Best neon jewellery for summer

By Kim Parker

As the mercury rises and the sidewalks start to sizzle, our thoughts naturally turn to what to wear. And as anyone with a penchant for beach breaks, festivals or sunshine-soaked escapes can tell us, nothing pairs as naturally with a loose, floaty wardrobe (and perhaps a tan) than neon jewellery.

Candy-bright jewellery has been a huge trend so far for 2022, with some of the industry’s best buyers picking bold, bright and maximalist pieces as their go-tos for the year. Now that summer is well and truly here, these kaleidoscopic, feel-good jewels are surely set to sell out.

Tempted to try the trend? Here’s our pick of the best neon jewellery to style up for this summer. Indulge now, before they disappear like a Mr. Whippy on a hot day…

Neon Yellow Fruit Hoop Earrings by Boochier

The Fizzy Wizzy Necklace, by RF x Marianne Theodorsen

The Fizzy Wizzy necklace is crafted from blue and yellow opal beads and festooned with enamel and 9k yellow gold charms.

Think all signet rings need to nod to tradition? Think again. Yvonne Léon’s neon green number balances a classic shape with a citrus blast of lime green enamel and a single sparkling diamond.
