A . Charmed . Life

I have an obsession with oversized, chunky jewelry - rings, necklaces, bracelets - anything that's unique, pretty, and a statement piece. Necklaces can be the trickiest of the group however; if the designer hasn't gotten it just right, you could wind up looking like you're going to a Halloween party.

This is precisely why I love Madame Fortuna's utterly amazing, one-of-a-kind creations - a necklace of hers would look just lovely worn over a simple tee. She had the brilliant idea to take individual brooches and then combined them with strands of pearls and silvery chains to make stunning necklaces:




You can buy directly from her shop or request a custom order. (and I just have to add that it's a good thing that ETSY doesn't make buyer's information public, or I'd have to track some people down and steal their custom baubles!!)

Gorgeous.
