While a love for the ocean is seasonless, summer brings about a celebration of the sea like no other time of the year. And jewels are part of it. This is when we break out our palm tree pendants, our festive fish earrings, and every manner of seashell and starfish we might have stowed away in our jewelry boxes.
Ocean-themed jewelry may be a great bet for tourists visiting island locales, but nautical motifs have universal appeal, even in landlocked areas where people yearn for the salty sea air. Which is precisely why there’s a seemingly endless selection of such pieces, with one (or 12) for every taste.
Deep Blue, a new collection from Ocean Jewelry—a brand set to make a grand appearance at JCK Las Vegas in little over a week (believe it!)—has marvelous appeal. Made with lab-grown gemstones and diamonds, the collection offers a big look made to last summer after summer, at a price consumers can manage in addition to their memorable vacations.
A favorite of mine is the Deep Blue necklace pictured at top, with lab-grown diamond starfish nestled among clusters of lab-grown sapphires in varying shades of ocean blue. It’s a big, richly colored style, one that would pair beautifully with a breezy white dress or even a summer wedding gown.
“Deep Blue is more than a collection, it’s the beginning of a high-end jewelry line,” said Shane Maher, CEO of Flaircraft, the company that owns Ocean Jewelry, in a statement. “Designed for those who treasure gold as part of their story and who understand the beauty and meaning behind lab-grown gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds.”

To go with the necklace, a matching pair of earrings (above) dangles long and luxe, the lab-grown diamond starfish at the bottom of a lovely blue-green line. As a suite or individually, this jewelry is summer fun at its best, with a bit of luxury to boot.
See the collection in its entirety at Ocean Jewelry’s booth in the Fashion/Bridge neighborhood of the JCK show, #14135.
