There's something about summer heat that makes me not want to layer on 5 strands of my favourite pearls or wear my heaviest diamond earring studs.

Maybe it's the thought of sweat, maybe it's the sunburn I'm sporting, or maybe it's simply the fact that I've always believed summer to be the time when one should wear clothing that's loose and light.

That's why I'm loving Monica Vinader's 18-karat gold-plated earrings.

The patterned coin drop disc adds just enough depth to make these earrings exciting. They'd be an easy and elegant addition to pretty much any outfit. The hook and fastening at the ear means they'll put at work and play, and the light-weight gold-plating means they're perfect for this summer season.
