Best Beach Jewelry for Summer: Anklets, Chokers & Body Chains to Wear by the Water

Summer and jewelry go hand in hand — but not all jewelry is made for the beach. Between the salt water, sand, and sun, you need pieces that are as carefree as your vacation mood. Here's your ultimate guide to the best beach jewelry for summer, from anklets to belly chains.

Why Beach Jewelry Is Different

Beach jewelry is all about lightweight, durable, and eye-catching pieces that complement a swimsuit, cover-up, or breezy summer dress. Think layered anklets, colorful foot chains, body harnesses, and dainty chokers that catch the light as you walk along the shore.

The Best Beach Jewelry Styles for Summer

1. Anklets & Foot Chains

Nothing says "beach ready" like a beautiful anklet. Whether you prefer a simple gold chain, a beaded boho style, or a layered tassel design, anklets are the quintessential summer accessory. Our Shore Jewelry collection is packed with options — from the Gold Multi-Layer Tassel Anklet Set to the Boho Bead Fishtail Anklet.

Pro tip: Stack two or three anklets at different heights on the same ankle for a festival-ready layered look.

2. Belly Chains & Body Jewelry

A belly chain worn over a bikini is one of the most stunning beach looks you can pull off. Our Crystal Heart Belly Chain features sparkling rhinestones that catch the sunlight beautifully, while the adjustable design fits every body type.

3. Choker Necklaces

Chokers sit perfectly above a swimsuit neckline and add instant polish to any beach look. Go for a dainty gold chain, a boho coin choker, or a bold chunky style depending on your vibe.

4. Butterfly & Nature-Inspired Pieces

Butterflies, leaves, stars, and shells — nature-inspired jewelry feels perfectly at home at the beach. Our Butterfly Tassel Anklet and Gold Leaf Double Tassel Anklet are fan favorites for a reason.

5. Belly Button Rings

If you're rocking a bikini, a belly button ring is the ultimate beach accessory. Our hypoallergenic surgical steel options — like the Crystal Floral Belly Button Ring and Purple Bow Navel Piercing — are tarnish-free and safe for sensitive skin.

Beach Jewelry Care Tips

• Rinse after swimming — salt water and chlorine can dull metals over time. A quick rinse with fresh water goes a long way.
• Pat dry — avoid leaving jewelry wet for extended periods.
• Store in a pouch — keep pieces in a small bag in your beach tote to prevent tangling and scratching.
• Go gold-plated — gold-plated pieces tend to hold up better in sun and salt than silver-toned metals.
