Where are you going this summer? The Hamptons? Europe? Around the world? As you book your trips and plan your wardrobe, eventually you’ll find yourself staring at your jewelry box and probably making some hasty last-minute decisions.
At F. Silverman Jewelers, we believe your vacation jewelry should be chosen with intention. It’s more than just something we wear—it’s something we carry like a quiet extension of ourselves; part of your identity. So, as you prepare for your summer escape, we invite you to consider now: which pieces are you taking with you?
Here, we offer thoughtful guidance for selecting the right summer jewelry based on the nature of your trip—so you can feel at home in your skin, wherever you are.
For the Seaside: Light, Layered, and Lived-In
A beach vacation calls for ease. If you are headed to the beach this summer, your jewelry might take a backseat to your bikinis. The right stack might get you through the entire holiday.
Simplicity is best if salty sea breezes are in your summer plans:
- Small hoops or classic studs offer just enough polish without demanding attention.
- Layered chains or a delicate anklet move with you from beachside strolls to breezy dinners.
- Consider materials that are gentle yet resilient—something that can handle the rhythm of the tides, just like you.

For the Cruise: Versatile Jewelry for Days at Sea and Nights of Celebration
A cruise isn’t one vacation—it’s several, all in one. One moment you’re stepping off the ship into a sun-drenched port; the next, you’re dressing for a formal dinner beneath the sparkle of chandeliers. With so many settings to consider, your jewelry should be versatile, elevated, and thoughtfully selected.
- Daytime calls for ease. Think lightweight gold hoops,classic summer chain necklaces, or your signature ring—pieces that feel comfortable for strolling seaside markets or boarding a tender to shore.
- Evenings onboard often bring a touch of formality. Here, you might reach for a chandelier earring, a statement necklace, or a refined bracelet to complement your dinner attire.
- And because storage is limited, it’s helpful to choose a few key pieces that can transition between settings—one or two that shine, a few that ground you.
Summer in the City: Refined Jewelry with Chic Edge
Hot summers mean less clothes and more jewelry. And city travel demands your most sophisticated looks. To navigate any city in style, look for:
- Large, lightweight earrings that will stand out but won’t weigh you down.
- Offset summer fabrics with a sculptural summer bracelet or artful cuff
- For day-to-evening versatility, a delicate chain or long pendant necklace dresses up even your most casual outfits.
For the Mountains or Countryside: Natural, Thoughtful, Enduring
Outdoors, life simplifies. The pace changes. And your jewelry should echo that—quietly beautiful, never fussy. These pieces feel as right on a trail as they do by the firepit:
- Organic or nature-inspired forms—like softly hammered metals or earth-toned stones—that echo the landscape without feeling thematic.
- Tiny studs are enough to catch the light without drawing the eye.
- A reliable watch—perhaps one you’ve worn for years—keeps you connected, even off the grid.
