So, your significant other, sister, daughter, mom or your ride-or-die best friend has a summer birthday? Great! There are plenty of jewelry styles that suit the season, whether you’re going with vibrant colors, sparkling gemstones or summer-themed charms. Here are a few of our favorite summer birthday gift ideas perfect for any recipient.
birthstone jewelry to spark joy
Stumped on what type of stone to incorporate into summer jewelry? You can’t go wrong with a birthstone.
June birthstone: pearl
Pearls signify innocence and purity. They also represent power, making a pair of pearl earrings or a necklace the perfect summer birthday present for your favorite Geminis.
July birthstone: ruby
Rubies exude fiery passion, just like those born in the heat of summer. Choose a show-stopping ruby ring for your significant other, or pick a dainty ruby bracelet for your July baby.
August birthstone: peridot
Both fresh and lovely, the light green peridot gemstone evokes verdant meadows, fresh bouquets and summer lawns. Choose from pear-shaped peridot and diamond earrings for your spouse or yourself.
our favorite summer jewelry trends
If you don’t want to go the birthstone route and still need summer birthday jewelry ideas — or gifts for other special occasions — we’ve got you covered:
mixed metals
Not sure whether the giftee prefers silver or gold tones? Pick both! A pair of buzz-worthy diamond honeybee earrings adds a bit of whimsy to a birthday picnic or barbecue, and they feature mixed metals with a glimmer of diamond.
boho flair with intricate beads
Breezy, effortless styles encompass the boho aesthetic. We love this artistic use of malachite beads, each with unique striations, and a silver bar. Wear this boho style solo, or stack it with matching beads. Perfect to wear with flowy skirts, summer caftans, beach coverups, or shorts and a tee.
the bangles
Whether you’re looking for a more eclectic grouping of bracelets, or you want to add just a hint of elegant sparkle to your wrist, bangles are a timeless pick all summer long. Wedding parties, baby showers and after-work gatherings all call for easy-to-wear bangles, like this sterling silver diamond bracelet or the crystal-cut bangle with white gold finishes.
off the chain
Sometimes more is more. That’s when gold chain jewelry enters the chat. Add a Miami Cuban link chain as a statement necklace with a graphic tee or a button-up shirt to nail that streetwear casual style. Or layer thinner, box chain necklaces in varying lengths to create a sophisticated silhouette with a romper or jumpsuit.
quirky and unique charms for personalized touches
Summertime birthdays are the ideal time to add a personalized touch to any gift you’re giving to a loved one. Choose from a selection of cute summer jewelry charms that speak to your recipient’s interests or milestones in their lives.
