Summertime Charms: How to

STYLE BRIGHTON'S BEAUTIFUL CHARMS FOR SUMMERTIME FUN

No one can deny the power of a great accessory, especially when it's playful and holds special meaning for the person who wears it. With summer right around the corner, there's no better time to stock up on some new pieces, including versatile and easy-to-style jewelry!

Lucky for you, Brighton has managed to create the perfect mix of trendy and timeless charms that are sure to become your new go-tos for summer festivities, milestones, and celebrations. Let's take a look at some of the ways you can style Brighton's gorgeous charms this summer.

GRADUATION GOODIES

Graduation season is upon us, which means that a whopping three-million students will be donning a cap and gown in the next few weeks. If you happen to be one of those accomplished grads (or know someone who is), then you'll want to check out Brighton's line of graduation charms.

The contents of each charm gift set may vary, depending on which one you choose, but they all come with celebratory, graduation-themed items. For starters, there's the "Enjoy Life" charm set, which includes an inspiring and powerful "Live Your Life" charm, reminding the new grad to pursue their passions. Some add-on charm options include the "graduation tassel" and "congrats" charms, both of which are perfect for celebrating this momentous occasion.

If you're seeking a more unconventional way to honor the new grad, you can always go for a "Shoot for the Moon" charm or a grad bear bead. The former is a great way to encourage the graduates in your life to aim high and chase after their dreams, while the latter is simply too adorable to ignore.

WEDDING WONDERS

It's no secret that summer is the most popular time of year to tie the knot. In fact, June, July, and August account for almost 40% of all weddings. Chances are, you probably have at least one wedding to attend (if not more) in the upcoming months. You may even be getting married yourself!

Giving and wearing wedding-themed bracelet charms is the ideal way to enjoy the celebrations while also paying tribute to the joyous occasion. You can wear a wedding-themed charm bracelet on your wedding day, share the charms with your bridal party, or gift the bride a charm bracelet for her bridal shower.

The "Just Married" charm is a good place to start, as it's both joyful and sentimental. This classic phrase should be accompanied by a "wedding cake" or "bells" charm, both of which make for delightful additions to any bracelet.

Other notable contenders include champagne glasses and flower bouquet charms, as they add a touch of elegance and sophistication. These can be worn on their own or paired with other charms to create a unique ensemble.

FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVITIES

Fourth of July is a time to come together and celebrate all the things that make America special. From hot dogs and hamburgers to fireworks and parades, there's no shortage of summer-themed activities to enjoy. One of our favorite ways to celebrate Fourth of July is to wear red, white, and blue charms. The "Hearts & Stripes" charm is a great way to show appreciation for your country. You may opt for the rectangular-shaped flag or go for a more unique design in the form of a heart. Whichever route you choose, you can't go wrong with a little bit of patriotic flair.

"KICKING-BACK" CHARMS

After a busy summer of weddings, graduations, and barbecues, there will come a time when all you want to do is kick back and relax. But who's to say you can't do that in style?

The "Tiki Drink" charm is undoubtedly the star of the show when it comes to relaxation. This tiny cocktail is a perfect summer souvenir, with its ocean blue hues and cheeky umbrella.

For a fruitier take on your accessories, Brighton also offers an "Aloha Pineapple" charm. This juicy little number features a realistic pineapple design, complete with green leaves and a golden finish. Embracing the Hawaiian serenity has never been easier.

And lastly, you can't have a summer-themed bracelet without a few coastal elements. The anchor charms are perfect for fans of maritime culture, offering a subtle nod to the sea. Ship wheel inspired designs are also a popular choice, with their unique shape and vintage appeal creating a one-of-a-kind look.

A few key Brighton charms can help you enjoy the summer season in style. Whether you're celebrating a graduation, attending a wedding, or simply soaking up the sun, these beautiful trinkets are sure to add a little extra something to your already perfect summer.
