New Trend.... Two big pearls on a chain

[NacreLover]

Lynne Cheney was on Fox news talking about her new book. She was wearing a chain with two huge pearls at the front. Since then I am seeing other ladies on TV wearing this look. Have you seen it and is it you?

 

[Confection10]

I haven't seen before and definately it's not for me...

 

[bsomlo]

TWO pearls for Confection -- never!

I would only consider trying this style if the pearls were real.

 

[Confection10]

bsomlo; You got the point. And not for me if there were a whole strand either. This size is too much, even for me

 

[Pattye]

Oh, I thought they'd be hanging down, lariat style, at the end of a chain, slightly different lengths. What a surprise! Probably imitation, and not asymmetrically balanced either, to my eyes. Thumbs down on this design. She needs a new stylist.

Pattye, A few days later I saw a young woman 20s-30s on TV wearing something similar on a link chain at the throat. That's when I figured this was not a one of a kind look on Lynne.

I think this style could work for a younger lady with a playful dressing style. But this way... NO.

NL, yes, I recall seeing a report or blog about a designer doing these over the top pearl looks. Oh, found it over on the other pearl forum~the gigantic imitation pearls are from Chanel! New styles for spring 2014. Not for me, though I love large!

 

[NacreLover]

WOW! You aren't kidding.

 

[mynattk]

yuck

 

[dk168]

It looks weird and does nothing for me.

[HHPmom]

Is Karl out of his mind? I wouldn't wear them even if they were real.

 

[bsomlo]

Okay, now they look like either breasts under the chin, or uneven bulging eyeballs under the chin.

 

[dk168]

Add something long in the middle of the two pearls ...

[Jcat]

I'm not a fan of that look either! It doesn't look classy, just odd.

 

[katbran]

Nope...not only is it unattractive but it's probably 1000$

 

[YC]

Yikes...... pretty ugly.....
Obviously faux and so big it looks unbalanced.

 

[Pearlescence]

It's new, different and on the covers. Lots of sales to gormless fashion no brains who will snap them up even though they are just cheap imitation pearls on a bit of fabric.
The big myth about these fashion mags is that they set the trend. They don't. They cover only what is big bucks advertised with them. Only 1%, if that, of the editorial contains anything which is from a source which doesn't have a few full colour full page display ads

After seeing the magazine covers... I take my words back. NO ONE should wear those.

 

[pkinnew]

I really don't think that's for me!

 

[michellechan2211]

As a younger person, I must say that the only time I would only wear 2 pearls is on an asymmetrical lariat. DEFINITELY not like that, imho....XD;

 

[baby monster]

I'm not a fan of this look either. I've been seeing it everywhere on TV and magazines - must be a new trend for statement necklaces.

 

[Fly Girl]

I skip a lot of trends that are not for me. This is one of them.

"This too shall pass."

 

[HHPmom]

Nope...not only is it unattractive but it's probably 1000$

Haha it's $1950 USD. There is one that looks like a headphone.

 

[canuk-gal]

Hi;

No thanks.

[ltlmsmfft]

Those are just awful. They don't even come off as high fashion, they just look odd and wrong.

 

[canuk-gal]

Okay, now they look like either breasts under the chin, or uneven bulging eyeballs under the chin.

Goiter was my first thought.

Ditto. I think a lot of younger people have not seen untreated goiter, which used to be more common than it is today. I remember when I was young seeing older people with those large neck growths.

 

[baby nurse]

My 5 year old looked at one of the pictures and said "Why does she have a bum on her neck?"

 

[ckrickett]

I actually don't mind the look, but I wouldn't want to waste perfectly good pearls on a trendy piece of jewelry. I'd probably buy something like that for costume around 30-100 dollars and wear it twice...... I'd rather use them as some stunning pendants!!!!
