Four Ways to Accessorize This Summer

Now that the sun is out and you’re enjoying summer, it’s a great opportunity to spend time focusing on yourself. During the busy months, life’s chaos can make it hard to remember your motivations until you lose your drive. Summer, on the other hand, is a season when the busyness of work slows down, the days are longer, and the vibe is chill. It’s an ideal time to get back to your roots by working on yourself. Real winners must stay grounded in who they are to remember why they’re working hard for their passions.

Self care can take many different forms, from spending quality time alone for goal setting, to making health changes leading to a stronger you. Another way to feel more like yourself again is to turn your focus outwards to your style. Crafting your appearance to reflect your self can do wonders for your confidence. When you feel good, and you feel authentic, your confidence lifts and you start breaking down your self-imposed walls. If you want to crash through your slump and get back to your core during the long, restful summer days, look no further than accessories.

High quality jewelry is perfect to elevate your look. Be sure to search for hypoallergenic metals that will stand up against sweat, water, sun, and all your outdoor summer activities. Here are four accessories you can wear this summer to express your style. All the examples given are non-tarnishable and come with a lifetime warranty from CRFTD London.

The World Band Ring in Gold

The World Band Ring comes in both gold and silver and brings refinement to your outfit. Let the world map design remind you to push past your limitations, break boundaries, and stay true to yourself until the world is at your feet. With its combination of 18k gold plating and 316L stainless steel, this ring won’t stain your skin or discolor; you can keep it on as a constant reminder to be yourself. The World Band Ring is part of CRFTD London’s limited edition Endless Summer Collection, so once it sells out you’ll lose your chance to score this piece.

The Eagle Pendant Chain in Silver

What symbol better represents courage, freedom, and daring than the strong and fearless eagle? If you add this imagery to your outfit and carry it with you throughout the day, you’ll never forget to stay focused on your goals. Made from a 2mm stainless steel Cuban chain, the handmade necklace can be worn with its pendant or on its own. You can save the eagle symbol for days you need extra motivation, or incorporate it into all of your summer looks. The Eagle Pendant Chain (in both silver and gold) is also part of CRFTD London’s Endless Summer Collection, so get it while you can.

The 4MM Cuban Link Chain in Gold

Bold link chains in bright gold are only for those who go out into the world with confidence, unafraid to draw attention to their look. CRFTD London’s 4mm Cuban Link Chain is thick enough to send a message that you aren’t someone who gets pushed around but still simple enough to seamlessly add to any outfit. Be warned that heads will turn and eyes will be on you if you elevate your style with vivid gold chains; the more you layer, the more your look will stand out. You can also experiment with layering pendant necklaces next to your chains, but even on their own chains are guaranteed to pop.

The Cuff Bracelet in Silver

There’s a time to go big and bold and there’s a time to simplify your look and let the theory of “less is more” drive your style. The Cuff Bracelet in silver wraps around the wrist with flexible arms and unpretentious detailing. The stamped lines running around the length of the cuff subtly upgrade the piece. This bracelet is made from premium 316L stainless steel that won’t tarnish or lose its shine. If you want to further express yourself with this accessory, consider laying multiple pieces up your wrist to feature your forearm. Guaranteed to fit you with multiple sizes to choose between, the Cuff Bracelet can be your next staple accessory.

Nobody knows you better than yourself, but it can be hard to remember who you truly are during the noise and chaos of a busy life. Summertime is the perfect chance to steer yourself back to your roots. Bold accessories can ground you in your sense of self and act as a daily boost of confidence. The better your accessories, the more you’ll feel prepared to show up and crush your goals. Don’t wait to elevate your style with simple, meaningful jewelry pieces if you want to feel like yourself again.
