Big statement pieces can be sweaty in the summer, so when we want to both feel and look cool, we wear bling made from natural materials.

The leather in Luxetto’s wrapped wristlets is so soft you’ll barely know you’re wearing it. But people will definitely notice the beautiful bracelets from the custom-made jewellery line. We swooned over the Ruby ($139) in taupe leather studded with gold-plated beads as well as the Rocco ($149) in a Hermès-esque shade of orange. 

We’re wrapped with attention. —JN

We won’t be summering at the Côte d'Azur, but we can still accessorize like we just stepped off our yacht.

We’ve fallen en amour with Birks French Riviera-inspired collection by Canadian-born designer, ESTY. Our coup de coeur includes the Needlefish Cluster necklace ($445) and dancing dragon fly pendant ($265). But it’s her fan coral collection with sterling silver cuff bracelet ($750, pictured) that made us want to dive right in.

Perhaps Johnny Depp needs a date for the Cannes red carpet? Bien sur!
