Summer Jewelry: The Art'emi Collection That Accompanies the Season

Summer changes the way we dress, and also how we adorn ourselves. Shoulders are bare, forearms too, sometimes ankles. Jewelry follows this trend: finer, easier to layer, able to stay on the skin from morning to night, at the beach or on the terrace. Art'emi's summer collection is based on this idea, for women, men, teens, and children: lightweight pieces in 925 silver and 18-carat gold, designed in the Ixelles workshop to get through the season without weighing you down.

The Drop, in Solid Silver and Mother-of-Pearl

Artémi Vasilakis's very first collection was called "drop": jewelry inspired precisely by a drop of water. This motif has remained the guiding thread of the brand since what is now called the Art'emi touch. This summer, it comes in solid silver and mother-of-pearl, two materials that capture light differently: silver for a bright shine, mother-of-pearl for softer reflections that change depending on the angle and sunlight.

Wearing a drop of water on your neck or wrist during the season when you are near the sea or a pool is no coincidence.

Enamel, the Summer’s Touch of Color

Another key piece of the collection: enamel jewelry. Silver and gold play the card of sobriety; enamel brings color—a green, a blue, an orange—that directly evoke the season. These are pieces that stand out from a distance on a summer outfit, without being flashy: the finish remains delicate, set on 925 silver with the same care as the rest of the collection.

Silver and Gold Designed for Everyday Wear

Sweat, sunscreen, seawater, sand: summer is unforgiving to fragile jewelry. The collection therefore relies on materials that last. 925 silver, or solid silver, does not oxidize. 18-carat gold adds a warmer touch, which is especially loved for sunny days.

The two go well together. You often see a fine silver necklace paired with a gold ring, or several bracelets of different materials layered on the wrist during summer. There really is no need to choose sides between the two.

Stones That Tell the Story of Summer

Turquoise, deep and luminous, directly recalls the sea. Agate and tourmaline bring earthier shades that stand out beautifully on tanned skin. Set in 925 silver or 18-carat gold, these fine stones give character to a piece of jewelry without overdoing it.

Pendants, rings, bracelets, earrings: each piece in the collection can feature one of these stones, depending on the desired style.

A Collection for the Whole Family

Summer is not just for women at Art'emi. For men, there are more understated pieces: ID bracelets, signet rings, solid silver bracelets designed to last despite sand and salt. Teens have access to a customizable collection, always in solid silver, where they choose the color of the cord themselves (star, denim blue, taupe, pink) according to their mood and outfits. For children, pieces adjusted to their small size, sturdy, also with the option of name engraving.

Personalization Always Possible

As all year round at Art'emi, every purchase can be personalized with a free engraving, done within 24 hours in the Brussels engraving workshop. A vacation date, shared initials, a name, GPS coordinates of a meaningful place: summer often gives one more reason to fix a memory on a piece of jewelry. The workshop engraves silver, gold, or stone, and can engrave jewelry you already own as well as those bought at Art'emi.

Custom Creations, Designed at the Ixelles Workshop

For a truly unique piece, Art'emi also offers a custom creation service. Everything takes place at 63 rue Joseph Stallaert, 1050 Ixelles. Artémi Vasilakis, graduate of the Brussels Academy of Arts and the Antwerp Gemology Institute (HRD), personally designs each model from noble materials: silver, gold, vermeil, leather, coral, wood, or natural cotton according to desires. Rather than choosing an existing piece, some prefer to have one designed that will exist nowhere else.

How to Care for Summer Jewelry

Jewelry is put to the test in summer. A practical tip: remove your jewelry before swimming; saltwater and chlorinated water damage silver and gold over time. Also avoid direct contact with sunscreen or chemicals, and store the jewelry in its box rather than at the bottom of a beach bag.

If a piece has lost its shine by the end of the season, the Ixelles workshop offers cleaning and polishing at an affordable price.

Order Online or Visit the Workshop

The entire collection is available online, with free delivery throughout Belgium. For those who prefer to try before buying, the Ixelles atelier-boutique is open Monday to Saturday, easily accessible from Saint-Gilles, Forest, Etterbeek, the Sablon, or the Dansaert district. Engraving can even be done on-site, over a coffee.

A Word from Artémi

"The beautiful days are back, and with them the desire for lighter jewelry, simpler to wear every day. That’s what I wanted for this collection: pieces you put on in the morning without thinking, and keep on until the evening." That, I believe, best defines summer jewelry at Art'emi: not really seasonal accessories to be put away in September. Rather, pieces that stay, year after year, in the same lovely jewelry box.
