The BON TON Guide to Nantucket Style
The BON TON Guide to Nantucket Style
Jewelry for salt air, garden parties, summer light, and the island we never stop dreaming about.
There are places that never really leave you.
Nantucket is one of them.
It is more than an island. It is a way of living. Weathered shingles, climbing roses, hydrangeas spilling over white fences, bicycles leaning against garden gates, baskets filled with beach towels, books bought on impulse, and evenings that seem to stretch beautifully from cocktails into dinner.
At BON TON goods, we often return to Nantucket in our imagination when thinking about summer style. It represents so much of what we love: timeless craftsmanship, natural elegance, beautiful materials, and pieces that become part of your life rather than simply part of an outfit.
This season, our Nantucket edit brings together jewelry by Mikkel Brøgger that feels made for summer: luminous pearls, sea-washed blues, soft pinks, warm gold, garden greens, and gemstones that carry the feeling of long days by the water.
Morning Light
Begin with pieces that catch the light beautifully. Mother of pearl, aquamarine, and soft gemstones feel especially right with a crisp white shirt, a linen dress, or a sweater thrown over the shoulders before walking into town.
Mother of Pearl Drop Earrings bring the shimmer of shells, salt air, and summer skin.
Pebble Earrings with Aquamarine feel sea-touched and sky-colored, perfect for days that begin near the water and end at dinner.
The Garden Party
Nantucket gardens have their own language: roses, hydrangeas, lavender, bees, and paths that seem to lead naturally toward a table set outside. These are the pieces we imagine worn to a summer lunch, a gallery opening, or a late afternoon gathering under striped umbrellas.
Honey Bee Ring is a golden nod to garden paths, wild roses, and the small details that make summer memorable.
The Sconset Necklace is joyful, colorful, and sun-drenched, inspired by coastal gardens in bloom and late summer evenings.
Apple Green Quartz Earrings bring a fresh, orchard-bright note to linen, cotton, and summer whites.
Afternoon by the Water
Some jewelry feels elemental: gold, pearl, stone, texture. These are the pieces we would wear with bare feet on a porch, a straw basket nearby, and the sound of the sea somewhere in the distance.
Baroque Pearl Necklace is luminous and irregular, with the character of something shaped by nature.
Pebble Gold Necklace is warm, textured, and endlessly wearable.
Pebble Gold Bracelet has the perfect weight, a piece to wear all summer and never overthink.
Sunset Color
As the day turns golden, color becomes richer. Rose quartz, orange quartz, fluorite, and tourmaline bring the feeling of sherbet skies, garden flowers, and cocktails under string lights.
Honey & Pink Opal Necklace glows with the warmth of late summer.
Madagascan Rose Quartz Earrings bring the soft blush of a Nantucket sunset.
Orange and Rose Quartz Necklace feels like the sky just before dusk.
Fluorite Drop Earrings are translucent, shifting, and full of summer color.
Jewelry with a Sense of Place
The best summer jewelry should feel easy to wear but impossible to forget. It should travel beautifully, work with linen and cotton, and move naturally from beach walks to dinner, from a garden party to a ferry ride home.
Sea Blue Arrow Ring points toward the horizon with blue tourmaline and diamonds.
Tahitian Drop Pendant holds the depth and mystery of the ocean in a single drop.
That is the heart of Nantucket style for us: not costume, not trend, but atmosphere. A life of beautiful materials, personal objects, salt air, gardens, books, tables, and pieces chosen because they carry a memory.
At BON TON goods, we believe jewelry should tell that kind of story.
