7 Stone-Spangled Jewels for the Fourth of July

Share

Independence Day is a time to celebrate with unabashed American pride—and the celebration extends to fine jewelry styling. Whether attending a backyard barbecue, coastal clambake, fireworks display, festive parade, or some combination of July Fourth events, you can sport your Stars and Stripes through stone-spangled jewels. And they’re the perfect way to add a touch of patriotism to any look without committing to a full ensemble.

There are plenty of jewels that show Fourth of July spirit, with either overt symbols (an American flag brooch, for example) or design details (the necklace of coral, pearl, and lapis lazuli pictured above). Even pieces from the past, such as a Victorian diamond and sapphire star on an antique gold chain, feel relevant today.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best red, white, and blue jewelry on the market—including the aforementioned pieces—to wear for the upcoming holiday.
