Beaches. Remember those? While most Londoners have been lucky to catch a glimpse of the Thames — let alone actual sand — this year, the slither of possibility that a holiday may yet (whisper it) be on the cards this summer is an unbearably tempting one.

For now, we’ll settle for a little slice of vacay action. Beach-ready jewellery is one way to get your fix.

Like the joy of discovering an ice-cream van in socially distanced operation at the end of a long walk, or waking your swimsuit our of hibernation for a balcony sunbathing session, a little seashell necklace can prove a lockdown summer mood lifter.

Instagram favourite Talis Chains is your go-to for bang-on-trend sunglasses chains, while all of Mathe’s Grecian summer-inspired bead necklaces are handmade in Greece.

On the high street, & Other Stories and Zara are also brimming with accessories akin to holiday mementos. Hop on board.
