Summer isn’t just a season, it’s a feeling.
Long golden evenings, sun-kissed skin, and outfits that feel as easygoing as a barefoot stroll along the shoreline. Your jewellery should flow with that same rhythm: lightweight, radiant, and designed to travel with you.
For summer 2025, holiday jewellery is all about building a collection that lasts beyond a single trip. Think meaningful pendants, sculptural earrings, and textured rings crafted from sustainable materials like recycled 925 sterling silver and 14ct gold vermeil.
We’ve put together an exclusive edit of unique pieces you’ll reach for every summer, whether you’re planning a beach escape or a city break.
So, what jewellery styles are defining summer 2025? Let’s explore this season’s must-haves and how you can style them your way..
Sculptural statement earrings
Big, bold hoops and architectural shapes are leading the way this summer.
These are the earrings that instantly lift a simple outfit whether it’s a beach dress, linen co-ord, or evening slip dress. The beauty? They’re lightweight, travel-friendly, and make a serious impact on you, not the planet.
Your perfect matches:
Agonda large hammered gold hoops
Oversized yet featherlight, their hammered texture adds depth and catches the sunlight beautifully. Statement jewellery that is also subtle, these finely crafted earrings are an Aquila customer favourite.
Their name comes from Agonda, a quiet beach in Goa, whose calm and natural beauty inspired the design’s indented texture, like the rise and fall of the beach. Who doesn’t love a travel story?
Agonda gold trio drop earrings
A multi-drop design that moves with you, wherever you go.
Complete with three linked drops, each is carefully crafted from recycled 14ct gold vermeil over sterling silver. Every pair is hand-finished using traditional hammering and polishing techniques, giving the drops a tactile surface that feels both refined and beautifully boho.
They’re as much about texture and craftsmanship as about style.

Layered & symbolic pendants
Necklaces this season are all about personal expression.
Putting sentiment and feeling first, 2025 is all about layering meaningful pendants and textured metals that tell your unique story.
It’s time to embrace jewellery that feels personal and unique, and accompanies you to festivals, holidays and beyond.
Your perfect match:
Lunula silver crescent pendant
Featuring a bold, curved shape that echoes the moon’s waxing crescent, this symbolic pendant is made from recycled 925 sterling silver which is both hypoallergenic and kind to your skin and the planet.
Why not layer it with your favourite pieces or pair it with the Lunula Gold Crescent Pendant, combining contrasting chain lengths for a complementary mix of metals.

Textured metals & organic shapes
Tactile surfaces and nature-inspired forms define this summer.
Hammered, sculpted, and hand-finished textures bring a raw, organic character to each piece, celebrating the unique imperfections that make jewellery truly one-of-a-kind.
Your perfect matches:
Silver textured square hoop earrings
A geometric yet organic twist on the classic hoop, perfect for those who like a modern edge whilst still keeping it boho.
Crafted from recycled 925 sterling silver with a distinctive textured finish that adds depth and character, these square hoops draw inspiration from natural rock formations and architectural lines.
The surface is hand-finished to mimic the raw beauty of weathered stone, giving each pair a visceral feel that connects you to both nature and travel.
It’s statement jewellery with a refined, boho edge.
Tarutao polished open gold ring
An irregular, open band with a polished finish, perfect for those who love jewellery that feels both boho and modern.
Crafted from recycled 925 sterling silver and layered with 14ct gold vermeil, this ring is adjustable to fit comfortably. Its fluid shape is inspired by the natural curves of Koh Tarutao’s mangroves and waterfalls, capturing the essence of movement and organic life.
Handmade in Thailand by skilled artisans using traditional handheld tools and age old techniques, each ring carries subtle variations that celebrate individuality and the organic shapes of nature.
Silver perfection
Silver is a summer staple that never fades.
Think silver summer pieces like textured silver bracelets that add subtle movement and shine, perfect for layering or wearing solo.
The Hella dainty silver star bracelet
Summer brings about warm evenings and the perfect conditions to gaze at the brilliance of stars.
Inspired by Hella, Iceland, where northern lights dance and stars shine bright, this handmade bracelet made by our artisans in Thailand adds a subtle, cosmic shimmer to any summer look.
While not technically a charm bracelet, its delicate design evokes the nostalgic charm trend, making it a perfect piece to capture that playful, personal vibe this summer.
Travel-ready & sustainable choices
We know your summer jewellery needs to be durable, lightweight, and versatile.
The last thing you want is high-maintenance pieces when you’re meant to be relaxing. That’s why every Aquila design is crafted with travel in mind.
Our Holiday Edit is a curated collection of fuss-free jewellery that transitions from day to night, resists tarnishing, and holds up beautifully against sun, sea, and sand.
Plus, every piece is sustainably handcrafted, because looking good should never come at the planet’s expense.
Aquila’s summer styling tips
Three ways to curate your summer seasonal jewellery with pieces that travel with you, tell your story, and are made to last.
-
Invest in travel-worthy staples: Choose jewellery made to move with you: lightweight, durable, and crafted from recycled silver and gold vermeil. Designed to stay stylish wherever you go, beyond fleeting fashion trends.
-
Mix your metals with intention: Silver and gold are no longer rivals. Layer contrasting tones to create a curated, personal look that evolves with every new destination.
-
Wear your story: Every Aquila piece is textured, symbolic, and made by hand to reflect your personal journey. Layer pendants, talismans, and artisanal textures that hold meaning and capture your travel memories.
Holiday jewellery care tips
Even though Aquila’s 925 sterling silver and gold vermeil pieces are designed to be longlasting, a little care goes a long way:
-
Store jewellery in a soft pouch or separate compartment of your travel bag to avoid scratches.
-
Take off your pieces before you shower or swim
-
Give your jewellery a quick polish with a microfibre cloth after a long day out.
