Jewellery. The bigger the better?

Friday, April 17, 2015

This is just a small fun post with some interesting jewellery :) It origins from the discussion that took place under this blog post. It might sound funny if I write that one is the prettier the bigger and heavier jewellery she wears. However, there were times when this statement made sense. The are places on this planet that it still does!

What do you think about big and heavy jewellery? Is it true that the bigger the better?

I think this jewelry is stunningly beautiful. I like big pieces but also like more petite pieces too. :)

I love to admire big statement pieces on other people, but for me personally - I much prefer simple, minimalistic jewelry.

Wow, so bold! I'm usually not too big of a fan of large jewelry, but there are some really pretty pieces here!

I am with you on this one! :) I like any jewellery, big or small!

I would wear a really big piece, but I do not go to the events where it would look appropriate...

I actually created a really big piece that I would gladly wear. It needs a special occasion, though... and I did not have one yet :)

Just give me jewellery Natalia, any shape, size, colour, you name it, I'll probably wear it! Whether it's a tiny, understated piece or something big, bold and shiny, if it fits, I'll wear it. Never mind special occasions, I'll make it special!

Your Black Swan? Anytime! And if your Bra fitted I'd wear that too!
