If there is one thing my mother has taught me, it is that the most important jewelry is not usually the most eye-catching. And she is right, because in fact, the pieces I wear the most are precisely the most discreet ones. Especially in summer, when our clothing becomes simpler and lighter, and accessories are what end up elevating a look.
Maybe for that reason minimalist designs are living one of their best moments. They fit perfectly with the essence of silent luxury, they are timeless, they do not understand trends (nor ages) and they bring light to the face in a very subtle way. Moreover, when you are tan and the fabrics shrink to linen, cotton and the more relaxed silhouettes, that is when they really shine.
But how to choose a piece among such a wide range of possibilities? My rule is always the same: opt for those models that I think I will still be wearing ten years from now. If there is a touch of retro inspiration, even better. However, in general, they are always thin, subtle and true to the at least is more.
The discreet jewelry pieces that have won me over this summer
Open ring with cubic zirconias from Laila Collection, 18 euros.
Open ring with cubic zirconias from Laila Collection, 18 euros. I like it because its open design and the small cubic zirconia flower add a very delicate touch of light that is flattering when the skin is slightly tanned. Plus, being visually adjustable and so fine, it’s much more wearable.
Minimalist rectangular earrings by Mumit, 149 euros.
Minimalist rectangular earrings by Mumit, 149 euros. They are the perfect definition that less is more. Their geometric, clean design adds structure to the face without feeling heavy, becoming the perfect alternative for those seeking something different. They are also incredibly versatile. Just for that reason alone they are worth it.
Star necklace by Singularu, 34.99 euros.
Star necklace by Singularu, 34.99 euros. It has a nostalgic touch that reminds me of the jewelry we used to collect as children, though reinterpreted from a much more elegant and sophisticated perspective. Additionally, you can wear it alone or with other fine pendants for a discreet layering, but with its own personality.
Floral earrings by Apodemia, 80.10 euros.

Gold jewelry watch by Tommy Hilfiger, 160.30 euros.
Gold jewelry watch by Tommy Hilfiger, 160.30 euros. It is sophisticated, original, and very different from traditional watches. Moreover, it is both a bracelet and a watch at the same time. Pair it with a few small gold earrings for a ten-ready look. I think it’s a smart investment.
Fine band with stones by Viceroy, 16.10 euros.
Fine band with stones by Viceroy, 16.10 euros. It is discreet, thin and very elegant. It is also one of the easiest jewelry pieces to incorporate into your day-to-day.
