Statement Necklaces: The Must-Have Jewelry Trend for Summer 2026

Summer 2026 is all about making a statement—and jewelry is leading the way.

This season, the biggest trend isn’t about layering dozens of delicate chains. Instead, fashion is embracing bold, expressive necklaces that combine color, texture, and handcrafted details. From glossy resin beads to twisted cords, Murano glass hearts, and playful coastal charms, statement necklaces are becoming the finishing touch that transforms even the simplest summer outfit.

Whether you’re packing for a beach vacation, heading to brunch, or dressing up your favorite linen dress, these are the necklace styles defining the season.


Glossy Resin Bead Necklaces

Oversized resin beads continue to be one of this summer’s standout jewelry trends. Their glossy finish, vibrant colors, and lightweight feel make them easy to wear from day to night.

Inspired by carefree days along the Mediterranean coast, our statement bead necklaces bring effortless color and personality to every look. Pair them with crisp white shirts, breezy dresses, or simple tanks to instantly elevate your outfit.

Twisted Cord Necklaces & Murano Glass Hearts

Twisted cord necklaces are having a major moment this season. Their soft texture and relaxed elegance create the perfect balance between casual and sophisticated.

Our Corallo, Mavi, and Siyah necklaces pair beautifully twisted cords with handcrafted Murano glass hearts, creating pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary. Rich color, artisan craftsmanship, and modern styling come together in necklaces designed to become everyday favorites.

Coastal-Inspired Charms

Coastal jewelry continues to inspire designers, but this season it’s being reimagined with a more refined approach.

Our Granchio and Lisca necklaces celebrate the sea through playful crab and fish-inspired charms suspended from elegant twisted cords. They capture the joy of summer while remaining sophisticated enough to wear long after vacation ends.

The Starfish Statement

Nature-inspired jewelry remains one of Summer 2026’s strongest trends, bringing a sense of effortless elegance to everyday style.

Our Nerina necklace captures this coastal inspiration with a beautifully detailed starfish pendant suspended from a soft twisted cord. Available in Seafoam and Olive, these versatile hues reflect the colors of the sea and sun-washed landscapes, making them easy to pair with everything from crisp white linen to earthy neutrals.

Lightweight, playful, and thoughtfully designed, Nerina adds a subtle seaside charm that’s perfect for both everyday wear and summer getaways.
