When summer comes, we crave lightness, colour, and materials that can withstand the heat and unexpected swims. For your personalised summer jewellery, choosing the right materials and natural stones is essential to combine aesthetics, durability, and symbolism.

Natural Stones That Capture the Energy of Summer

Soft, luminous and natural, it recalls the shimmering sea and pairs beautifully with gold and tanned skin.

2. Turquoise:
A stone of protection and freedom, inspiring serenity and travel. Perfect for adventurous souls and seaside escapes.

3. Moonstone:
Mystical and poetic, this stone embodies light, intuition, elegance and softness. Ideal for a romantic piece.

4. Rose quartz:
A symbol of love, tenderness and harmony, rose quartz is perfect for an emotional gift to give or receive.

Explore our personalised fine stone necklace to incorporate these stones into a jewellery piece that is both personal and seasonal.

Why Choose Personalised Jewellery in Summer?

A personalised summer piece is a living keepsake.

It offers three main benefits:

• Originality: Each piece is unique.
• Sentimental value: It tells a personal story.
• Summer style: Light, symbolic and always elegant.

Engraved with a name, a date or a sweet word, your jewellery becomes a discreet witness to your most beautiful moments: a sunset walk, a seaside declaration, an unforgettable adventure with friends…

How to Care for Your Jewellery During Summer?

Sun, sand, sea and chlorine can dull your jewellery’s shine. Here are simple tips to keep them sparkling all summer:

• Avoid wearing them in the shower or pool, even if some materials can resist.
• Clean regularly with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
• Store carefully in a fabric pouch, away from moisture.
• Remove jewellery at night to avoid rubbing and preserve their shine.

Opt for suitable materials like gold plating, 9-carat gold, or sterling silver 925, which better withstand seasonal wear. For more advice, see our jewellery care guide.

The Best Summer Occasions to Gift Personalised Jewellery

Summer is full of precious moments and unforgettable memories. What could be more touching than personalised jewellery to celebrate them?

Here are some perfect summer gift occasions:

• A summer birthday:
  Birthdays under the sun deserve a unique and meaningful gift. An engraved piece is more than a present — it’s a lasting memory of a special summer.
• Outdoor engagements or weddings:
  For such symbolic events, personalised jewellery can accompany a proposal, thank a witness, or simply recall the magic.
• Hen parties (bachelorette parties):
  Give an engraved bracelet to each participant to immortalise the day with friends. A shared gesture that bonds the group forever.
• Trips or getaways with friends:
  Why not gift a piece that recalls the dream destination or shared adventure? A GPS coordinate engraving, place name or keyword makes all the difference.
• Family reunions:
  Summer is often the time to see loved ones. An engraved piece can celebrate strong family ties, like to a mother, sister or child.
• A simple “Thinking of you”:
  No big occasion needed to bring joy. Summer is the perfect time for spontaneous acts of kindness that warm the heart.
