Big Jewels S/S 07

[Dkammern]

Couldnt figure out if this was already said before (if it was, i'm sorry, feel free to delete this) but i see a trend that I love on big, and often "minimal" jewelry pieces. Huge pearls, coloured crystals and "plastic" chains...
I've seen this in different shows but probably my favorites were the pearls decorating Chanel AH Haute Couture, big crystals also in Marc Jacobs PE07 or huge pearls in Louis Vuitton AH06.
These are some examples. More pictures on style.com (thats where the pics came from)

great trendspotting , love this
the new 'Mininmalism' needs some chunky rocks and chains to get 'fresh'
i believe accessorising will rise to new hights

^Oh no. Everybody will look like christmas trees.

i dont think so.. with chunky crystals, less is more, one doesnt need to pile them on

Some will be tempted. I don't think that the masses get less-is-more

But I do like the idea. Esp the oversized pearls.

 

[plain.jane]

wow... so pretty.
i like those big super oversized ones.. they really look good on the runway

This is pretty great. It may look hard to pull off, but big rocks and pearls and chains add an awesome touch to a simplistic look in my opinion

YAY! CHAINS CHAINS CHAINS, I am chain obsessed! I love crystals too, because it's my Chinese name :laugh

But with accessories, I can't stress this any more, LESS is MORE! I hate it when people look like a x'mas tree.

Even though I'm a guy, but a flameboyant one, I love the trend. I really need to own me some big jewels.

But i have to agree the poster, The_ida, the boho-freaks will competely overdo it.

^ I'm sure you'll work it out to make those huge rocks/chains work with ur style...

by the way, Thanks for the pictures!! MulletProof and jennifer

Although some designers have done this quite well, I really hope this doesn't become a trend. I'm just picturing seeing all these giant rhinestones and plastic pearls walking down the street, and it's not pretty.

i love the big, chunky phase. i couldn't wear them on my clothes because it's simply a phase and it would look nutz in a couple of years. but the accessories i can deal with.

The problem with this look is that it will be copied into hidious cheap looking garbage.

 

[MulletProof]

^that's true. but as long as we get to wear it at the right time.
