I'm wanting a wooden necklace, a white necklace, and a neautral bead necklace. I've been playing around with my beads, but I really don't like these. They seem too "craft corner". It's probably the seed beads, I need to come up with a design that doesn't use them, and something more than just stringing them on a line.
kewl, so how do you guys feel about more vintage jewelry?? After the kenneth jay lane bangle featured in lucky, I have a mini-crush on his stuff. It seems to add quirky statement to an otherwise plain outfit.
rocky, I always, always love vintage jewelry. And I like that bangle you posted.
I don't really have anything that I wear more than other things. I make jewelry so I can pretty much have something for almost any outfit, though I do occasionally buy pre-made jewelry. I like to have specific accessories that work for my closet.
That said, I am still very much feeling wood - I'm ready for spring and wood always feels light and summery to me, so I'll be wearing wood jewelry. Also I am jonesing for coral this year. I bought some great beads in February and just have to get time to sit down and see what I want to do with them.

I too love vintage jewelry and kenneth jay lane! I don't think anyone would pick out his stuff for me, but I think it's so awesome.

I think I'm generally going for bigger pieces lately. I just got a great big red coral beaded necklace on eBay and I really want a big turquoise cuff. I'm also looking for a vintage locket and cameo necklace.
Rocky, that KJL bracelet is awesome. I might have to try and find something similar!
I don't really have a specific "type" of jewelry, but I think I like either delicate thought-out simple pieces, or huge chunky pieces, like big stones or the marni necklaces. The things I choose are either organic looking and made from strange materials or gold and silver, or really graphic and have that "pop" to them. I usually make my own jewelry or buy it from smaller designers, at flea markets, etc- i'd rather have an edited selection than too much. Just bought this ring in silver after remembering it from lucky 2 years ago:
i like this rose thorn necklace, even though its small:
Definitely wood. And also other natural materials like coral, shell and mother of pearl. Lots of neutrals. Layering. Combinations of chunky and delicate.
I am so coveting the jewelry by "Femme Fatale". I bought a great ring at a local boutique in Austin, Tx and now I can't get enough of it. Check out the necklaces here. I really want the "N Love Birds" it so cute. if you check out the rings, I bought the "sacred heart" and have gotten tons of compliments. Very cute and easy to wear. I wear my ring (see pic) with my black skinny jeans, long belted tunic, black stilletos, and my hair pulled back in a slick ponytail, with a little height on the top of my head . Very 80's rocker...
OooOOo I had to revive this thread after seeing Isabelle Azaïs collection. So beautiful, and affordable too I hear, yet no way to purchase in US *Sigh*
