2022 Summer Jewellery Inspiration

Sustainable Summer Jewellery Trends 2022


Summer is the season to get playful with your outfits, adding colour and charm with eye-catching accessories. It's all about dopamine dressing to express enthusiasm and optimism for the year ahead — and the jewellery we wear is no exception.

While minimal jewellery never goes out of fashion, maximalist style is having a moment. This feel-good jewellery boosts your style as well as your mood. Pick your pieces right and you can wear them all day every day, no matter the season. Silver jewellery is trending this season, although everyday gold pieces will never go out of style.

For Summer, we're seeing a shift towards bright, bold statement jewellery mixed in with barely-there chains, delicate charms, and raw crystals. A mix of new favourites and modern classics to wear alongside your existing wardrobe. This season is all about going bold, layering your jewellery, and wearing all your favourites as much as possible.

These are the hottest jewellery trends of the Summer that will elevate your style in 2022. We've put together a Summer Jewellery Edit with our seasonal favourites and the trending best sellers. From subtle sparkles to bold statements, we've got you covered. Shop our range of sustainable jewellery, designed to be worn every day and cherished for years — regardless of the trends.

Simple chains are popular this Summer but have always been a classic jewellery piece. If you want to wear the trend is a sustainable way, opt for barely-there chains you can wear everywhere. Wear them alone for a subtle outfit addition, or layer them up for a bold look.
