Why do we love turquoise so much? Because it never goes out of style, it’s an easy way to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe and it epitomizes summer perfectly. Since we’re gearing up for a quick jaunt to sunny, hot Mexico, we decided to stock up on some must-have turquoise accessories to go with our maxi dresses, chic shorts, and beachwear. Here are our top picks for a tropical beach vacation now, or to save for our very own hot summer days.
1. The Earring Splurge
Two things we love about these earrings. One, we’re loving the length hitting just above the shoulder. And two, we love the addition of crystals at the top of the earring. It makes for a flirty, yet sophisticated option for lounging pool-side or a casual dinner.

2. The Classic Investment Necklace
You can’t go wrong with an Elsa Peretti necklace from Tiffany & Co. It’s easy to travel with and adds an elegant touch thanks to the teardrop shape of the pendant.

3. The Casual Bracelet
Go boho-chic with this string and turquoise bead combo that wraps around your wrist multiple times for a layered look. We say pair this with denim cutoffs, gladiator sandals and a sheer tunic.

4. The Stackable Ring
We love the look of stacked rings on a finger — especially for a carefree summer look. Mix and match plain gold bands, other turquoise rings and even wooden rings with this gem.

5. A Money-Saving Find
While we may have a few indulgences on this list, we have to throw in a less expensive find. That way even if you leave them behind at your beach hotel, or your bags go missing, it won’t break the bank. Enter these chic and fun earrings from Forever21.

6. The Stackable Cuff
In the perfect shade of turquoise, this cuff caught our eye as we pictured it stacked with similar bracelets in coral and yellow — and we also couldn’t resist the slight chevron shape.

7. A Touch of Turquoise
For a super subtle, but incredibly pretty and sophisticated look, we say go for these earrings. The multi-coloured crystals come in coral and turquoise (another favourite colour combo for us) and will elevate your black maxi dress to fancy-night-out appropriate.

8. The Bright Sunnies
Even though we love turquoise and we know it will always be a hot weather staple jewellery-wise, we like the idea of a fun pair of sunglasses in the pretty blue shade that won’t max out our credit cards. Black, brown and tortoise sunglasses will always be standards, but bright hues, not so much. That’s why these sunglasses from asos.com are perfect.

9. The Statement Necklace
Turquoise and gold were made for each other. And this 18k gold necklace with large turquoise stones is one of our favourite ways to combine the two. Pack this beauty in your suitcase to dress up any outfit for a balmy night out.

10. A Rustic Bracelet
We’re in love with this handmade brass and turquoise bracelet. It will look amazing next to sun-kissed skin and is perfect for lunch by the pool.
