Wearing a chunky necklace can really bring to life an otherwise uninteresting outfit. Everywhere you go, you’ll find the big and chunky look demanding attention, all of them are stylish and fashionable. Regardless of your personal style preferences, there’s a chunky necklace that is just right for you. Forget the tiny and delicate and go for the big and bold look of the chunky necklace.

 Turquoise has appeared in the fashions and cultures of the world for centuries. It seems clear that turquoise has been considered a stone of life and good fortune for thousands of years. It was believed to have healing properties, and regarded as a holy stone, a good-luck-charm or a talisman; it was also worn as protection to ward off the influence of dark and evil powers. Turquoise is also very popular as a token of friendship, since it’s reputed to be responsible for faithfulness and reliable relationships.
With all that being said, it is basically just plain gorgeous and I’m positive that is what draws us all to it, including celebrities.

Vintage Engagement Rings

Whether it’s a real antique or vintage inspired, engagement rings are hopping on the ‘old school’ bandwagon.  Is it the because of the upcoming royal wedding or the desire to share items of family importance ?  Any way you look at it, it’s a beautiful trend I love.   Antique rings can cost as much as $20,000 or more, but vintage inspired will set your guy back a whole lot less.

Not Your Grandmother’s Pearls

Pearls are a fabulous staple to add to your wardrobe, just like the all purpose white blouse or black slacks and pencil skirt.
