Summer is when you go for tops that are loose around your neck, which is one of the best ways to beat the heat. Hence this is the perfect time to wear colorful and flashy necklaces and collars. Not only will you be able to transform a simple and basic top into a stylish outfit but the recent years have seen the burgeoning of fabulous necklaces that are flamboyant in every way.

A great place to start looking for the finest necklaces this season is from the collection of Assad Mounser. A New York jewelry designer, Mounser has worked with big names in the fashion world before launching her own ensemble in 2009. Her inspiration is from the 70s glam rock culture, which resulted in bohemian-style necklaces.



This Shiprock Collar in bright green and various shades of aqua blue is a personal favorite. The neon cording and hand-sewn glass beads are a mix of tribal and casual chic style.
