Accessorize The Aquamarine Way With These Beachy Jewelry Picks
We’re diving headfirst into this trend.
If you watched Aquamarine, Blue Crush, or Soul Surfer growing up, chances are you developed at least a slight obsession with emulating the cool, sun-kissed, laidback beach girl vibes that all those films’ main characters share. To be fair, it’s hard not to envy the equally chill and it girl factor that many early-aughts leading women effortlessly embodied. And that desire to look as radiant as the summer sun still reigns true in today’s media. Zara Larsson regularly glitters in micro board shorts and bikini tops on stage while melodically declaring “summer isn’t over yet” — no matter what month it is — while shows like Love Island and Outer Banks make the case for having a wardrobe that consists exclusively of swimwear.
And while those examples of the coastal girl aesthetic are certainly a more glamorous portrayal than how those who actually spend all their time oceanside present, there are still plenty of valid notes vacationers can take to embrace sun-kissed style — starting with accessories.
Whether you’re a puka shell enthusiast or a true surfer looking for minimalist chains that add a touch of sparkle to a wetsuit without getting in the way of your waves, the current jewelry market offers endless options for diving headfirst into a coconut girl vibe. From the very-90s corded necklaces trend with enamel fish pendants, to strands of imperfect pearls on anklets, and lucite bangles that look like the spirit of the ocean is captured inside of them, TZR has curated an array of summer-ready adornments we’re sure Sara Paxton would approve of. See and shop them all below.
