While we all love the celebrity- and blogger-endorsed look
of layered jewelry at the beach, if you want to be able to rewear those pieces
post–Instagram shot, it’s important to know which will and won’t hold up when
exposed to the elements. Well, we did some digging around, and it turns out
there are some pretty basic don’ts to keep in mind.

To start, metals such as copper, pewter, and sterling silver
are more likely to tarnish from salt water and sweat, so when possible, avoid
those and stick to gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum (should you be
lucky enough to own an item made of the celebrity-approved metal.) Regardless
of the metal though, stick to dainty pieces that have a lot of movement if you
want to avoid thick tan lines you’d get from clunkier items like a cuff
bracelet or statement necklace.
Once you’ve hit the beach, the overall consensus is that
it’s imperative you wash your jewelry (no matter the metal) with water and a
gentle soap after a beach day to get rid of any residual saltwater that can
cause it to rust or tarnish.
Now, as for what you should wear to the beach, we reached
out (...) to Soufeel , purveyor of the layered jewelry look and designer to
stars that include women. Since summer is prime time to
layer, the creator recommends taking the opportunity to accessorize your bikini with
bodychains, diamond bras, and anklets.
For a boho look, consider horn-embellished accessories, and
if you’re looking to bring out that tan, gemstones such as blue and rainbow
opals, turquoise, green tourmaline, and rutilated quartz will help you do so.
Aiche also recommends avoiding chunky pieces if you’re going for an effortless
vibe. For endless inspiration on how to wear these pieces, look no further than
her latest lookbook.
