Summer Jewellery Guide Content overview
Soft Summer Jewellery Colours
This summer colour palette is characterised by delicate, blue-based tones echoing a calm breeze on a warm evening. Understated yet elegant, rose pink is a signature soft summer jewellery colour, alongside lilac, dusty blue, and sage green. Metals with a silver, rose gold, or antique gold finish that emit a subtle sheen all perfectly complement these shades.
Styling Soft Summer Tones
The secret to creating an effective jewellery capsule wardrobe in soft summer hues is to either focus on a single shade or seek cohesive colour blends. Embrace the pale pink summer jewellery trend by teaming our signature Swan bracelet with a Cosmopolitan watch adorned with rose gold finish details, or keep it simple with the round cut white crystals in our dazzling Una Angelic set.
Cool Summer Jewellery Colours
A refreshing choice, the cool summer palette features more saturated hues alongside colours found in nature. Also known as true summer, jewellery colours found in this palette include lavender, navy blue, rosy red, and berry pink. When it comes to metals, stick to settings with a silver, platinum, or white gold finish to deliver a subtle shimmer.
Styling Cool Summer Tones
The cool or true summer palette invites experimentation. Play with Gema’s pink and red tonal hoop earrings or pair a navy and silver finish Idyllia pendant with a minimal Mesmera bracelet. For a bolder take on seasonal style, make a statement with an Idyllia strawberry pendant, charm or cocktail ring. These distinctive pieces are dipped in resin to produce an irresistible glow.
Light Summer Jewellery Colours
The quintessential light summer capsule wardrobe will feel airy and bright, even in a heatwave. The palette is defined by ethereal shades. Pale pink, cornflower blue, mint green, and buttercream yellow shine in gentle, low contrast combinations, especially when set in metals with a sophisticated, silver finish, while soft white captures the light, illuminating summer looks.
Styling Light Summer Tones
Pastel colours and refined silhouettes effortlessly elevate a light summer capsule wardrobe. Styling choices should be subtle but can still reflect your individuality; add character to classic designs like our Matrix Tennis bracelet with exquisitely crafted Swarovski Charms or layer pink and clear crystal necklaces to reflect the summer light.
Get Creative with Summer Colours
Whether you’re exploring your preferred palette for the first time or feel ready to build a summer capsule wardrobe, the most important rule to follow this season is to let creativity reign. Summer jewellery trends and colours can provide inspiration, but how you choose to style each piece is an exercise in self-expression. Choose designs that are rooted in craftsmanship and superlative savoir-faire to ensure you can wear them to light up your looks for seasons to come.
Frequently asked questions
Summer Colour Palettes FAQs
What is a light summer colour palette?
A light summer colour palette is defined by soft pastels and cool tones. Colours found in this palette include pale pink, mint green, cornflower blue, and buttercream yellow. Whether styled solo or gently blended, light summer shades shine brightest when combined with silver, platinum, and white gold.
How should I accessorise with jewellery this summer?
This summer, accessorise your looks with joyful jewellery bursting with energy. Get creative with candy colours, juicy fruit motifs, and charms packed with personality. Designed to supercharge your favourite summer styles, playful pieces and rivers of full cut crystals will radiate confidence come rain or shine.
What is a true summer colour palette?
If you are considered a true summer, this means you suit serene, muted tones of purple, red, and blue. Rather than featuring vivid hues, the true summer colour palette favours medium intensity shades like lavender, raspberry, and periwinkle blue as well as colours found in nature during the sunshine season.
What is a soft summer colour palette?
Characterised by grey and blue-based undertones, the soft summer palette is known for its cool shades of pink, purple, blue, and green. Any brightness or warmth should be avoided, including yellow gold, but dusty rose, lilac, sage green, and powder blue all typically complement soft summers.
Are true summer and cool summer the same?
When researching colour palettes, you may find that the terms true summer and cool summer are used interchangeably. While they have many similarities and are almost identical, a true summer can usually wear more saturated shades than those who are better suited to cool summer shades.
Is red a summer colour?
Red is a popular summer colour thanks to its inherent vibrancy and the stunning contrasts it creates when teamed with yellow, green or purple. Also seen in seasonal fruits like strawberries and cherries, shades of red can be more versatile when they have cool, pink undertones.
Is navy a summer colour?
While traditionally associated with the colder months, navy can be a striking summer colour especially for those who suit the cool summer palette. A softer alternative to black and a sophisticated choice to pair with clear crystals, navy also complements true summer shades like berry and lavender.
