With summer in full swing, it's time to pull out all of your warm-weather favorites, from flowy dresses to futuristic sunglasses. Jewelry stands on its own, however, when it comes to pieces that can truly make or break your outfit. With beach days and vacations ahead, it's not surprising to see that one of jewelry's biggest trends is sea-inspired jewelry.

Spring 2024's most powerful runways boasted a host of ocean-inspired jewelry, from Schiaparelli's 3-D crab necklaces to Collina Strada's starfish chokers. Other brands soon followed suit with luxury and affordable labels like Oscar de la Renta, Kendra Scott, J.Crew and Zara including statement shell jewelry in their seasonal offerings. Last year's mermaidcore trend served as a precursor to society's current obsession with sea-inspired accessories with stars like Halle Bailey and Blake Lively showing their approval.

From 2000s-style shell necklaces to pearl rings, there are many ways to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe as often as you please. Pearl earrings add the right amount of chic to your office looks, while a colorful coral necklace is the perfect statement for your next tropical getaway. Ahead, we've rounded up the best seashell and oceanic jewelry across all aspects of the category that are sure to elevate your summer wardrobe. Keep scrolling to shop our favorite picks to channel your inner Ariel this season.
