The Gold Chain

The Gold Chain

Some of summer’s best pieces are the ones you didn’t know your wardrobe was missing.


This summer, gold has found a new place in the wardrobe. Worn at the waist, draped low across the hips and layered over barely-there bikinis, the gold chain belt has become the finishing touch we keep coming back to.


For Abelia Solaire, that piece is Solara. A delicate gold chain punctuated by sunburst charms and warm amber-toned stones, designed to bring the feeling of jewelry into the swim wardrobe.


And as Solara has made its way from the collection to Abelia Muses around the world, one thing has become clear: the gold chain belt belongs to summer.

The Mood: A Little More Gold


There has always been something about gold and summer. Against sun-warmed skin, it needs very little else.


This season, the focus shifts from jewelry worn around the neck or wrist to pieces that become part of the silhouette itself. A chain skimming the hips brings a different dimension to a bikini, drawing the eye without taking away from the simplicity of the swimwear beneath it.


It is an approach to accessorizing that feels especially suited to the way we dress on vacation. Less about adding more, and more about choosing the one detail that changes the entire look.
