The Right Resort Jewelry for Any Resort You Choose

Since you started planning your resort vacation you've had dreams about the pool, the spa and the big colorful drinks. You've also had nightmares about what to pack. An outfit for every situation just isn't possible, at least not within the laws of physics. So before you start jumping up and down on your suitcase consider your accessories. The right accessories can reduce the number of outfits you need to bring. By mixing and matching jewelry you can completely change your look.

For instance our Triple Tahitian Wrap necklace can be worn poolside for evening cocktails or switched to a bracelet for a day on the links. Our Pelota Stackable Rings can be worn on a chain as a pendant. Or if you are feeling adventurous you can layer several necklaces to create a new look with the same pieces.

Which Resort Style Jewelry Should Make the Final Cut:

  • Choose items that are well made with sturdy clasps. You don't want to lose a cherished piece far from home.
  • Be sure to pack uncomplicated pieces as well, smooth cuff bracelets, stud earrings and simple necklaces you can wear during physical activities. If you're looking for the right go anywhere accessory our Faux Bois Wave Bangle Set is just the thing.
  • For casual daytime wear at a resort leather and stones are always preferable. Try artistic pieces that show your creative side. And if you wear a lot of white linen or other neutral tones add color with your jewelry. Our Crushed Cuff with Green Moss Agate is ideal for adding a splash of color.
  • Stick to the theme of the resort, tailor the jewelry for Maui to Maui and Aspen to Aspen.
  • Gold and pearls are classics for a reason. Treat them with care and remember to have high-priced items placed in the resort safe. 
Finally, choose at least one piece that would be too gaudy or unusual for your day-to-day style. Vacation is the perfect time to step outside of your comfort zone and try fun resort jewelry. Who knows you may discover a whole new side of yourself. For more result style inspiration check out our Beachy Resort Jewelry & Style board on Pintrest.

Montauk Pebble Necklace: A Claspable Memory

A picture can trigger memories, but it can't remind you of the texture, the feel of a place. Pame beach jewelry provides wonderful sensory reminders of the world's most reknowned coastlines.

Our Montauk Pebble Necklace shines like a lighthouse on rocky shores drawing attention to a trio of naturally contoured nuggets that link the necklace to its beautiful namesake. It is a casually chic piece that can be worn with jeans and a linen tunic top or with an airy summer frock.

What we love about Montauk
It's not miles and miles of white sand and azure water. We love those beaches too. But sometimes we want a rugged adventurous beach, a beach you can stroll wearing a warm sweater on a windy autumn day. Here is how the U.S. Geological Survey describes Montauk: "A walk along the beach provides an opportunity to examine a wide assortment of rock types in the beautifully wave-polished boulders and cobbles on the beach. Rocks consist of granite, gneiss, schist, and quartzite derived from the New England Highlands region.”
A Bit of Beach to Clasp and Unclasp 
The Montauk beaches are very popular with rock collectors who use the unique local stones to create scultures or to use as souvenirs in their homes and gardens. We wanted to capture the essence of Montauk and that special memory spark that can only come from the texture of a place. It’s our version of “Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.”
