The Nautical Jewelry Trend Feels So Right For Summer

After dealing with the gloomy, especially rainy spring weather, you deserve a relaxing summer vacation — one with beautiful sunny weather and a refreshing pool. But if you’re still weeks (or months) away from your much-deserved getaway? Well, you can at least start dressing like you’re at the beach with the season’s nautical jewelry trend — think fish pendant necklaces, seashell-shaped studs, and more summery gems. Namesake jewelry Alex Monroe seconds this notion, telling TZR, “If you’re not by the sea, nautical jewelry is the perfect reminder of those lovely lazy days.”
Describing himself as a keen sailor, Monroe has plenty of design inspiration while out at sea. “I always love anything with seafaring imagery of boats and ships,” the creative explains. Much like many other jewelry brands on the market, Monroe first dabbled in the nautical look with seashell baubles but has since expanded his offerings. This season, the London-based label introduced everything from seahorse earrings to whale-adorned rings.
Nautical jewelry made waves on the Spring/Summer 2025 runways as well. Chloé, naturally, led the charge, sending models down the runways dripping in beachy seashell necklaces and earrings. Roberto Cavalli, meanwhile, showed a chunky gold necklace with a larger-than-life swordfish attached.
Refresh your summer accessory rotation with a nautical piece (or two). Ahead, find 10 beach-ready options.
