Beach Jewellery: The Ultimate Waterproof Summer Jewellery Trend
By Ellie Dharamraj - 16th June 2026
As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, it’s time to refresh your summer look. In 2026, beach jewellery is all about effortless, ocean-inspired designs that not only complement your sun-soaked outfits but also stand up to the elements. Shell jewellery, colourful beads, and waterproof jewellery designed for all-day wear will be making waves this season. Whether you’re lounging by the sea or heading to a beachside dinner, finding the right jewellery for the beach is key to achieving that perfect summer aesthetic. But with salt water, sand, and sunshine in the mix, it’s essential to choose jewellery that lasts. From stainless steel pieces to semi-precious beaded styles, this guide will help you find the right combination of trend-led, durable, and stylish jewellery to wear this summer.
What jewellery should I wear to the beach?
Choosing the right beach jewellery involves two key considerations:
- Do you want your jewellery to be practical? - Pieces made from materials that can withstand salt water, chlorine, and humidity are essential if you're keen for your jewellery's shine to last. Opting for stainless steel or other waterproof metals is key to ensuring your jewellery isn't damaged by the elements and looks fabulous whether you're splashing on the shore or dressed up for dinner
- Do you want your jewellery to be fashionable? - Opting for beads, shells, pearls, and other quirky charms or colours can help you embrace a trend-led look that takes you from day to night effortlessly, and helps to transform your summer wardrobe from everyday attire to holiday slay
Luckily for you, you don't have to just pick one or the other, as our entire waterproof jewellery range is sleek, stylish, and packed with current trend considerations to allow you to look gorgeously glam and fashion-forward while also wearing pieces to last. This guide is on hand to break down which materials work best, what to avoid, and how to effortlessly style your summer jewellery for busy beach days.
Here are our some of our best picks for beach jewellery in 2026:
- For shell jewellery - our Stainless Steel Summer Shell Charm Bracelet in Gold is an elegant yet beachy statement piece and a real summer staple, adding a natural, coastal vibe to your look
- For anklets - this Stainless Steel Starfish Charm Pearl Beaded Anklet in Gold is the ultimate accessory, adding bohemian, ocean-inspired charm to your look
- For beaded bracelets - this Semi Precious Stone Blue Heart Bracelet in Silver provides a mix of elegance and beach-ready style, while creating a fun addition to your wrist stack
- For necklace layering - our Stainless Steel Starfish and Pearl Pendant Necklace in Gold is a delicate piece with an ocean-inspired pendant detail, taking it simply from a timeless accessory to a trend-led necklace ideal for stacking
- For waterproof rings - you'll never want to take this Adjustable Stainless Steel Wave Ring in Gold off. Sleek, understated, but effortlessly on-trend, this fully waterproof ring is ideal for wearing while splashing about in the waves
How do I style beach jewellery together?
For a trend-led, layered beach look, start with a shell pendant necklace as your focal point. Pair it with a beaded bracelet for a bohemian feel and finish with a set of waterproof rings and an anklet to tie everything together. Mixing textured metals with natural materials like pearls and beads creates the perfect balance of sophistication and playfulness.
For example, why not consider layering our Stainless Steel Pearl Fish Pendant Necklace in Gold with this Stainless Steel Double Layer Pearl Beaded Necklace? Tying the aquatic theme of the fish pendant necklace into another fishy piece like these Stainless Steel Fish Charm Hoop Earrings in Gold creates a fun, cohesive look that still screams ‘effortlessly beachy’. Adding in a selection of rings like this Stainless Steel Shell & Tail Adjustable Ring in Gold adds even more statement and intrigue, while this Stainless Steel Swirl Adjustable Ring in Gold can easily be stacked alongside.
What are the best materials for beach jewellery?
Durable materials are key for beach-accessorising. Find jewellery in materials that are resistant to corrosion, tarnishing, and general wear, such as these:
Stainless Steel - rust-resistant and able to withstand exposure to moisture and salt water
Gold-filled - a better alternative to gold-plated, this metal offers long-lasting wear
Titanium - incredibly strong and lightweight, ideal for active beachgoers
Silicone or resin - flexible and waterproof, ideal for more casual styling
How do I take care of waterproof jewellery?
Even waterproof jewellery needs proper care:
- Rinse with fresh water after swimming to remove salt or chlorine
- Store in a dry place to avoid unnecessary exposure to moisture
- Polish occasionally with a soft cloth to maintain shine

What jewellery is trending for this summer?
Shell Jewellery
A summer staple, pendants, earrings, and bracelets with shell emblems or details bring a natural, coastal feel to any look. These White Beaded Shell Drop Earrings are perfect for a more statement look, while these Pearl Clam Shell Stud Earrings in Gold are much more delicate and understated.
Layered chains
While chunky necklaces and stackable bracelets are an evergreen staple, the summer months tend to be favoured for excess stacking and layering. Why not try this Beige Rope Pull Cord Sun Face Pendant Necklace in Gold layered with our Stainless Steel Dual Link Chain Necklace in Gold?
Beads and pearls
Beaded jewellery adds a playful, boho feel, while pearls tend to offer a more timeless elegance. Mixing them together - like stacking this Semi Precious Beaded Sun Charm Bracelet in Gold with our Pearl and Molten Beaded Bracelet in Gold - is a great way to incorporate two sweet, summer styles in a laid-back, effortless way.
Choosing the right beach jewellery means balancing style with practicality. If you're planning to swim or be active, waterproof jewellery made from stainless steel, titanium, or gold-filled materials is the best choice. Whatever pieces you choose for your oceanic break, ensure you feel confident and stunning as you splash through the waves, and if your jewellery is waterproof, it'll give you one less thing to worry about.
