Summer is filled with sunshine, tan lines, and margaritas. While winter accessorizing can be pretty easy, tossing on a scarf or a long layer, summer tends to be a little trickier. As the months heat up, we look to shed clothes, not add more layers. With the change in climate, jewelry becomes the perfect way to accessorize our summer outfits. Fun summer colors invite the use of vibrant hues in your jewelry selections or making simpler choices to complement the bright color pops of warm weather wear. Gemstones with fun colors such as amethyst and turquoise bring a beach vibe to the summer while hues of amber and orange represent those long summer evening sunsets. There are always pearls, which never go out of style, and perfectly complement that summer outfit. From barbecues to baseball games, fireworks to beach vacations, summer holds a special place in our memory and our year. Here are a few of our favorite pieces to accessorize your summer wardrobe.
