Dainty or chunky? That is the question. I recently went to a jewelry trade show in Los Angeles, and I was pleasantly surprised by all the chunky statement jewelry that women were flocking to. They were also flocking to cultural chunky pieces from Chinese to African jewelry to Irish jewelry pieces. I guess cultural chunky jewelry never goes out of style because it is just simply timeless. But statement jewelry on the other hand, is a different story. The "it" jewelry is dainty jewelry. I've seen women wearing layered dainty jewelry, and I have seen women wearing just one dainty necklace. You see it all over, in the stores and in the magazines. I do wear dainty jewelry (I like to dress for the occasion), but I can honestly say, my favorite is chunky jewelry. Before the term "statement jewelry" became a household term, I was wearing "statement jewelry" and didn't even know it!
I still see women wearing statement jewelry. Check out the recent fashion week shows. The models where wearing chunky statement pieces. I was watching a reality TV show last night, and one of the women on the show was wearing a beautiful chunky quartz necklace. Chunky statement jewelry hasn't gone anywhere, there's a new girl in town, and her name is "Dainty."
Although trends may come and go, the bottom line is to be true to yourself. If you like dainty jewelry, rock it like you are on the catwalk, if you prefer chunky statement jewelry, rock it like you are on the catwalk. Do you and have fun!
