the enduring appeal of shell jewelry
There’s a definite vibe this season of celebrating the natural world. Whether it’s the jungle, the focus on sustainability, or the use of natural elements in fresh new ways, there’s a lot to love about the idea of showing Earth some love in your everyday fashion choices.
And what better way to do that than with a cool shell necklace or dangling earrings that celebrate the sea?

Some luxury brands, like Prada, have made shell jewelry a core part of their spring summer collections for years. Others dip and out of this particular tide pool. For spring summer 2020, the look showed up on runways as diverse as Oscar de la Renta and Marine Serre.
We love shell jewelry paired with some of the other big trends this season, like the rise of sky blue. The most refined shell jewelry can easily substitute for pearls in your favorite outfit. The more casual ones are perfect for when you’re off duty.
