Summer in Silver

When you’re living and breathing clothes, summer can be brutal. 

The outfit options shrink to bare bones real quick and we’re left with featherweight tees and a handful of dark trousers tough enough to survive monsoon season (rainy summer here in Korea). You might not have realised though, that when your look feels like it’s missing something, it’s not because you need more clothes. You need the right accessories.

 

So here it is: our summer jewelry list-up from jente store. We’ve been obsessively browsing, mixing, and mentally styling these pieces for weeks. It’s six very different summer moods, matched with twelve brands we genuinely can’t stop thinking about.

 

Summer's Better in Flashy Silver

Panconesi

Not all silver wants to play nice. Panconesi is for the ones who like their jewelry with a little tension. Twisted, overlapped, and built like wearable sculpture. These pieces are modular too, which means one design can morph into multiple styles depending on how you wear it. Some of these might seem closer to artifacts than accessories.

Marco Panconesi launched his namesake label in 2019 after designing at Balenciaga and Givenchy, and the drama shows. These aren’t quiet pieces. They scream, shimmer, and sometimes snarl. One ear cuff looks like it could double as stage armor for a K-pop finale. Personally, I’ve had the same online store tab open for weeks. Soon.

 

EMANUELE BICOCCHI

If Panconesi is the oddball visionary, Emanuele Bicocchi is your moody romantic. Still Italian, but with a darker edge, like night to Panconesi’s day. Launched in 2006, this brand leans hard on craftsmanship and visual weight. Even the name sounds like it comes with gravitas.

Feathers, crosses, pearls, and roses bring a kind of baroque intensity that holds its own even against the simplest outfit. A plain white tee and jeans feel instantly charged next to these. The brand’s campaigns prove the point that a black tank and a silver chain are all it takes to lock in a look that feels complete. If you’re into the dark romance of Ann Demeulemeester, this one’s going to land perfectly.

 

Beads That Belong in the Sun

 

ANNI LU

ANNI LU is like summer in a jewelry box. Think found seashells, glittering crystals catching the sun, and candy-colored beads that hum with salt and breeze. Each piece feels like a vacation memory you never want to forget.

Based in Copenhagen, ANNI LU is what happens when Scandi minimalism meets boho surf girl, unexpectedly harmonious and totally irresistible. These playful pieces were made for stacking. I’ve got three bracelets already and counting. The more you layer, the more you smell sunscreen and saltwater.

 

Understated to the Core

 

Tom Wood

Tom Wood gets what "clean lines" really mean. Sleek silhouettes stripped of drama, but never dull. There’s a Nordic coolness to everything they do, and it sticks. Season after season.

Start simple. A ring or an earring. The signature is the signet ring. Traditionally a status symbol carved with family crests, here it’s been reworked with modern minimalism. I wear mine almost daily. It kind of feels like a fashion secret weapon. You could rotate the same black outfit every day and let one Tom Wood ring do all the styling. It’s giving low-effort, high-inheritance energy.

  

Lemaire

Some days you want to live inside one brand’s world. With Lemaire, that fantasy checks out. Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry. They all speak the same quiet, cultured dialect.

Lemaire’s jewelry doesn’t shout. It simmers. There's a subtle surrealism at play. Ordinary shapes get reimagined through a sculptor’s lens. Like a mirror hidden inside a castanet pendant, these pieces balance utility and poetry, never tipping too far into either camp. I tried one on once and immediately felt like someone who reads hardcovers and drinks iced espresso in silence. That feeling stayed with me.

 

Bohemian Body, Sci-Fi Soul

 

NICCOLÒ PASQUALETTI

“Softness of stone, sensuality of water.” That’s how NICCOLÒ PASQUALETTI introduces himself. His pieces take the classical codes of Italian tailoring and pull them apart, re-stitching them into a new kind of dressing ritual. The clothing is avant-garde, but the jewelry is strangely immediate.

Maybe that’s because Niccolò started out as a jewelry designer. His pieces sit against the skin like fluent sculpture, balancing delicacy with undeniable gravity. They look like alien vertebrae, or relics from some long-forgotten planet. Textures collide with curves in ways that feel both eerie and magnetic. I find myself coming back to his work constantly. It's the kind of visual language you don’t forget.

Cute, Creepy, Completely Mesmerizing

 

YVMIN

YVMIN is cute. But it’s also a little unhinged. Think glassy eyes from a haunted doll, or a sci-fi charm that feels like it could unlock a portal. The earrings, rings, and body pieces cling to you like they were grown there. They're not accessories. They're extensions.

Made from silver, resin, crystal, and PVC, each piece feels like a relic from a parallel timeline. You’ll see ear cuffs that could’ve been styled by an intergalactic pop star, and pendants shaped like glass capsules with something suspicious inside. This is world-building you wear.

If you’re easing in, go for one of their asymmetric chain earrings or a stud with punch. Subtle doesn’t live here. The louder and more playful you get, the better it works.

SHUSHU/TONG

SHUSHU/TONG uses bows, pearls, and hearts with the energy of a girl who sharpens her eyeliner into a weapon. Every detail is extra, and nothing apologizes.

Giant plastic pearls, dripping ribbon earrings, and heart-shaped everything, they feel like they were ripped from a teenage dream and then reassembled with attitude. Pair them with tailored trousers or a stiff blazer and watch the story shift. That contrast is the whole point.

Sure, they read like costume jewelry at first glance. But the chaos is choreographed. It’s maximalism with a masterplan.

SAF SAFU

SAF SAFU lives somewhere between dream and prank, horror and humor. Earrings made from doll limbs. Lopsided hearts. Plastic pieces that sparkle in weird, uncomfortable ways. The brand messes with what jewelry is supposed to be, and lands somewhere unforgettable.

Nothing here looks like it belongs to any one era or place. It’s like someone translated a childhood nightmare into rings and charms. And it works. The aesthetic lives between kitsch and cruelty, vintage and uncanny. It doesn’t ask to be understood. It dares you to react.

The Most Feminine

   

Simone Rocha

Simone Rocha takes the symbols of femininity, pearls, lace, bows, crystal, and disfigures them into something haunting. The jewelry looks like it wandered out of a 19th-century portrait, still wearing grief like perfume.

Her earrings drape in exaggerated clusters, her chokers bloom with too-perfect flowers. It’s beauty with a tragic aftertaste. Even the bows look less sweet and more sharp. The effect is arresting. The pieces feel like they could silence a room.

That moment in front of your summer closet when you think, "What even is there to wear today?" Maybe it’s not the clothes that need changing, maybe just what you put on top.

Sometimes one ring, one chain, one oddly-shaped pearl can tilt the entire day. That’s the power of a good accessory. Luckily, our jente store curation is the fast track through your styling fatigue. On days when nothing feels exciting, let the jewelry do the talking. Keep the clothes light, the metal lighter. Let your accessories carry the story.
