Finding the Perfect Beach Necklace

When it comes to summer jewellery, few pieces are more versatile than a beach necklace. Whether you're spending the day by the sea, heading off on a coastal holiday, or simply want something that brings beach memories with you wherever you go, a well-chosen necklace can do all of that—and more.

In this guide, we’ll explore what makes the perfect beach necklace, which necklaces suit different seaside settings, and a few of our favourite crafted pieces available now.

What Makes a Good Beach Necklace?

The best beach necklaces are those that feel effortless to wear and hold up well outdoors. When choosing a style, think about:

• Comfort – A lightweight necklace with a smooth design is ideal if you’ll be moving around or wearing it all day.

• Secure fastenings – Whether you’re walking, swimming, or sunbathing, it’s best to stay confident your necklace won’t slip off.

• Practical materials – Sterling silver, stainless steel, and Cornish tin are popular for their durability. Avoid plated jewellery, which may fade with saltwater or sun.

• Meaningful design – Many beach necklace styles reflect the sea, nature, or travel; designs that feel personal as well as practical.

Styles to Suit Every Kind of Beach Day

For Swimming or Paddling

If you plan to get in the sea, choose a beach necklace with a secure chain and a simple pendant that won’t catch or snag. Smooth-edged pieces and short chains work well.

For Beach Walks and Summer Style

Layered necklaces, organic shapes, and textured pendants look great with breezy summer outfits. Look for enamel colours, soft tones, or sea-themed textures that reflect the nature around you.

For Gifts and Personal Meaning

A necklace that symbolises a journey or memory makes a wonderful gift. Real shells, wave patterns, or spiritual symbols all carry deeper significance and make the product even more special.
