How to Accessorize for a White Party: Jewelry Styling Tips From LOLA & Company
Summer in New England means long weekends, dockside sunsets, and - of course - white parties. Whether you're headed to a coastal fundraiser, a garden soirée, or a chic rooftop gathering, white parties are a warm-weather tradition that bring people together in celebration of sunshine, community, and timeless style. But while the dress code might be strict (hello, all-white everything), that doesn’t mean your look has to blend into the crowd.
If anything, an all-white outfit creates the perfect blank canvas to express your personality - especially through your accessories. At LOLA & Company, we believe your jewelry should tell a story. Whether it’s a nod to your favorite summer place or a symbol of inner strength, each pendant is more than just a pretty finishing touch. It’s a conversation starter. A mood-setter. A little glimmer of meaning that turns “you look great” into “tell me more.”
So before you RSVP "yes," let’s break down how to accessorize for a white party—with styling tips and handpicked favorites from our Summer Favorites Collection (featuring the ever-stylish Alpine White enamel).
⚓ Start With a Classic: Anchor in Alpine White
There’s something inherently New England about an anchor. For a white party with coastal charm, start with the Anchor Pendant in Alpine White - a symbol of resilience, hope, and steady strength.
This design pairs beautifully with a breezy eyelet dress, a structured jumpsuit, or even a linen button-down for a more tailored vibe. Available in both sterling silver and 24K gold plating, it brings that pop of shine your all-white outfit is craving.
Styling Tip: Wear it as a standalone on a medium chain, or layer it with a dainty choker or shorter link necklace for subtle texture. Pair with espadrilles and a soft wave in your hair, and you’ve nailed “effortless elegance.”
🧭 The Guiding Light: Compass Rose in Alpine White
For those attending a white party during a season of change or transition, the Compass Rose Pendant is the perfect symbolic accessory. Representing guidance, courage, and direction, this piece reminds you to follow your own true north - even if the evening’s agenda includes nothing more than oysters and Aperol spritz.
The crisp Alpine White enamel against a silver base feels refined and polished, adding just enough contrast to an otherwise monochromatic outfit.
Styling Tip: Try the Large size on a longer chain and pair it with a Mini pendant for a layered look that feels personal and intentional.
🦀 Seaside Style: Crab in Alpine White
White parties and crab boils might not usually go together, but if your soirée is happening anywhere near the water, then this playful Crab Pendant is right at home.
The crab is a sweet and subtle nod to coastal traditions, representing home, comfort, and memory-making. It’s also a fun conversation starter, especially if you're feeling nostalgic for summers past.
Styling Tip: Layer with other ocean-inspired pieces like the Shell or Sand Dollar pendants (more on those below) for a beachy cluster of treasures.
🧜♀️ Make Waves: Mermaid in Alpine White
Want to bring some goddess energy to the party? The Mermaid Pendant is all about divine feminine strength and flowing with your own current. With its gentle white enamel and graceful silhouette, this pendant radiates quiet power.
It’s the kind of piece that whispers “watch me” without shouting, making it perfect for a more elegant evening affair, whether on the lawn or on the water.
Styling Tip: Pair it with a silky wrap dress and layered chain bracelets to evoke that dreamy, golden-hour glow.
🐙 Bold and Beautiful: Octopus in Alpine White
If you’re in the mood to make a statement, the Octopus Pendant is ready to help. Featuring blue topaz eyes and intricate detailing, it’s a standout accessory with a deeper meaning: intelligence, adaptability, and quiet strength.
Available in multiple sizes, this piece lets you go as bold- or as understated- as you’d like. We especially love it for yacht parties or venues where nautical flair meets high-end fashion.
Styling Tip: Let the pendant shine on its own or layer with minimalist pieces in gold to elevate the contrast. Bonus points if your outfit includes tailored white shorts and a crisp blouse.
🌾 Naturally Elegant: Sand Dollar in Alpine White
Few motifs capture the essence of summer quite like a sand dollar. The Sand Dollar Pendant in Alpine White is delicate yet strong, a perfect representation of transformation, peace, and connection to nature.
In gold with subtle white enamel, it practically glows against sun-kissed skin and white linen. If your white party leans into laid-back elegance, this piece belongs on your guest list.
Styling Tip: Wear with a flowing white maxi and metallic sandals for a look that moves with the breeze and catches the light.

Each one celebrates the special connection we have to place, memory, and tradition. They’re perfect for beach towns, backyard barbecues, or as a subtle nod to “where you summer.”

White on White Done Right
The beauty of Alpine White enamel is that it doesn’t disappear against your white outfit. It adds a soft glow, a hint of dimension, and a whole lot of charm. Whether you mix metals, layer pendants, or go solo with a single meaningful piece, there’s no wrong way to style white-on-white.
