I’ve just returned from Mallorca, Monaco, and Cannes—here are the jewelry trends that are set to make a big impact.

      If you've ever returned from a summer trip to Europe with a camera filled with enchanting beach photos and a suitcase overflowing with new accessories, you’ll resonate with Frasier Sterling founder Frasier Lipton. Recently back from a sun-drenched vacation in Mallorca, Monaco, and Cannes, she took the time to discuss the jewelry trends that dominated her holiday outfits. From artisanal markets hidden in cobblestone streets to striking beachy pieces perfect for both boat outings and dinners, she returned brimming with inspiration—and plenty of new items (and design concepts) in her luggage. Whether you're planning your own getaway or simply want to embody that effortlessly layered, sun-kissed vibe, it's worth taking notes. Lipton revealed the specific trends she embraced while island hopping, sourcing locally, and enjoying the European sunshine. Spoiler alert: Sardine necklaces, vintage clip-ons, and vibrantly colored bangles are definitely on the agenda.

      "Monaco is the hub for designer resort fashion, and this year, mini bags were all the rage. I indulged in the cutest straw Miu Miu mini bag and paired it with a lemon-print designer twilly I bought last summer in Florence, along with a Frasier Sterling lemon clip!" — Lipton

      "Vacations are the perfect opportunity to go all out with accessories! I found myself layering three or four necklaces, adding chunky bangles, and finishing everything off with bold earrings! I mixed items from Frasier Sterling, Éliou, vintage finds, and local pieces I picked up each day, embracing vibrant colors and unexpected combinations." — Lipton

      "Sardines are undeniably the motif of the summer! I wore my Frasier Sterling sardine necklace everywhere. But it didn’t end there—starfish, coral, and shells were also incorporated into all my looks, from the Monte Carlo Beach Club to dining at Cipriani!" — Lipton

      "Once we arrived in Cannes, the sun was shining—and so were the hats! I alternated between a few Frasier Sterling hats and a classic white Ralph Lauren hat. Sun protection, but stylish!" — Lipton

      "Mallorca completely captured my heart! The romance, the views, the charisma—it’s unparalleled. I spent countless hours strolling through cobblestone streets and purchasing items from local artisans. I collected many pieces, but my favorites were two stunning handmade necklaces that I wore almost immediately for a boat day and dinner at Cap Rocat. There's something special about a piece with a backstory." — Lipton

      "I have to give a nod to my vintage Saint Laurent lemon clip-on earrings! I wore them frequently—they were somehow both comfortable and incredibly chic. Vintage items always add a distinctive flair, and these took every outfit to the next level effortlessly." — Lipton
