How To Style Your Summer with Brand Ambassador Debbie Le Grainger
It’s that golden time of year when nights are lighter, the sun shines brighter and your jewellery collection gets the spotlight it deserves. From pool days and city brunches, to summer weddings and seaside lunches, we know the perfect person to help style your summer.
We’ve worked closely with our Brand Ambassador, Debbie Le Grainger, to curate the perfect summer styling guide (and when it comes to jewellery - Debbie knows exactly how to make every piece shine)! Thoughtfully crafted for beautiful summer styling, our Summer Edit brings together four new collections for the season - Modern Pearl, Ocean Treasures, Summer Essentials and Heart Icons.
"For me, there’s something about summer that makes jewellery feel even more effortless to style. I naturally gravitate towards versatile pieces I can layer, with a statement piece or two that I can build around. It’s all about choosing styles that feel easy to wear and reflect your own personal style, no matter what the occasion." - Debbie, Brand Ambassador.
Getaway glamour
If sunset strolls or poolside afternoons are on your to-do list this summer, we’ve got you covered. Debbie has chosen the most alluring pieces to complement your seaside style, with coastal motifs, lustrous pearls and radiant yellow gold really having their moment to shine this year.
Debbie has paired glowing pearls with a contemporary bonded gold T-bar bracelet, which not only creates a stunning finish against the scenic backdrop, but effortlessly takes the look from simple to chic. Our range of bonded gold jewellery is tarnish-resistant, sweat proof and hypoallergenic, making it the perfect choice for a summer holiday.
Whether you’re in crisp linen or your favourite swim suit, combining radiant finishes with ocean motifs or sleek gold detailing, effortlessly elevates your usual poolside attire. We hope you’ve got enough space in your travel jewellery box!
"For beach days, I keep my jewellery light and effortless. Think delicate bonded gold chains for durability, ocean motifs, simple hoops and a few stackable necklaces that catch the sunlight without feeling overdone. It's the kind of styling that works just as well by the pool as it does at sunset drinks." - Debbie, Brand Ambassador.
City chic moments
Summer 2026 has certainly seen a more elevated approach to curating your ensemble compared to recent years, making every accessory a carefully considered choice. Proving that statement pieces don’t have to just be for special occasions, Debbie shows us exactly how she’d style summer in the city.
Debbie has perfected the art of statement styling for the city, making chunky chains and earring stacks the focal point of her look. Whether you’re opting for a more formal aesthetic with a blazer and heels, or a more laid-back approach with jeans and a crisp white shirt, building your outfit around a statement piece of jewellery is a great way to achieve the city chic vibe.
"For me, city dressing is all about balancing chic statements with effortless style, and jewellery is what pulls it all together. I like to layer everyday gold pieces with one standout detail, whether that's a bold motif, chunky chain or statement earrings. It makes even the simplest outfit feel put together." - Debbie, Brand Ambassador.
Sunlit celebrations
A warm breeze and sunlight that feels endless, summer is the perfect time for all of those special occasions. Whether it’s a wedding, a christening or a birthday surprise, you’re bound to reach for a graceful satin dress or tailored two-piece and we have the pieces that are sure to bring those to life.
Occasion dressing should look carefully curated and feel effortless to achieve. Pearl necklaces, pearl earrings or pearl bracelets provide the ultimate summer glow and are a true symbol of an ocean treasure, adding a subtle yet impactful finish to your attire. For a more refined and understated look, opt for romantic motifs or timeless shimmering bangles to set an elegant and romantic tone. They’re super easy to style thanks to their effortless versatility.
"When I'm dressing for a summer occasion, I'm really mindful about how my jewellery complements my outfit. Lustrous pearls to compliment linen, layered gold bracelets to elevate denim, or a pair of sculptural earrings to completely transform a simple summer dress. It feels elevated without ever looking like you've tried too hard." Debbie, Brand Ambassador.
For a summer in full shine, lean into Debbie’s styling tips this season and take your look from classic to contemporary with ease.
"Summer is when gold jewellery really comes to life for me. I love layering warm-toned pieces that catch the light beautifully, whether it's stacked bracelets, a T-bar necklace or glowing hoops. It's the easiest way to add that effortless summer glow to any outfit." - Debbie, Brand Ambassador.
