Summer is the season to let your jewelry shine.
With warm weather and lightweight fashions, summer is a perfect chance to show off your favorite jewelry pieces. Brightly colored pieces are one of my favorite summer trends because they add vibrance and enhance a neutral look. Rich colored gemstones add a romantic feel to a summer night. You can never go wrong with ocean-inspired pieces since it’s all about the beach in June, July, and August. And finally, rose gold has a natural warmth that reminds me of a setting sun with its pink and gold tones. These wonderful jewelry stores in the Hamptons will help put a smile on your face, all while giving back to several meaningful charities.

Susan Nieland

Susan collects beach stones along the coastal shores of The Long Island Sound and all over the East End. For many years the collection was featured exclusively at Barneys New York.
