9 Ocean Inspired Jewelry Items For Every Beach Baby And Magical Mermaid This Spring/Summer

Designers are often inspired by the natural world, and some have even created jewelry inspired by the ocean and the world's glorious beaches. With mermaids proving a hot trend right now, it seems everyone is obsessed with nautical fashion and aquatic style. So what better time to give special homage to the deep seas?

Growing up by the sea, I have long since been an avid beach goer and have marveled at the unusual flotsam and jetsam I have found on my local shores. I was delighted to discover that many jewelry artisans are taking a leaf out of fashion designers' books and are creating pieces inspired by our world's wonderful seas and beaches.

This is for all you water babies out there! Dive in to ocean inspired jewelry.
