Spree Style with Erin Habes: A bejeweled New Year
This season it’s all about size and quantity in the jewelry department. Style-cognoscenti will rock it with polished metal adornments, opulent gemstones, and standout-in-a-crowd statement pieces. If you possess ornamental souvenirs from far-flung destinations, toss them on your neck, fingers, and shoulders with abandonment.
2012 brings out the jewelry junky in all of us, with an A-list lineup of trends. Looking to the streets of Spring '12 fashion week and the rest of the world we see a treasure-trove of some of the best dressed wrists, necks and fingers we've observed in a longtime. Pack on the personality pendants, over-sized neckwear, shoulder dusters, and piles and piles of bracelets and rings.
Prepare for a full-on bauble-battle by checking out some of the standouts below:
Bold bracelets—streets of London (The Sartorialist)

Decorate your wrists in multiples, from Bakelite bangles, beaded, over-sized watches and chain bracelets. Find your favorites and and pile it on.
Oversized necklace—Paris (The Sartorialist)

Make a statement with an over-sized look, paired with a simple tailored outfit. A perfect combo that will allow your neck-piece to shine.
Shoulder dusters—Paris (The Sartorialist)

Long chains and fringe tassels are in—the more volume the better when it comes to earrings this season. Let them graze your shoulders to give them some movement!
