The jewellery trends that defined Euro summer style
With social feeds still awash with the turquoise seas of Croatia, the cobalt blues of Santorini and the molten-gold glow of an Ibiza sunset, Euro summer has made an impact. And the jewellery box is no exception. This season’s key jewellery trends embody that refined yet relaxed state of mind synonymous with summer getaways, radiating energy, sparking joy and serving as the ultimate finishing touch to every Euro-summer look—from sunlit strolls to no-curfew, moonlit nights. With a little help from our friends at Michael Hill, we’re channelling a Euro-summer state of mind with three key jewellery trends and must-have vacation styles.
Colour Story
If there’s ever a time to experiment with vibrant colour, it’s on holiday. But rather than diving headfirst into a sea of bold shades, start small: subtle bursts of eye-catching hues that feel personal. Birthstones are an effortless way to add meaning—and vibrancy—to your holiday looks. Stacked rings, layered silhouettes and mixed stone colours add instant depth and personality.
A Personal Touch
It feels like we’ve finally returned to making our mark through the pieces we wear—and nothing proves it more than the enduring charm trend. Michael Hill’s Pendant Bar captures that spirit with a mix-and-match collection of charms and pendants designed to tell your story. From zodiac signs and initials to meaningful symbols and classic lockets, each piece is made to be stacked and layered your way—marking the memories and milestones of your summer adventures.
The Next Wave
They say inspiration is everywhere— and sometimes, it’s sitting at the bottom of a tidepool. This season, the soft lustre of pearls feels perfectly aligned with summer holiday dressing, adding effortless feminine luxe to breezy cotton and linen looks. Start subtly with drop or stud cultured freshwater pearl earrings, or make a statement with standout Michael Hill pieces, like string cultured freshwater pearl necklaces—ideal for elevating even the most laid-back outfits.
