As is the case with many scandalous, trashy reality TV shows or most episodes of Sex & The City, sometimes the edited version just isn’t as good, and this season’s jewelry trends are catching on to that wise piece of knowledge. This summer’s crystal jewelry is ditching the glossy, smooth, over-polished look of most traditional baubles and going with raw, rough-cut stones (or sometimes a combination of the two!) that embrace natural beauty at its finest! The effect is understated yet still glamorous with plenty of shine, making it the perfect toned-down form of bling you can actually incorporate day and night without looking like you’re trying too hard. Clustered stones and chains make for a pretty pendant to rock with a new maxidress, cocktail rings get a edge with rough-cut crystal, or simply glam up a casual swim cover-up with tiered crystals for a cool layered effect!
