24 Summer Jewelry to Pack for Your Next Vacation

Resort dressing has a different look and feel than everyday summer style. Let’s face it: Going on vacation is the perfect excuse to don dreamy, destination-appropriate fashion, like a dreamy caftan, a tropical evening bag, or a pair of raffia-heel sandals. It’s also the perfect time to take advantage of the playful summer capsules and resort collections the designer offers each season. And there’s no shortage of brands whose entire existence depends on dressing us up in great vacation attire.

But the easiest way to pull off a vacation look is to wear summer jewelry that instantly makes you feel like you’re in heaven (even if you’re not). Find handmade and artisanal baubles to transform any ordinary summer outfit into an extraordinary holiday look. We call it resort jewelry, and the genre includes artistic statement necklaces made of wood charms, beads, macrame lace, or neutral stones strung on textile cords. For holiday earrings, consider super dangle earrings accented with earthy rattan, wood and shells that pay homage to the natural surrounding island scenery.

Seasonal, these pieces still feel super luxurious. For a jewel to wear on your next trip, check out our compilation of summer jewelry styles for the holidays below—the only thing missing is a pina colada!
