Trend: Heavy Jewelry

Personally, I dislike wearing a lot of jewelry, even certain earrings I refuse to wear. In fashion, heavy jewelry is very in. Earrings that touch your shoulders, bangles the size of half your forearm, enough necklaces to lasso a horse. Here are some gorgeous pieces of jewelry that are sure to have you doing some heavy weight lifting.

Earrings:

 This necklace from Urban Outfitters has a hammered finish and is a great statement piece. The necklace sits pretty high up, so wear a wide necked shirt with this.

Bracelets:

The previous jewelry has pretty much all been gold. What about silver? This one is a great layered cuff from Aqua. Stackable and simple, these will be bold and elegant at the same time.

Troy Burch Bamboo Bangle

From Troy Burch, the king of jewelry. This chunky bangle is made of brazilian wood and offers a different look than the traditional metal bangles. Instead of stacking, just wear this single bracelet as a statement piece.

This peach-gold bracelet is from Forever 21. The detail is pretty and the bracelet itself is stretchy to avoid tightness on the wrist. For only $8.

A note on choosing jewelry...
If you are tan, have dark or olive skin go with gold jewelry for a nice look. If you are pale, have light skin or a peachy tone wear silver or white jewelry.

  1. Heavy jewelry can look cool sometimes, but personally I'm not a fan. Having that much metal on your neck or dangling from your ears can get in the way.
