How to Style Jewelry for a Coastal Summer Look

There's something about summer that changes us. Less clothes, more bikinis, salty messy hair, tan lines that catch everyones attention, and for the cherry on top, chunky gold jewelry to compliment that feeling of summer. At Sola Nalu, our jewelry is designed to live in those moments. 

Gold Jewelry with White Dresses & Linen

Nothing feels more timeless and classy than gold jewelry against crisp white fabric. A simple white dress, an airy linen set, or even an oversized button down over a bikini, instantly feels elevated when paired with chunky gold accents. The contrast is what makes it so beautiful, soft, airy clothing with warm, heavy glowing metals. Chef's kiss!

Layering Jewelry for a Beach Look

There’s nothing sexier than pairing a minimalist swimsuit with heavy, soulful jewelry. When you're stripping down to a bikini, your jewelry becomes your outfit. It’s the ultimate expression of effortless, sun soaked luxury. 

To get that iconic, vintage European summers look, think about contrasting bare skin with heavily textured, organic metals. Here is how we love to style it on the sand:

Go Big Against Bare Skin: A tiny bikini demands a bold focal point. Opt for bold chunky jewelry- our Siren Song Bracelet paired with our Oyster Drop Earrings would be the perfect match.

The Vintage Ring: Don't leave your rings in your beach bag. Heavy, mismatched signet rings stacked on salty fingers look incredibly chic, giving off  "treasures collected over lifetimes of travel" vibes.

Organic Elements: Look for pieces that incorporate deep ocean hues. Our Riptide ring, and Paros Pearl Bracelet would be an ultimate combo when going for this look. When these ocean toned, vintage looking pieces go against a fresh tan, it creates an irresistible, goddess-like contrast.

Final Thoughts

Summer style doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s about ease, light, and pieces that make you feel like your best self without effort.

That’s exactly what Sola Nalu is designed for—jewelry that moves with your life, your travels, and your most sun-filled moments.

Whether you’re at the beach, walking through a new city, or just chasing a bit of that endless summer feeling, the right pieces will always make it feel a little more magical.
