Before I got married, I was not much of a big jewelry wearer.
Sure, I owned a few necklaces, but the effort involved in adding them to an outfit before running out the door to work in the morning just never seemed worth it. But as I planned my wedding, I was inspired by the photograph of the beautiful Nicole Miller wedding dress I had chosen to wear; in the glossy magazine picture of the dress, it was styled with a gorgeous chunky necklace.
The picture inspired me to find my own gorgeous chunky necklace to wear with the dress (my wedding was also on a beach). Browsing in my local independent jewelry store one day, I found this blue glass beauty:
On my wedding day, I got so many compliments the necklace, and it made me feel oh so pretty wearing it, that after the fun and glamour of the wedding was over I resolved to incorporate more fun, fabulous, jewelry into my daily wardrobe. And I still wear that necklace often - with a black top and blue skirt it really pulls everything together.
Here are some of the many wonderful necklaces I've seen on Etsy recently. Some of them would be the perfect accompaniment to a wedding dress, and others would be lovely just to jazz up a basic black top and jeans for an evening out. They also make great gifts for bridesmaids.
So, go ahead, embrace the chunky!
