Summer is finally here, and with it comes the return of light, airy outfits, plunging necklines, sun-kissed skin, and delicately styled hair. It’s the perfect season to let your creativity shine and make your jewelry stand out.

At Aurélie Joliff, we like to think of jewelry not as a mere accessory, but as an extension of your personality. This summer, layering is more in style than ever. But how can you combine pieces harmoniously without going overboard?

Here are our secrets and inspirations for creating the most beautiful summer jewelry sets, to wear from the beach right through the night.

1. Showcasing the Neckline: Playing with Necklace Lengths

Whether you’re wearing a bohemian dress or a slightly open white linen shirt, the neckline is the star of the summer. To highlight it, opt for a cascade of fine gold necklaces.

The golden rule: vary the lengths and textures so that each piece stands out on its own.

• The choker: Start with a thin piece that sits close to the neck, such as a delicate chain or a design adorned with small colored pearls to add a fresh touch like our Polaris necklace.
• The middle layer: Add a textured piece with intricate links or a mid-length necklace featuring a chiseled pattern, a signature of our vintage-inspired collections.
• The long necklace or Grigri: finish with a longer chain featuring a statement pendant (a sun medallion, a geometric motif, or a semi-precious stone like turquoise or mother-of-pearl) that will catch the summer light.

Our style tip: Be sure to space your necklaces about 2 to 3 centimeters apart to prevent them from tangling and to create the perfect layered look.

2. Accessorizing Your Wrists: The Jingle of Bangles and Bracelets

In summer, our arms are bare and bathed in light. Layering bracelets adds a gypset and decidedly sunny touch to any look.

For a successful look:

• Mix textures: pair the elegant rigidity of our engraved bangles with the fluidity of our chain bracelets.
• Play with thicknesses: pair a bolder, more graphic cuff with two or three very thin bracelets.
• The color detail: don’t hesitate to incorporate touches of enamel or semi-precious stones (lagoon blue, emerald green, mother-of-pearl white) to echo the colors of the ocean and vacation.

As you move, your bracelets will jingle delicately the perfect sound of carefree summer!

3. Spotlight on Your Face: Our Stunning Designer Earrings

Whether pulled back into a loose bun, styled into a bohemian braid, or simply swept by the sea breeze, your hair takes a back seat this summer to the beauty of your ears. Our earring collections are designed to illuminate your profile, capture the low-angled light of sunsets, and enhance your facial features.

Whether you prefer understated elegance or statement pieces, our designs cater to every taste:

• Sun-inspired hoop earrings: This season’s must-have, our fine gold-chiseled hoops offer irresistible retro charm and instantly elevate a simple outfit.
• Dangle earrings: Adorned with enameled resins in vibrant shades (lagoon blue, emerald green, terracotta) or suspended from beautiful faceted natural stones, they sway gracefully with every step you take.
• Graphic stud earrings: For those who prefer a delicate look, our small, chiseled studs and minimalist earrings adorn the earlobe with a subtle yet intensely elegant touch of light.

4. Your Hands in the Sun: Layering Rings

Tanned hands, a manicured set… Your fingers deserve some bling, too! When it comes to rings, layering just requires a bit of balance to stay comfortable day-to-day.

• Mix and match: Wear a statement ring with a beautiful semi-precious stone or a bold geometric design on your index or middle finger. On the other fingers, slip on delicate, twisted, or beaded rings.
• Don’t forget the knuckles: for a decidedly boho-chic look, add a small, delicate ring to the second knuckle. Guaranteed to make a statement.

Let yourself be charmed by our collection of high-end fashion rings to brighten up all your summer looks.

Aurélie’s Tips for Caring for Your Jewelry in the Summer

Since summer often means swimming and sunscreen, don’t forget to take good care of your precious fine gold jewelry. To keep it shining season after season, we recommend removing it before swimming in the ocean or pool and waiting until your sunscreen or perfume is completely dry before putting it back on. Just give it a quick wipe with a soft cloth at the end of the day, and it’ll be ready to shine again the next day!
