The sun-drenched days of summer are here, and we’re soaking them up while wearing our favourite sustainable jewellery. We love switching up our jewellery rotation for each season, and for the golden days of summer, we’re inspired by pieces that glow, glisten and last a lifetime.
Read on to discover our favourite sustainable summer jewellery pieces and how to style them for every summer soireé.
Our favourite summer jewellery pieces
Sun shapes
Like florals for spring, sun shapes aren’t groundbreaking, but we simply can’t resist jewellery pieces inspired by the star that warms our summer days. Our Bloom collection was created in ode to the beauty found in nature around us, and many of the pieces were shaped by the sun. Go bold with our Silver Large Sun Earrings and Silver Statement Sun Necklace, or for a daintier love letter to the sunshine, discover our 9ct Gold Tiny Sun Charm Necklace and Sunburst Studs.

Anklets for sandal season
After patiently waiting for warmer days, our anklets are now out of our jewellery boxes, and we couldn’t be happier. Sandal season means you can wear glistening golden tones from head to toe (or ankle). We adore a simple style that you don’t need to take off, like our 9ct Gold Hayseed Chain Anklet; a subtle staple that unexpectedly catches the light in the most beautiful way - wear it day to night, beach to bar, all season long.
Glistening lab-diamonds
For a sparkle that rivals the sunlit ripples of the sea on a summer day, bring lab-grown diamond jewellery into your rotation. Diamonds aren’t just for special occasions; they’re perfect for adding a gentle glisten to your everyday, and our new lab diamond studs do just that. Designed to celebrate life’s milestones, moments or simply yourself, these dainty studs sparkle as they catch the sunlight, quietly adding something special to your summer days.

Solid metal summer staples
You want to be confident your jewellery is comfortable to wear, and able to withstand elements like UV rays, sun-protecting products, and sea water that come into contact with your skin throughout summer. Avoiding plated pieces and opting for high-quality, solid gold or silver jewellery is essential to ensure your earrings, necklaces, rings, and anklets retain their shine all summer long (and beyond!).
Everything we make at Wild Fawn is made from either recycled solid gold or sterling silver, making them suitable for every summer moment.

How to style your jewellery for summer
For golden hour in the city
Being based in London ourselves, we know there’s nothing better than enjoying golden hour in the city, grabbing al fresco dinner and drinks with friends at the end of a long summer day. For these moments, choose pieces that’ll look buttery and bright as the sun sets, like your favourite solid gold rings, sun-shaped studs and simple gold bracelets.
For beach days
Choose lightweight, dainty, solid gold jewellery to add some golden goodness to your beach day. Stack up your ears with huggies and everyday studs, layer chains and sun-stamped necklaces, and pair with a matching anklet for a beautiful beach jewellery combination.
For summer birthday celebrations
If you’re a summer baby, celebrate another year around the sun with eye-catching bold shapes. Think statement earrings, a chunky bangle or a statement pendant necklace, accompanied by daintier pieces to add balance to your look.
For your summer graduation
For a summer graduation stack, choose jewellery that makes you feel special, proud and confident as you celebrate your achievements. Nothing says ‘special’ quite like diamonds, and when you choose lab-grown ones that haven’t harmed the planet or its people, they’re a perfect ethical choice for adding a quiet sparkle to the occasion. Whether your diamond jewellery is a long-term favourite or a graduation gift from a loved one, wear with pride as you celebrate!
