Shades of Summer

May 30

Red, white hot, and blue

Why hello, Memorial Day Weekend. So glad you and the unofficially official start of summer have arrived. The obvious next steps? Get pedi-ready, dig out your favorite shorts, and accessorize à la Americana—with red, white, and blue gems. After all, 'tis the season of baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie. Get festive with flag-inspired, tri-colored rings and necklaces. Or take a more subtle patriotic approach: Layer red bracelets and baubles with white earrings (diamonds or pearls will do) and a sparkly twist of blue. You get the idea.

We're showing our love for the stars and stripes—and summer—with the beauties below.

P.S. — Before you can say "weekend BBQ," the Fourth of July will be here (a good reason to keep these in rotation!).
