What is hot in jewelry for the summer?
I love long necklaces for the summer. Light looking, yet important. My favorite is a rare collection of mixed rose cuts surrounded by little micro set frames where the shorter necklace nests with the longer one. It is very ethereal and can be dressed up or down. It has amazing presence, looking both important and yet very wearable.
Another favorite of mine is a long diamond bezel set necklace mixed with bezel set emerald cuts. This is also something that is unusual. I would then put on a wide diamond open link cuff. Since the links are opened, it is the perfect look for the hot summer. Add a white croco strap watch to the other hand for the perfect summer look.
Other summer styles usually have fresh soft colors: Blue topaz, lemon citrine, pink tourmaline, or all pale shades of sapphire. You can always mix pieces with color and classic diamond pieces.

Tribal influences, contemporary floral prints, Tees with a message, athletic wear that goes from daytime to nighttime are what’s trending for summer. Although, as Floridians our extreme winter consists of sun drenched days and balmy nights, we too grow tired of our “wintery” wardrobes. Time to change the color palette to nudes, dusty pink and coral. Go for the classic look: A flowing linen pant coupled with a tank in pastels and bright colors, along with a linen blouse. Add a long chain with a vintage coin pendant and you have an easy summer look.
Upscale athletic wear has emerged as one of the strongest summer trends because of its versatility. Together with a message Tee, vegan leather or suede top, just grab your denim jacket and you have the perfect combination of practical and edgy. While statement necklaces still are the perfect pairing with a white Tee, those who are in the know are choosing to “cuff up” – whether it’s a wide gold statement cuff or leather embellished, they give attitude to any summer top.
