This summer you'll want jewellery with starfish, palm trees and sardines

By

In the summer, I transform into a completely different person when it comes to jewelry. Where I sometimes forget for days in winter that I even have earlobes – let alone that something is hanging from them – I want to dangle something in my ears every day as soon as the sun starts to shine even a little. Statement earrings? Yes, please. Rings on every finger (as long as my nails cooperate, otherwise I prefer not to focus too much on my hands). Oh, and a shell necklace is really a must in my suitcase when I go on vacation, because without it, is it really a vacation?

And then H&M came out with their new jewelry collection. Seahorses in your ears, palm trees dangling as if you are a tropical island yourself, starfish wrapping around your wrist like bracelets, and sardines curling around your neck. It’s cheerful, it’s summery, and it’s exactly the mood you want to take with you to your next vacation destination – or just to the office and a terrace in your own city, of course.

I have gathered my favorites from the collection for you, perfect for sprucing up any basic summer look (think: white linen blouse, denim shorts).

If you’re new to the statement earring world and it feels a bit ‘too much’, share a pair with your best friend. You both wear one of the striking pendants, and combine it in the other ear with a small hoop or minimalist stud. This way, it’s just a bit more subtle, but still a fun statement.

Make your sea statement while you still can.
