The worst feeling during the suffocatingly humid, sweltering summer heat is being weighed down with bulky layers and heavy metals. That's why we're lightening up our wardrobe with easy, breezy pieces—and we mean that both in the apparel and accessories sense. We took a style cue from our July cover girl Jessica Alba (the issue is on newsstands and available for digital download this week!), who not only graced our pages in summery one-pieces, but who accessorized with cool organic stones, like turquoise, dendritic opal, and dendritic quartz by jewelry designers including Kathleen Whitaker and Jamie Joseph.
And since we won't be able to hop on the next jet to an island on a whim, at least we can dress the part. We rounded up summery jewelry pieces that feature organic stones, bright colors, and fun motifs. Scroll through to shop our 12 favorites, below.
CVC STONES Necklace
We're obsessed with this masterpiece of a necklace. We love the four teeny-tiny diamonds embedded in this oval translucent stone—the perfect complement to any summer dress, matching set, or bikini.
AURÉLIE BIDERMANN Necklace
This is not your ordinary shell necklace—the hot pink shade packs a loud punch.
DELFINA DELETTREZ Ring
This could arguably be worn all-year round, but we love the blue-and-white colorway for right now.
JENNIFER MEYER Ring
Turquoise is one of the stones of the summer. The simple style makes this an everyday piece.
Kathleen Whitaker Earrings
These beautiful earrings are the same ones that Jessica Alba wore in our cover feature. Stunning.
Tiffany & Co. Bracelet
Channel a Southwestern look without being too literal with this dainty silver-and-turquoise piece.
