casual look for both Spring and Summer……and beyond!

When it comes to pearls…. you can go with a beautiful pearl necklace, pearl choker, pearl bracelets, pearl studs and my all time favorite….. a beautiful pair of pearl huggie earrings which provide a modern and sophisticated look. Pearls are classic, chic and demand attention whenever wearing them.

Mixed Metals

Mixed metals are a great look right now and I love this trend as I tend to stick with white gold jewelry pieces throughout the year but love how yellow gold looks against your tan skin in the summer months. I have noticed a huge uptick in stylish jewelry pieces that include two tones and they are really cool looking and the perfect addition to anyone’s summer wardrobe lineup. With mixed metal jewelry pieces you can enjoy both looks in one and that means that I can still wear some of my favorite white gold jewelry pieces with these mixed metal showstoppers. You can find all kinds of mixed metal jewelry pieces…. earrings, rings, necklaces and more.

Bold Chunky Pieces

Bold chunky pieces of jewelry, whether that be bold large studs, chunky rings, or large and bold chunky statement necklaces….will get you attention when pairing them with your summer outfits. These pieces will get noticed and they are such a fun way to add that pop of stylish fun to any outfit you add them too. I adore a nice chunky bangle bracelet to wear with a crips white button up shirt with the sleeves slight rolled up and of course with a pair of dark blue jeans and loafers.

Beaded Necklaces

I love beautiful beaded necklaces too and these are perfect for wearing solo or layered too. I am seeing a lot of beautiful turquoise pieces made into beaded necklaces and even bracelets right now but beaded necklaces are available in a huge array of colors by using various different stones like rubies, sapphires, emeralds and more. These beautiful pieces make the perfect addition to any outfit that you add them too and I love that you can dress them up and dress them down to wear casually. Beaded necklaces make the perfect layering pieces too!

Gemstone Jewelry

There is nothing I love more than beautiful gemstone jewelry pieces and in the Spring & Summer months it is all about beautiful pops of color. Finding the perfect pops of color to add to your summer wardrobe is easy with beautiful pieces of jewelry that include your favorite gemstones. You can choose to stick to one color when styling your outfit, or you can choose add a rainbow of shades to mix up your look. These bright colors will look exceptional with a crisp white top and t shirt or even a classic back top or dress.

Dainty Jewelry

I love beautiful dainty minimalistic jewelry pieces in the summer months too. I am talking dainty necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and even dainty watches. They are subtle when adding to your outfit and provide that perfect pop of sparkle when wearing them. For me this year….. it is all about a beautiful dainty watch to wear with my outfits as it looks so pretty…. almost bracelet like all while providing me with a timepiece to keep me on track with my day.

Pendant Necklaces

My last must have jewelry staple that everyone needs for summer is a gorgeous pendant necklace. I love this necklace in a beautiful yellow gold as there is just something about a beautiful gold pendant necklace against your skin in the summer months that screams summer. It looks amazing with a crisp white shirt, jean shorts and flips flops or small white sneakers and truly will have you looking like a million bucks. This is the piece I will be investing in this year as I have been wanting one with a beautiful pendant to wear with my summer dresses and more.
