I love big chunky jewelry. This season the easiest way to add glamour to a simple outfit is by adding oversized pieces that make a statement. We’ve been seeing abstract pieces from Vera Wang and other brooch style necklaces have become very popular.

Style Folio is a great online website that sells big beautiful bold statement jewelry. They are on our radar now that they have added vintage costume jewelry to their mix! If you don’t think you are the type of person who can pull off a bold necklace you need to check out their Trend Updates section where they mix cute outfits and show you how to wear the pieces in a fresh new way. Take this simply chic summer outfit. Nothing too special about shorts and a T-shirt untill you add this 1940s Art Deco stunning necklace of gold plated link designs that feature Black Onyx cylinders decorated with gold tiered detailing trimmed in Rhinestones.

Yvette Craddock, founder of Style Folio, tells me, “As a collector of vintage jewelry, I felt like adding key vintage pieces would be a logical addition to StyleFolioJewelry.com which is devoted to bold, modern and luxurious jewelry. My love for wearing and collecting vintage jewelry began with the purchase of a 1940’s long blue glass and pearl necklace and earring set from Germany.  I remember the day in the early ‘90’s that I fell in love with these pieces while shopping in a quaint Ventura Boulevard store in Sherman Oaks, California. These pieces marked the beginning of my personal collection that has grown with my travels and my personal style evolution.  There is something undeniably breathtaking about vintage pieces.” We have to agree!
