Chain Link

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I'm feeling a little edgy this morning. Monday's aren't always hearts and flowers so I thought we would look at something that may match our moods. These chain necklaces make a statement without bling or color.

BaubleBar, Chainmaille Bib, $68

Kind of regal and kind of Rihanna, am I right?

Lord and Taylor, Kenneth Cole Silver Tone Geometric Multi Chain Necklace, $55

My favorite part of this necklace is something you don't notice right away: the right and left strands don't match. Just when you thought the bib stole the show, this necklace is full of surprises.

Bloomingdale's, Aqua Multichain Torsade Necklace, $58

Talk about mixed media. This is a work of art.

Urban Outfitters, Taza Leather Chain Statement Necklace, $58

Tired of the bibs? How about this statement piece. Chain, coin, and fringe. So much awesome.

These necklaces are making a big statement for under $70. Go heavy, go bib, you can't go wrong.

Edgy vs. Sweet

There is something so sweet and feminine about a ribbon. And there is something so cold and edgy about a chain.  Put them together and you get a great piece of jewlery.

Sequin, Hermatite Ribbon Chain Necklace, $20

I really like the simplicity of this necklace, very easy to mix with outfits.

Max and Chloe, Ben-Amun Ribbon Bracelet, $95

I love this! It's just the right weight and the ribbon also comes in green.

Asos, Kitson Stripe Earring, $22

These are flashy and great for jeans and heels.

Juicy Couture, War of Love, $78

Oh I love this color combination. And the bling is so understated.

Ribbon and chain, who would have thought?

Chain Link and Confident

Sometimes hardware can be just that: hard.  But sometimes it can offer a certain sense of weight that gives an accessory a confident presence.  We see this most often with large jewelry- take for instance the larger masculine style watches that are in right now.  When you look at them, they seem hefty, but still sleek and sophisticated on a woman.

Today I want to feature a similar situation with a type of jewelry style that is popular right now: chain link.

Blue Fly, Danielle Stevens ellipse link bracelet, $66

SO sophisticated.  But it demands some confident attention. 

Piperlime, Hive & Honey chain link bracelet, $28

I really like the mix of metal here, makes the piece eye catching.

Juicy Couture, Convertible chain bracelet, $30

I really love this double duty necklace/bracelet! So fun with jeans or a white button down.

Banana Republic, Fringed link earring, $35

These are so feminine but in a 'I just threw these on' kind of way.

Some jewelry is meant to be delicate while other styles aim to make a harsher statement.  Chain link style is definitely making that a priority.  Try mixing it with silk or softer colors to contrast the metal.
