There’s a certain kind of magic that only summer brings. The days stretch longer, everything slows down just a little and somehow life feels a bit more golden.

Postcards from Summer is a collection inspired by the kind of memories you find yourself coming back to. That feeling of carefree days spent in the sun, where the salt stays in your hair, your phone stays on silent and the little moments that become big memories.

Postcards from Summer is not just about the old-school kind you send in the post, but the snapshots saved on your phone, the ones that instantly take you back to a feeling, the kind of moments you want to bottle up and keep forever. 

The Inspiration

At the start of this campaign, my moodboard was made entirely from pictures I’ve taken on holidays and adventures over the years - my own “postcards” from summer. It’s the places I’ve been, the beaches I’ve loved, the little details that stuck with me. All those images that live in your camera roll but carry a whole feeling with them. That’s where this collection started.

The Collection

From the beginning, the goal with Ocean Native has always been to design jewellery that works together - pieces you can mix, match, layer and live in. This collection is no different. 

Everything was created to sit seamlessly alongside the Ocean Native pieces you already know & love - whether that’s stacking rings, layering necklaces or adding subtle touches of colour as our way of bringing summer into your every day.

I wanted the pieces to be light & dainty - pieces you could wear every day without even thinking, the way the best summer moments happen without you realising. Each piece is waterproof and tarnish-free, built to live with you from sunrise to sunset and everywhere in between. 

Ocean Native is about building your collection over time, finding new ways to style what you love and making it feel like your own. Nothing’s too precious or too planned - just easy, effortless pieces that all belong together.

And at the heart of it all is always our mantra: Stay Wild.

Stay Wild

To us, that’s not just a tagline. It’s about diving headfirst into the adventure, saying yes to the spontaneous, riding the wave when things don’t go as planned. Stay wild means embracing the messy, beautiful, sun-soaked moments that make life rich. It means jewellery that moves with you, not something you have to protect or fuss over. Just put it on and go.

This collection was built around the idea of postcards – capturing the mood of the season, not just the destination. So whether your summer looks like beach breaks (though, yes please), busy cities, late sunsets or quiet moments, this collection is designed to go with you on those days.

Postcards from Summer is your reminder to slow down, take it all in, and soak up the moments you’ll want to look back on — the ones that feel like summer, every time.

This one’s for the dreamers, the beach-lovers, the golden hour chasers.

Stay wild, always.
