Oversized jewelry

bijoux_oversize

Easily spotted from afar without necessarily having to be flashy, oversized jewelry pieces can always work wonders. As far as jewelry and accessories are concerned, the hot trends right now are the bib necklace, XXL rings, oversized earrings and cuff bracelets that encircle the whole wrist. These pieces inject energy into even the most understated and minimalist of outfits. They give a twist to styles that may be a little too on the sensible side of things, personalising day-to-day looks that tend to be somewhat run-of-the-mill. Oversized jewelry can be casual or chic, but is certainly all the rage right now…

It’s an essential piece that you simply can’t do without, and is certainly no exception to the current trend for the oversized: the ring. And rings are being worn in dramatically XXL styles right now. Whether you opt for a simple model – metal, silver-, gold-, copper-coloured, wood or resin – or indeed something more sophisticated or minimalist, the oversized ring will show your fingers in their best light. These rings look great worn alone, or ‘stacked’ together with several rings. So feel free to go ahead and choose the combination that works best for you!

Amidst this carnival of oversized and impressive jewelry, necklaces aren’t doing too badly for themselves either. Costume jewelry models are particularly on trend at the moment. They tend to comprise several rows of coloured beads, or monochrome ones for a more essential touch. Either way, these necklaces bring real style to any décolletage. Ethnic-style bib necklaces are also trending currently, as are models made from rhinestone, Perspex, resin, wood or from dramatically large metal chain links. So now you can really play on the contrast between colours, and dress up your décolletage with one of these oversized models. They can be incredibly flattering, and have a slimming effect that really showcases your neck. It just wouldn’t be right to deprive yourself really!

The trend for earrings, on the other hand, is to wear them either on their own or as a pair (surely a handy trend for anyone who has that rather unfortunate habit of systematically losing one of her earrings!). Whether worn solo or as a pair, make sure you opt for a model that is impressive and imposing. This accessory is particularly great because it elongates your profile, producing a very flattering effect. XXL hoop earrings are the flagship model to adopt right now, so don’t hesitate! Once again, there’s a choice of materials: whether you prefer synthetic or natural, monochrome or colourful, you can go ahead and indulge yourself. Take a risk with a highly colourful accessory, by pairing it with an understated, plain outfit.

At Buttons Paradise, we haven’t overlooked this trend for oversized jewelry and accessories either. Among the brand’s necklaces, there’s the emblematic Horn Canoes Original Necklace. This necklace is made of three extra-large black horn buttons (95-125mm), which are mounted on a leather cord in the same colour, for truly inimitable style. The other flagship accessory at Buttons Paradise is the cuff bracelet, available in different leather models and a range of shades including raspberry, lilac blue and creamy beige. These bracelets are trimmed with a high-fashion buckle from the 1970s, for a look that works the oversized trend by combining it with class and a touch of the vintage: a real triumph!
