By: Harris Botnick 

Never one to follow the pack, at Worthmore Jewelers we pride ourselves on bringing our customers the funky, gorgeous side of jewelry that brings out true individuality.

Here are some of our top picks for this summer:

Rough Around the Edges: Switch up the sparkle with a little natural texture. Whether you go for a rough diamond or a less expensive druzy stone, the appeal in these pieces comes from the free spirit they embody. Hardly your typical princess or emerald cut, rough stone jewelry lends great texture and edge to add an element of fun to your wardrobe.

Anything But Simple: We’re embracing the chunky, deeply colored side of jewelry this summer, with pieces that put the finishing touch on simple summer outfits. Anything from multi-tiered necklaces to thick, carved bracelets qualify in this category. The trick to nailing this look? Look for neutrals with one major color accent, necklaces with a collar-like structure, and tribal flare to add that summery, rebellious air.

Shapes, shapes, and shapes: Whether you prefer the sun, moon, or even an octopus’s wild tentacles, plan to charge full ahead in your support of shapes for this summer’s jewelry. Pick anything that has a symbolic meaning to you, and use the design for necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. With the summer solstice only a few weeks behind us, we’re embracing star shapes in pendants, rings, and charms.

Knuckle Sandwich: Stacking rings have been hot for several seasons, but this summer, try a first knuckle ring. Stick to simpler pieces for this trend, like a dainty rose gold band on a couple of fingers.
