Summer Jewelry Packing List

Summer Jewelry Packing List

In Conversation: Laura’s Summer Jewelry Packing List

Get the jewelry answers you need now in our weekly rapid fire Q+A with BE’s Founder Laura Freedman. On the agenda this week: summer travel essentials for this year’s getaways

 

1) What is your “never-take-it-off” summer piece this year?

I just got the Opelia Eve sapphire evil eye necklace. I plan on wearing this all summer. 

 

2) Are there certain stones or materials in jewelry that really scream “summer” to you?

Turquoise, opals, moonstones, tourmalines, tiger’s eye, and rose quartz evoke the warmth of summer and vacation for me. Any piece that features a cool blue stone is a must have summer go-to, I’m loving sapphires this summer. I love layering beads with some charms, adding a pair of huggies and heading out the door!


3) What are your top 3 pieces (category or specific item) in your summer getaway packing list?

I always bring a hoop, layering necklaces and a statement ring that fit perfectly in our travel jewelry valet case.

 

4) How do you style one of these for an easy “day-to-night” look? 

Hoops literally look good with everything I’m wearing all summer from a tee and shorts to a breezy cocktail dress. They have a light, carefree feeling that fully embodies this easy season. 


5) Is there anything you’d advise against packing when it comes to jewelry that’s exposed to summer elements (sunscreen, salt water, etc.)?

Unfortunately, you always need to be thoughtful when taking care of your jewelry. Many stones like turquoise, opals, pearls, and all of my summer go-to’s can be delicate when it comes to chemicals. Having said that, you need to enjoy your pieces. Just try to avoid direct contact with sunscreen and products and make sure to rinse them in fresh water.
