Sparkle this Summer in These Top 12 Jewelry Pieces

The last month of any summer should look like this: Soaking up the sun, sipping a fruity cocktail, and wearing decadent jewels to the beachside soirée. As the long summer days stretch on, Whitewall is highlighting a collection of favorite baubles to don at the next backyard BBQ, including woven chokers and extra-large shell necklaces, show-stopping tourmaline and toi et moi rings, handcrafted enamel charms, and more from Porter Lyons, Dior, Prada, CeCe Jewelry, and others.

Porter Lyons

Diamond Gator Ring

Porter Lyons was founded by the New Orleans-based, GIA-certified fine jewelry designer Ashley Ann Lyons Porter in 2012. Over the years, the brand has gained inspiration from its surroundings, offering unique pieces—like protective talismans and bespoke engagement rings—made with ethically sourced gemstones and sustainable practices. Lyons’ family has lived in New Orleans since 1866, so it’s no surprise why critters and spooky details—from diamond gators to rings that double as poison boxes—appear in her collections.

Prada

Braided Choker Cord Necklace

Prada’s latest accessory, the Braided Cord Choker necklace, is one of our summer favorites. A colorful, woven piece, the cord style features a raised floral motif, embellished with the brand’s iconic metal triangle logo. With a lobster claw clasp to keep it closed, there’s no way you’d lose it to a dip in the ocean.

YEPREM

Golden Strada Stackable Ring

The Lebanese jewelry brand YEPREM has a gorgeous summer stunner named the Golden Strada Stackable ring. A stackable ring adorned with a combination of round and marquise diamonds that float above like a cloud, the piece features a bold, curvaceous band that snakes down the knuckle.

CeCe Jewelry

The Lemon for Purity Charm

The London-based designer Cece Fein-Hughes of Cece Jewelry is known for handcrafting gorgeous hand-enamelled jewelry. (Famously, she created a ring for Taylor Swift, featuring her cat, Benjamin Button, on its exterior.) On this miniature canvas, the designer highlights details from intimate tales to reflect love, remembrance, and celebration—all while being able to wear the work of art. For our summer pick, we’re loving The Lemon for Purity charm, a pendant that symbolizes clarity and resilience, crafted in 18k gold with champlevé enamel and star-set diamonds.

Pamela Zamore

Holos Earrings

Pamela Zamore’s latest collection, “Holos,” translates to “whole” in Greek, exploring the concept of two halves becoming one. Each piece in the collection—from a cocktail ring and an oblong pendant to a pair of hoop earrings—is available in two variations: as an interlocking design crafted in polished gold, or gold accented with pavé diamonds, which feature a delicate beaded pattern signature to the brand. We’re loving the sleek earrings.

LOEWE

Flor Earrings

LOEWE’s handcrafted bags are an artisan’s dream, but have you seen the brand’s jewelry line? A perfect Summer 2025 staple is its Flor earrings, a pair of playful sterling silver earrings shining with stems and petals, adorned with pavé crystals. In a gorgeous light yellow and green combination, the upright florals grab all the attention.

Julietta

Mykonos Necklace

Julietta’s first style, the Mykonos necklace, garnered the brand high acclaim from fashionistas and celebrities alike. It put the brand on the map for its handmade details: a string of baroque pearls topped with a large sculptural shell pendant. Now revisited season after season, the piece is a cult favorite, perfect for any hot summer night.

Casablanca

Rose Double Ring

Nearly all of Casablanca’s pieces are informed by rich storytelling from its founder Charaf Tajer’s interests and heritage. The romantic Rose Double ring is no different, inspired by LA’s subculture of tattoos. Crafted from hand-painted enamel and gold-plated brass, the piece features a rose stem that weaves into a link, bending around your fingers to make a double finger ring.

Maison H

Asante Green Tourmaline Ring

Founded in 2001 in Dubai by the South African jewelry designer couple Fatima Tayob and Hisham Mahomed, Maison H is a must-know brand for its stone selection, bespoke creations, and all-in-house approach to creating fine jewelry. From Gold & Diamond Park in Al Quoz, the brand imagines, creates, and markets all products, including remarkable pieces with collections of large, rare gemstones, limited pieces created for Ramadan, and items with a brand signature brushed gold for a unique textured look and feel. Our absolute favorite item from the brand is the two-pronged “Asanta” collection ring, similar to a toi et moi, but with three diamonds on one side and a triangular green tourmaline on the other.

Dior

Diorriviera Dior Cabinet d’Été Earrings

Part of Dior’s “Dioriviera” capsule collection are the Dior Cabinet d’Été earrings—a stunning design for anyone summering abroad. The style features a white resin pearl, complemented by a series of charms carved in gold-finish metal. Inspired by the collection’s undersea theme and the signature “CD” touch, the accessory is sure to stun the shores of Capri, Martha’s Vineyard, Malibu, and more.

Swarovski

Millenia Open Ring

This year, Swarovski is celebrating its 130th anniversary. With activations and exhibitions across the globe—including its “Masters of Light” show in Hollywood, following stop in Vienna, Milan, Shanghai, and Seoul—the brand is also staying strong is presenting a suite of summer gems to wear. Appropriate for a balmy holiday is its Millenia Open ring, a lovely toi et moi piece that features a pair of octagon-cut gemstones in purple and amber.

Martha Calvo

Rhapsody Bracelet

In 2006 from Miami, Martha Calvo began a jewelry line that embodied her sense of style—high-quality, but with a downtown edge. For the remainder of Summer 2025, we recommend gravitating toward her Rhapsody bracelet, a fun piece made up of glass beads and a 14k gold-plated lobster closure.
