While you don’t have a yacht, you might have a yacht rock playlist to make you are feeling such as you’re dwelling an infinite, gin-and-tonic-soaked summer season at sea (in your greatest one-shouldered Halston to point out off that tan).
And when you may’t get to Nantucket, the famously posh island off the coast of Massachusetts, you hit up designer and retailer Katherine Jetter, proprietor of the Vault Nantucket, to search out out what the season is popping up when it comes to traits.
I’ve checked in with Jetter each summer season for not less than the previous few years for: 1) a little bit luxurious contact excessive such that my very own New England environment don’t actually approximate, and a couple of) a way of any traits to observe this fall and vacation.
“Shade is all over the place this summer season,” Jetter tells JCK. “Neon yellow is an enormous hit and it’s making us all so joyful! Cadar feather earrings all the time promote effectively throughout the summer season. Floating diamond necklaces by Graziela are one other nice beachy merchandise.

Different new additions to the shop embrace Dru and Walters Religion.

“Walters Religion are two sisters who after we all began out within the enterprise, we used to do at-home trunk reveals collectively,” says Jetter. “We rediscovered one another this yr, and it was enjoyable to convey my pals again into the combo.”
However maybe essentially the most thrilling “occurring” on island this summer season is the debut of Jetter’s new Girl of the Rings line, a seven-piece signet ring assortment crafted in 18k yellow gold, etched with a novel image, and bordered with baguette diamonds. “By no means earlier than has my work felt so private, and I’m so excited to introduce this assortment to the world,” says Jetter.
Silvia Furmanovich created a customized marquetry field to accommodate the Girl of the Rings assortment in its entirety. Priced at $2,500–$3,800, a portion of the proceeds will likely be donated to the Nantucket Historic Society.
To rejoice the launch of Girl of the Rings—and to welcome designer Fernando Jorge, who flew in from London for a trunk present on the Vault—in July, Jetter organized a particular occasion and trunk present for choose pals and shoppers. The luncheon featured historic jewellery artifacts that had been specifically introduced in by the Nantucket Historic Affiliation’s chief curator, Michael Harrison; Jetter and Jorge joined him and Moda Operandi’s director of fantastic jewellery Abby Huhtanen in a panel dialogue that centered on the historic significance of gifting jewellery to family members and the way journey—and international views—can spark creativity in innumerable varieties.
The Vault Nantucket luncheon was held within the gardens of historic venue the Higher Mild and showcased a number of Jorge’s jewels in addition to items from Jetter’s personal assortment.
And there’s extra merriment to return. Jetter will keep a bustling schedule of in-store occasions by August with a trunk present scheduled for this week (Hoorsenbuhs) and subsequent (Silvia Furmanovich).
“We’re large followers of Silvia Furmanovich [whose earrings are shown above],” says Jetter. Now all I want is a yacht to zip me up the coast. However for now, this dazzling ACK dispatch should do.
