Accessorising For Summer: Embracing Enamel

If you’re looking for an easy way to update your wardrobe for the spring/summer trends of bright juicy colors and ethnic/boho chic, enamel jewelry is the way to go. Since it doesn’t entail gemstones or even real gold/silver, inexpensive incarnations of any enameled piece will look just as fab as their pricey counterparts. That said, if you’d prefer to splurge, there are a variety of options available.

To add a burst of glam to an otherwise simple outfit, try this gorgeous Rachel Reinhardt turquoise enamel “San Tropez dome ring. I’m also a big fan of bracelets and bangles; for a tough of rockstar glam try this Electric Blue studded bangle from AV Max.

My splurge piece would be Matthew Williamson Africa enamel bangle (pictured above); the delicate pattern is a great contrast to the size of the bangle itself.

Alternately, this mandala-influenced pendant from Isaac Manevitz for Ben-Amun is just as eye-catching and the price tag isn’t quite as high.

And finally, for a selection of enamel jewelry that encompasses all trends and simply cannot be rivaled, check out the J. Crew jewelry collection. I found so many gorgeous pieces at affordable prices I couldn’t pick just one, so you’ll have to check them out for yourself!
