Cruise and resort vacations are all about relaxation, adventure, and fun in the sun. One way to enhance your experience is by accessorizing with colorful, playful jewelry. The right jewelry can elevate your outfits from casual to chic, making an impact on your overall look. Here are some creative tips on how to style your jewelry for a memorable getaway and photos that will bring back happy memories for years to come.

Embrace Natural Materials

Resort wear often features light fabrics and tropical prints, so consider jewelry made from natural materials such as gemstones, mother of pearl, and beads. These complement the relaxed vibe of resort wear and add an earthy touch, just right for the beach.

Consider the Occasion

For daytime excursions or a tour of the island, opt for minimal jewelry such as stud earrings, thin bracelets or pendants that will be comfortable and allow you to fully enjoy your activities.

For poolside or beach, stick with the simplest huggies or chain or anklet. You don’t want to lose your jewelry in the surf!

For formal nights and evening events, selecting the right jewelry will help create that perfect look. A choker, a simple diamond necklace, or the always-appropriate tennis bracelet will be a great choices.

To up the elegance, opt for chandelier or drop earrings that add sparkle.

And finally, for must-bring travel basics, I always love the simplicity of a sterling silver bracelet and bold silver earrings.

P.S. Remember, don’t take anything with you that you can’t afford to lose!
