There’s just something magical about summer fashion. When the days stretch long and golden, we trade heavy layers for breezy fabrics, sandy toes, and jewelry that sparkles under the sun. And if there’s one accessory that perfectly captures the essence of summer 2025, it’s beaded anklets and bracelets, especially those made in the spirit of the "Coastal Cowgirl" aesthetic.
Let’s explore this rising trend and how you can create your own summer-ready pieces with Jewelry Made By Me.
Why Beaded Anklets and Bracelets Are the Must-Have Summer Accessories
Beaded jewelry has always had an easy, playful charm. But this summer, they’re more than just cute additions to your beach look. They’re a statement, one of creativity, freedom, and personal style. Anklets and bracelets, in particular, are ideal for showing off those sun-kissed ankles and wrists during beach days, music festivals, and sunset dinners.
Plus, the DIY jewelry trend is booming. Social media is brimming with handmade styles that showcase individuality and craftsmanship. When you make your own pieces, you’re not just keeping up with trends, you’re creating them.
Introducing the Coastal Cowgirl Vibe
Think beach meets the Wild West. The Coastal Cowgirl aesthetic combines denim shorts and boots with seashell necklaces and turquoise stones. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and beachy freedom, and it’s taking over Instagram and TikTok.
This style lends itself perfectly to handmade jewelry. Beads in ocean blues and sandy neutrals, accented with metallic charms or tiny cowgirl hats, can bring the whole look together. Whether you’re line-dancing at a beach bonfire or lounging at a coastal cafe, your jewelry can tell the story of your summer.
