Shimmering in the Sun: Summer Gemstones to Wear All Season Long
There’s something about summer that calls for color. As the days grow longer and the light grows warmer, our style shifts toward breezier silhouettes, sun-kissed skin, and jewelry with summer gemstones that feel just a little more vibrant. Summer is the season of movement, adventure, and spontaneity, and your jewelry should match that energy.
Certain stones practically hum with the spirit of summer—radiant, earthy, and full of life. Whether you're heading to the coast or sipping rosé under café lights, the right gemstone can be a beautiful reminder of nature’s warmth and wonder.
At Robin Haley Jewelry, every piece begins with intention and a sense of connection. That spirit shines especially bright in our Fashion Gemstone Collection, where timeless artisan craftsmanship meets the glowing palette of the season.
Here are some of our favorite summer gemstones in handpicked pieces from our collection that bring them to life.
Turquoise: The Spirit of the Southwest
Few stones capture the essence of summer like turquoise. With its sea-blue hue and ancient roots, turquoise is as bold as it is grounding. Worn for protection and healing since ancient times, this stone radiates calm, cool confidence—even on the hottest days.
Style it with: linen, denim, white cotton, or a simple tank and jeans. Let it speak for itself.
Robin’s pick: The Turquoise Drop Necklace is made with gold-plated pewter and a handcut stone, like something you’d find in a desert market at golden hour—pure, elemental, unforgettable.
Moonstone: Mysterious and Luminous
With its ethereal shimmer and feminine energy, moonstone is like moonlight on water. It has long been associated with intuition and new beginnings—an ideal companion for a season of spontaneous travel, barefoot evenings, and personal renewal.
Style it with: neutrals, sheer fabrics, or a silk slip dress and a wavy beach updo for a soft, luminous look.
Robin’s pick: The Moonstone Silver Drop Earrings echo ancient symbols of power and light—a reminder to follow your inner compass, even when the path ahead is lit only by starlight.
Labradorite: Summer Storms and Mystical Light
Like the sky before a summer rain, labradorite holds multitudes: blues, greens, flashes of gold. It's the gemstone of transformation, creativity, and inner strength. For those drawn to mystery, labradorite is your warm-weather talisman.
Style it with: dramatic prints, beachy black, or something unexpected.
Robin’s pick: The Labradorite and White Pearl Double Chain Necklace is crafted from 14K gold plating, accenting three beautiful marquise-cut stones. The elegant layered double chain design is sophisticated and captures that iridescent magic that feels like a summer evening storm rolling in—wild, moody and magnetic.
Aquamarine: The Color of Clear Blue Escape
From the Latin aqua marinus, meaning “water of the sea,” aquamarine is the embodiment of everything we crave in summer: clarity, freedom and wide-open skies. Known as a stone of courage and calm, it’s the perfect accent for both coastal escapes and peaceful moments.
Style it with: beachwear, flowing dresses, or layer them with gold for a subtle, luxe vibe.
Robin’s pick: The Aquamarine Bar Drop Earrings reflect light with every movement, offering a sense of calm clarity no matter where summer takes you. If you're looking for a modern showstopper with a classic twist, these earrings are for you.
Gemstones with Meaning, Pieces with Soul
Each of Robin’s gemstone designs is meticulously crafted by hand in her Nashville studio, rooted in history and elevated by artistry. The materials are real, the energy is soul-filled, and the intention behind every piece is to create something lasting. Something personal.
