Big and Bold, Long and Layered

What’s hot…longer necklaces! It was all about chokers yesterday. Today its all about being longer. Layering swags of beads or longer chains with pendants.

One Bold Piece

One big bold statement is what’s HOT. No more matchy, matchy. The days of having everything in a coordinated set are OVER. The look of the moment is one bold piece that says it all. A pair of really big earrings, a cuff or a great necklace will say whatever needs to be said, just not at the same time! Pair a bold piece with more understated matches. You know, pair classic diamond studs with an amazing gold cuff bracelet. If you’re wearing a fabulous pair of large earrings, dare to leave the necklace at home.

Layers upon Layers

If big and bold isn’t your thing…then layers are where its at! Stacks of rings, bracelets and necklaces. If you have a couple of smaller rings, stack them for a new take on a cocktail ring. The same goes for bracelets and skinny necklaces. Everything layered gives that bold statement that’s de riguer. It’s a great look, especially if they don’t line up perfectly…messy chic!

Everything Longer

All of a sudden, the length of choice for necklaces has gotten longer. Really longer! The 16 inch choker we all grew accustomed to as our staple, has grown up. We are now looking at 18, 20, and 24 inches as that new perfect length. To add to that, try a super long chain with a stunning pendant. That 70’s retro look you might remember is back. Long chains with a cool pendant will be the perfect winter sweater accessory.
