Summer Jewelry, Five Classic Jewelry Looks Inspired By Summer

I’m a list writer, through and through, and I think every pen-wielding organization guru loves a good ol’ bucket list. Making the list is one thing, but actually following through with what’s on it, is something else entirely!

Well this time I’m bound and determined to cross these puppies off one at a time, and have a blast doing so. When I’m finished at the office, it’s summer fun or bust! Here are the perfect summer jewelry looks.

Summer Jewelry Trends

Take a look at five of the activities that made a spot on the coveted list, and the jewelry looks inspired by them.

Whether you’re near the shore already, like here at the Bernie Robbins flagship store, or like to travel to a lake or ocean vacay spot, it doesn’t get more classic then a summer’s day at the beach. Turn on some tunes, frolic in the waves or get your tan on (but wear ample sunscreen please)!! Let that summer jewelry sparkle in the sun!
