ANTHEM FASHION

Jewelry may often play second fiddle in the world of fashion; "accessories" are seen as afterthoughts, jewelry as mere ornament. We all know, though, that the pieces you select can either make or break the deal when it comes to putting together a good outfit.

However, the game's going through some changes this season. Jewelry is bigger (literally) and better than ever, and these designers have embraced an oversized, weighty, and decorative style. Reminiscent of 60s pop, medieval etchings, and creepy Gothic styles, the rings, necklaces, and bracelets we're showcasing here have successfully combined luxe and craft in a way that is refreshingly modern.
