Big Baubles, Big Statements

If we’re going to take one bit of advice from fashion week it’s go big or go home. We saw big baubles walking down the runways of top and emerging designers. Now, statement pieces are anything new, however the past seasons they’ve been pushed to the side in favor of delicate jewelry which one can layer.

Maybe designers were a bit bored with the layered look, but for whatever reason, it gave us plenty of interesting baubles to drool over.

All we know is that this year and this season are the year of the oversized accoutrements. But to distinguish between the statement pieces of then versus today, designers and stylists are mixing and matching statements to create a completely personalized look for the wearer.

We’ve selected a few pieces from our vendors that are big, bold and sure to get you noticed in any setting. Vive le fashion week and vive le statement looks. Now, let’s bring on the gems!

Not all statement looks have to be exceedingly large. We think this ring is a perfect balance between “look at me” and subtlety. It’s the perfect intro into for those who are looking to dip their toes into this year’s biggest jewelry trend.
