The It-Girl Seashell Necklaces Worth Buying Before Summer Ends
From scallop necklaces to conch-shaped earrings, these pieces belong in every warm-weather wardrobe.
My obsession with seashell jewelry began last year when I discovered Juju Vera’s Petra Shell necklace. Designed with a shimmering silver scallop and suspended teardrop charms, the nautical pendant instantly made waves among the fashion insider crowd. It girls everywhere scrambled to get their hands on the dazzling $995 accessory, which soon became an “IYKYK” status symbol.
Since then, seashell jewelry has developed into a designer favorite. On the Spring 2026 runways, some luxury brands ditched conventional diamond studs and tennis bracelets for gems that appeared as though they were pulled straight from the ocean. Ralph Lauren showcased a silver gastropod shell delicately strung on a black cord necklace, and Tory Burch designed sculptural earrings with a pattern resembling a marine snail shell. Meanwhile, Balmain opted for a gorgeous necklace stack featuring a tiny cone shell.

Inspired by the abundance of maritime accessories, I’ve added the look to my own jewelry box this summer. During a recent weekend getaway to the Hamptons, I styled a Pandora clam charm on a radiant chain bracelet. Paired with a breezy button-down and linen pants, the look embodied true coastal chicness.
I’ve also got several other seashell jewels on my wish list from brands like Madewell, J.Crew, and Jennifer Behr. These pieces will fit perfectly into my shoreside wardrobe—and yours, too. Scroll on to shop my curated edit.
