Jewelry Takes On A
New Meaning
(MPS) — Say goodbye to last year's
teeny jewelry; this season, bigger
is better. A pair of chunky, silver
cuff bracelets, a "larger-than-life"
pin or ring, an arresting necklace,
even a sterling evening bag that
doubles as an object of art make a
festive statement.
The rule of thumb is not to pile it
on, reports the Silver Information
Center. A single signature piece or
two have greater understated im-
pact.
For timeless, yet modern, acces-
sories and gifts with an abun-
dance of attitude for not a lot of
money, big silver jewelry tops this
year's holiday wish lists.
