I’m not one who always succumbs to what’s trending in the fashion world, but I have to say that I’m obsessed with shell jewelry. It has nothing to do with the fact that it’s trending everywhere right now, but because it’s freakin’ cute. Plus, looking at and wearing shell jewelry makes me feel like I’m on a glamorous beach vacation. It’s everything I want in a pair of earrings, necklace or bracelet.
Shell jewelry just illicits that feeling in me that I’m sitting in a cabana, sipping on a strawberry daiquiri and staring out at the ocean. It’s a good feeling, and if I need to buy a couple of pairs of earrings to get it, I will. And if the most luxurious place I wear those earrings is sitting on my couch, staring at my laptop screen, so be it. I’m not ashamed. I love shell jewelry, and no one can stop me! (Am I being too dramatic? Eh, whatever.)
I picked out some of my favorite shell jewelry pieces—even some I can’t even afford—because I want us all to spend the entire spring and summer months decked out in shells on shells on shells. So join me in my journey to own shell jewelry and shell jewelry only. (Just kidding. I love too many different jewelry styles to commit to that. But I do love shell jewelry. A lot.)
