You can take this jewellery trend at face value

Anyone who honours the cents this summer is worth twice as much francs. Coins dangling from jewellery are the trend of the moment.
Normally, I avoid small change as it not only makes my wallet heavier, but also bulges it. It's a different story with coins, which are adorning necklaces, earrings and bracelets this season. I can't get enough of them. My favourite pendants are those that are reminiscent of antique gold coins. Circular medallions embossed with a letter, star sign, head, cross or patron saint are also on trend. This turns your piece of jewellery into a lucky charm.
Because this trend looks particularly beautiful against lightly tanned skin, fashion experts such as Danish stylist Jeanette Friis Madsen not only wear it with low-cut blouses and dresses, but also with swimwear. If you plan to do the same with your favourite model, you will have to dig a little deeper into your pocket, as only real jewellery is suitable for the pool. Fashion jewellery discolours when it comes into contact with sun cream, sweat, chlorine or salt water.
Onion look
My favourite way to wear my coin necklace is layered with other gold necklaces of different lengths. While I wear a slightly shorter chain with a V pendant, influencer Aimee Song opts for a double coin combination. What I like about her look is that the coins are not the same size and one model is oval. This makes the look anything but boring.
Blogger Julie Sariñana, on the other hand, proves that less can be more. She has chosen a large model so that her coin doesn't go under. If that's too boring for you, then draw from the full and play with different models with shells, letters or pearls dangling from them. By focussing on either earrings or necklaces, you can avoid looking like a Christmas tree. Bangles, on the other hand, can be combined well with both.
What if the summer comes to an end? I will remain faithful to my coin necklace as it has become my talisman. That's why I never take it off. I even wear it to sleep. I'm lucky that it's so versatile. It not only goes with my summer wardrobe, but also with a white T-shirt, which I combine with a trench coat in autumn. This way, I always carry summer, my favourite season, with me.
When I’m not exploring the depths of the sea as an open water diver, I enjoy plunging into the world of fashion. On the streets of Paris, Milan and New York is where I keep my eyes peeled for the latest trends. And I’ll show you how to take them from the catwalk to your everyday life.
