Summer Strand Collection - The Story

The Summer Strand Collection celebrates the joy of being in, on, and around water. From watching seabirds soar on thermal winds, to splashing in the surf, collecting beach pebbles, or sharing sunset cocktails, the collection captures the simple pleasures that bring profound joy.

Inspired by these moments, Nicole van der Wolf translates the feeling of water, sunlight, and playful movement into sculptural jewellery. Every piece is carefully handcrafted in Dublin using 14k gold, delicate gemstones, and lost-wax techniques to create understated yet sophisticated forms.

The collection ranges from gem-set necklaces and bold hoop earrings with flowing aviary-inspired forms, to a statement ring and elegant, lightweight chains. Many pieces include versatile clasps that allow multiple chains to be linked, letting the wearer adjust lengths to suit any outfit or occasion. The ethereal chains and delicate drops catch the summer sun, sparkling like sunlight dancing on water.

Summer Strand is designed to be part of your everyday life — effortless, playful, and refined. Whether lounging poolside, wandering the beach, or enjoying a sunset drink, these pieces are expressive yet understated, offering a casual luxury that is unmistakably personal.
