I like big jewellery. Lauren of Fops and Dandies (which is now no more. Booo!) knows I like big jewellery. So when she emailed me to tell me about an Etsy seller who also likes big jewellery I didn't quite realise just how big it was going to be! Elizaveta is a girl with a sense of humour. She takes random objects; dolls, plates, frames and turns them is these huge editorial worthy necklaces.
Basically, everything is fair game to be shoved on a necklace! I think it's hilarious and fantastic. Imagine the possibilities? Admittedly it would be pretty tricky to work these into an everyday outfit, but for nights out they would be so much fun to wear, providing you don't indulge in "jumping on trampolines, getting into pillow fights, hot tub soirees or any other vigorous activity", because if you do you'll most likely end up doing yourself a mischief.

WOW...how lush are they? When I was at uni people used to do this...but with tacky objects like plastic hotdogs and old video tapes. Loving this newer, more feminine take on the idea. Brilliant find! Cx

I think that the ornate frame one is actually an idea which lots of people would wear!

the one with the watches is genius, i love the texture of it! i'm sure you could easily diy something similar but toned down...

This looks so odd and fantastic at the same time. Great idea, nice find.

Do yourself a mischief? You could do yourself a death if you whanged into something wearing one of these pieces!
Posted by: Sal | Thursday, 04 September 2008 at 19:22
These wonderful pieces have a very Flava Flav flavor to them. Nice.

Wow! Those wouldn't actually be that hard to work into an outfit, if the outfit was very simple. Let's say it's Monday morning so you grab a plain white shirt and jeans. Yawn, until you add one of those!

Those are outragously fabulous!
