Gold is the color of summer. There is no beach, terrace or July evening look that isn't improved by the right pair of gold earrings. But with so many options — hoops, drops, florals, starfish — it's not always easy to know what to wear.
That's what this guide is for.
Gold hoops: the basic that goes with everything
A gold hoop is the most versatile piece you can own. Small 12mm hoops go with absolutely everything: a swimsuit with a sarong, a linen shirt, a summer office look. They don't compete with anything and add effortless style.
If you want more presence, thick 40mm hoops work with clean necklines and hair up. The key is letting the piece be the protagonist: a large hoop needs a simple look around it.
General rule: the bigger the hoop, the cleaner the rest of the look.
Starfish earrings: the beach look
Starfish-shaped earrings have something others don't: they tell a story. They're large, textured and take you straight to the Mediterranean.
Pair them with a white or navy dress, a cami top and linen trousers, or a swimsuit and sarong at the beach. Avoid combining them with other statement earrings or elaborate necklaces. The starfish does the work; everything else is too much.
Floral earrings: the romantic touch
Floral earrings — especially those with translucent petals — change appearance depending on the light. In sunlight, the petals shimmer and shift in tone. At night, the effect is more subtle and elegant.
They work beautifully with dresses in solid colors or small prints, monochrome looks in white, cream or nude, and hair down or in a soft updo. Don't pair them with an elaborate necklace; a thin gold chain is all they need.
How to build a look: the rule of three
If you want to combine earrings, necklace and bracelet without it looking too much, follow this rule:
Choose one statement piece — your most eye-catching earring. Add two supporting pieces that are more discreet — a thin chain, a small hoop, a minimalist bracelet. Keep everything in the same finish — gold with gold.
For example: large starfish earrings + thin gold chain necklace + gold bangle bracelet. A complete, coordinated look, effortlessly.
Summer and water
A very common question: can I wear my gold earrings in the sea? With stainless steel jewelry, yes. Stainless steel doesn't react to salt water and maintains its gold finish. Pieces with natural stones, shells or pearls are more delicate — for swimming, stick to hoops or pure steel styles.
At NAIA, all our pieces are made for real life — for the beach, the terrace and everyday moments. No need to take them off.
