Summer is the season for outdoor events, from weddings to music festivals. Typically you will put together an outfit but need that last finishing touch that completes it and that is usually the delicate detail of jewelry. To help inspire you, here are some tips on how to style your jewelry for various summer occasions. 

First up, let's take a look at wedding accessorizing (with a peek at Katie's romantic wedding in the South of France!)

For a classic and elegant look, choose pieces that complement your dress without overpowering it. Our Pearl Necklace and Pearl Drop Earrings are perfect for adding a touch of sophistication. Pair them with the Hammered Band Ring for a simple yet stunning ensemble. The picture above you can see Katie's Mom, Dr. Ann Auburn, wearing the Pearl Hoops at a family wedding and Katie is donning a Hammered Band Ring for a subtle touch of gold in her ring party.

Just for fun, here are a few photos from Katie's romantic wedding at a chateau in the South of France. If you want love wedding details, feel free to check out the in depth blog Katie wrote recapping her France wedding here!

Now, for all those music festivals you'll be attending:

Festivals are the perfect opportunity to have fun with your jewelry. A layered look of the dainty gold pieces in your jewelry box is the perfect way to create a statement that doesn't overpower your look, but adds to it. Layered necklaces, like the Linked Necklace (as seen below on hit TV series Glee actress Becca Tobin for her Coachella Music Festival look), Beaded Coin Necklace and Rainbow Necklace, create a boho-chic vibe. Add some Beaded Heart Hoop for a playful touch.

For all those Sunset Beach Parties:

Keep it light and breezy with minimalistic pieces that won't weigh you down. Whether you're showing off that rockin' bod in a two piece bikini or layering up for sun protection here are the golden jewelry pieces we recommend to keep you shimmering:  for a casual yet stylish look the Little Dipper Necklace and Evil Eye Studs are ideal. Stackable rings like the Minimal Stack add a bit of flair without being too flashy and major plus point, we've already paired up three minimal rings that look gorgeous together to create this ring set, so you don't have to spend time deciding which ones to layer up. 

If you're heading on a European vacation this summer and need some inspiration on outfits, where to eat or where to hang, you can check out Katie's blog from her Italy and France Honeymoon.

From Brunch with Friends to Delicate Sophistication for your Date Night:

For a laid-back yet put-together look, mix and match dainty pieces. Try pairing the Mama Necklace with the Initial Studs and the Beaded Heart Ring for a chic and personalized style.

Looking for your jewelry to impress on date night with an elegant and eye-catching effect? The Baguette Necklace paired with Starburst Ear Crawlers creates a stunning combination. Complete the look with the Artist Face Ring for a unique touch.
