Best Bead Jewelry for Summer: Earrings, Bracelets, Necklaces

The coastal-cool aesthetic was a defining jewelry trend last summer. But this year, we’re swapping seashell motifs and fishermen core styles for something more bohemian inspired: bead jewelry.

Beaded jewelry fits in seamlessly with the boho-chic revival that’s taking over the fashion world; and you can expect to see every cool girl you know rocking bead necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

Materials like colorful glass beads, freshwater pearls, jade, and gemstones provide these pieces with an earthy feel that’s perfect for summer. They also feel more laidback than sparkly cubic zirconia or modern metals, and when you’re out by the water, that’s exactly the vibe you want.

In terms of styling, it’s the more the merrier. Don’t be afraid to pair different textures and materials together. It’s this mixing and matching that will give your jewelry stack effortlessly cool appeal.

Whether you pair these pieces with breezy linen or sundresses, bead jewelry will be the biggest accessory trend of the summer.
