The Best Jewelry for Spring & Summer 2026 — What We're Wearing
Spring and summer 2026 are here — and with the first warm days, what we wear changes. We've gathered our favorites into five categories: statement studs for bright sun, colorful stones that pick up your outfit, dainty necklaces for layering, beaded bracelets for festivals, and adjustable statement rings.
The best thing about Lundholm jewelry in summer: it's all waterproof, hypoallergenic and made from premium stainless steel with PVD gold plating. Which means you can take it to the pool, the sea, the sauna, a festival or a sunny terrace without it discoloring or irritating your skin. No more taking your jewelry off before you swim.
We've split the selection into five categories: gold-tone statement studs, summer color stones, dainty necklaces for layering, beaded bracelets for the festival or the beach, and adjustable rings with natural stones.
At a glance — our 4 summer favorites
1. Statement studs — for bright sun & short hair
In summer a lot of women wear their hair up or short — and that calls for the right earring. Sol chunky hoops are our top pick this summer: sculptural gold-tone at 2 cm (0.8 inch), light in weight but big in presence. Mae has a hollow dome design that stays airy, and the Aukje flower is for anyone who wants to make a real statement — perfect for summer parties.
Statement studs summer 2026 — 4 favorites
Which stud suits which hairstyle?
Hair up or short: Aukje or Mae — bigger pieces that won't get lost against your skin. Long loose hair: Sol or Marguerite — smaller pieces that won't tangle. With a bold blouse or dress: go smaller (Sol, Marguerite). With a minimalist white summer look: go bigger (Aukje, Mae) to add character.
2. Summer color stones — green, blue, pink, lapis
The big trend for spring/summer 2026: colorful stones instead of neutral cubic zirconia. Emerald-toned green, blue-green amazonite, deep blue lapis lazuli, soft pink rose quartz — stones that bring color to your outfit without going overboard. Our Aurelia earrings and the matching Aurelia necklace both use the same green cubic zirconia — instant set vibes.
Summer color stones — 4 favorites
Which stone with which outfit?
White linen + green Aurelia: the ultimate Mediterranean vibe. A summer dress in cream or beige + pink Maud: soft and feminine. Blue denim + the Lapis Lazuli ring: quiet contrast without shouting. Don't combine 3 different stones at once — two at most, and in the same color family (green Aurelia + amazonite Sophia, for example).
3. Dainty necklaces — for layering or solo
Summer is layering season: several fine necklaces at different lengths look beautiful above a low-cut top or a bandeau bikini. Our most requested dainty necklaces under EUR 25: the Lovez heart necklace, Lovez in silver-tone, and the Mathilde bow necklace (EUR 19.95). For a layered look: pair 1 dainty chain with 1 statement pendant (such as Aurelia or Maud).
Dainty necklaces — 4 favorites for layering
How do you layer 2-3 necklaces?
Rule 1: different lengths (such as 40 cm, 45 cm and 50 cm, or roughly 16, 18 and 20 inch) so they don't overlap. Rule 2: one statement pendant at most — keep the rest dainty, with a small pendant or none at all. Rule 3: keep everything in the same metal tone. Our suggestion: the Mathilde bow (EUR 19.95) as the bottom layer + the Lovez heart (EUR 21.95) in the middle + the Aurelia green pendant (EUR 33.95) as the statement — EUR 75.85 in total for a complete layering stack.
4. Beaded bracelets — for the festival, the vacation, or a summer evening
Festivals + vacation = beaded bracelets. Lundholm has 4 series that each come in several colors, perfect for stacking on one wrist. All waterproof, so jumping into the sea is no problem. Take a look at our festival jewelry hub for the full festival collection and the vacation jewelry guide.

Stacking tip
Wear 3 to 5 bracelets on one wrist for festival vibes. Mix large (Floor) with smaller ones (Jada hearts, Tampere) and one metal piece such as the Yael bangle or the Faye chain bracelet to anchor the stack. For a beach vacation: go for light shades (Tampere beige, Clea white) so sunscreen shows up less on them.
5. Adjustable statement rings with natural stones
The Sophia ring is the highlight here — an adjustable statement ring with two real natural stones, in 6 different colors. No sizing stress thanks to the open shank construction, so it fits almost any finger. Our summer favorites: Amazonite (blue-green, ocean vibes), Lapis Lazuli (royal blue, statement), Rose Quartz (soft pink, romantic) and Red Agate (warm earth tones).
Sophia adjustable rings — 4 summer colors
Which Sophia for which skin tone?
Cool skin (bluish veins): Lapis Lazuli or Amazonite — the blue shades match your tone. Warm skin (golden veins): Red Agate or Rose Quartz — warm stones bring out your glow. Neutral: all four work. Tip: wear 2 Sophia rings on neighboring fingers (Rose Quartz + Amazonite, or Lapis + Red Agate) for a more-than-one look.
Why Lundholm for summer jewelry?
Three reasons: waterproof (no taking your jewelry off for the sea, the pool or the shower), hypoallergenic (no reaction to sweat or salt water), and PVD gold plating (no discoloring from sunscreen or tanning oil). Our jewelry is premium stainless steel with a 2.5 micron PVD coating. Take a look at our hypoallergenic jewelry hub for everything that means in practice.
Shipping & tip
Order before 15:00 CET on a working day and we ship the same day. Jewelry ships worldwide for EUR 3.95, with free shipping from EUR 75. Delivery takes 3 to 7 working days within the EU and 5 to 14 working days outside the EU, so order well ahead of a vacation or a festival — the earlier the better. All women's jewelry comes in a gift-ready box with a gift pouch as standard — nice as a gift, nice for yourself.
Frequently asked questions — summer jewelry 2026
Can I swim wearing this jewelry?
Yes. All Lundholm jewelry is waterproof premium stainless steel. You can take it into the pool, the sea, the shower and the sauna without discoloration or damage. See our blog post on whether you can swim wearing jewelry for the full explanation.
Does the gold plating fade in the sun?
No. Our PVD gold plating (2.5 micron) is many times thicker than that of cheap gold-plated jewelry. Sun, sunscreen and tanning oil have no effect on the color. Our blog post on why your necklace discolors explains the difference.
Suitable for sensitive skin in summer?
Yes. All Lundholm jewelry is hypoallergenic and low in nickel — nickel release stays well below the European limit — including in contact with sweat, salt water and sunscreen.
What's your top favorite for spring/summer 2026?
The Sol chunky hoops (EUR 15.95) are our most requested summer stud. For anyone who wants more of a statement: the Aurelia green earrings + Aurelia necklace as a set. For festivals and vacations: the Tampere beaded necklace + a Jada bracelet stack.
How do I layer necklaces without them tangling?
Different lengths (40 cm, 45 cm and 50 cm), one statement pendant at most, and everything in the same metal tone. Mathilde + Lovez + Aurelia is a much-requested combination.
Can beaded bracelets go in the sea?
Yes — the stainless steel is waterproof, and the acrylic beads are water-resistant too. Just rinse them with fresh water after contact with salt water to remove any salt crystals.
