Etsy Finds: Bold Beads

After learning from the New York Magazine spring fashion issue that huge crazy necklaces are the thing, and after Gilbea recently blogged about giant jewels and emailed me about it, I decided to just go with the hugeness trend and make an Etsy Find all about big bold beads. So here you are:

The Rachel Bracelet

Rachel is a fun and stylish girl with an affinity for bold and chunky jewelry. Rachel is quiet, sweet, likes fashion and enjoys a good laugh. By nicoleleeartistry, $23.

I saw these picks and I thought cserdan. She does fabulous and colorful chunky bracelets.

Aaah, cserdan would have been PERFECT!! I definately would have picked something from her shop. She needs to tag her jewelry with words like "chunky" or "large" or something else describing the style of those pieces...then I would have found her. There is so much jewelry on Etsy, jewelers really have to use tags (accurately of course) to describe the look and feel of their stuff, not just the stones or gems used and whether its a bracelet or necklace.

I'm absolutely loving the "High Road to Taos" necklace! I make a lot of chunky stuff, too. Because I'm totally shameless, here's a link to my bold beaded necklace:
