The other pieces are generally not metal, and they have a more "shapeless" feel to them. I agree that many of the pieces here have a heavy, masculine feel. Numbers 2 and 12 seem the most feminine to me. Maybe you could keep your eye open for larger pieces that are all metal, have intricate details, and have a feminine feel to them? Maybe then you would find something that you like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1173128 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 03:34:08 +0000 Freckles 1173128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MRL maybe you can also help me figure it out although DC is a heck of a lot warmer than here.<br />Torontogirl I will try that charm idea again. &nbsp;In the past there was something untidy about it to my eye.<br />Thank you yet again Angie. &nbsp;Wow, I would never have read the leather cord as being dainty. &nbsp;That is a real eye opener. &nbsp;Will see what I can come up with. &nbsp;This piece was pretty extreme in the statement category to me.<br />Gigi I've attached pics of pieces I thought were my statement pieces. &nbsp;I guess it is the masculine aspect of them that I don't care for. &nbsp;I &nbsp;really still love number 10 but on a scale only prefer to wear it every so often rather &nbsp;than a lot. &nbsp;For the paua I only ever wear the dull side as I find the other side too bright and garish for me. &nbsp;So not 6 and 9. &nbsp;I do like number two but the chain is too long and there is something wrong with how it is put together as the wrong side always shows front and centre. &nbsp;Most of the hasps on these are small so they would not allow much larger chains or ropes or whatever on them.</p> <p>Please disregard the tarnishing as I have let them tarnish. &nbsp;The pics I took when polished were very blurry due to the bright silver. &nbsp;Except the horse of course, he hasn't been worn in about two months so not polished...</p> <p>Edit</p> <p>The one piece of statement I like well enough to wear bi-weekly (pic 12) is too fiddily. &nbsp;The heavy chain part moves down and the whole thing goes all wacky in no time at all.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1173091 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 01:56:23 +0000 Gigi 1173091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles, do you know what it was about the larger pieces that you did not like? I'm wondering what would happen if you found a larger necklace that had a lot of small, intricate detailing. That would give you a large overall shape, but you would still have the dainty details that you like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1173069 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 01:26:12 +0000 Angie 1173069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sara said.&nbsp;</p> <p>Freckles, the leather chord still reads dainty, although the pendant is chunkier.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1173066 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 01:23:14 +0000 Helena 1173066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you put a few of your smaller charms on a single, somewhat longer chain? Kind of create charm necklace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1173058 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 01:18:17 +0000 MRL 1173058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love delicate jewelry and am so happy that it's making a comeback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172978 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:54:35 +0000 Freckles 1172978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sara. &nbsp;I guess my version of large really isn't... &nbsp;Perhaps it has something to do that the style of the bottom necklace is also more &nbsp;masculine than feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172970 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:47:20 +0000 Sara L. 1172970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of statement jewelry as being not just eye-catching but also much&nbsp;larger than the photos you have here. &nbsp;All the pieces you show look dainty to me. &nbsp;I like dainty jewelry in the summer against the skin. &nbsp;They don't show up in outfit photos very well, but look good IRL (at least to me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172967 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:43:01 +0000 Freckles 1172967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again. &nbsp;I do fear perhaps my interpretation of statement is not correct... &nbsp;That trinity knot on the leather cord is majorly statement to my eye. &nbsp;Is it the size or something else in the design? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172906 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:44:45 +0000 Angie 1172906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pieces are dainty actually, Freckles - although the one daintier than the other. I don't think the compromise works all that well. Still a dash frumpy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172893 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:35:54 +0000 Freckles 1172893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Diana. &nbsp;I've tried the lower neck thing and scarves and still freeze. &nbsp;At one occassion my twenty something year old niece came up to me and told me to go get my bag of warm clothes and change. &nbsp;I had that surprised look on my face and she added, goosebumps are not pretty nor is a shivering lady. &nbsp;We all appreciate that you try so hard but please go and put on warm clothes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172881 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:29:15 +0000 Diana 1172881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To Angie's point, I wear my dainty necklaces over bare skin.&nbsp; But I don't wear high necklines at all, even in winter (that's what scarves are for).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172879 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:28:26 +0000 Freckles 1172879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie.</p> <p>In pic five the highest necklace would be worn under the turtleneck and the lower necklace, which I consider statement, would be on top. &nbsp;Is this the okay compromise I thought it was? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172870 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:20:57 +0000 Angie 1172870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dainty jewellry is making a fashionable comeback actually. That's quite fun. I like dainty jewelry too - although I don't wear jewellry at all.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the look of dainty jewellry against skin. That looks more updated and modern. Especially with current and on trend&nbsp;clothing. Layering dainty necklaces over turtlenecks does look frumpy to my eye. Perhaps you can throw in the occasional V-veck to showcase your necklaces? Or stick to wearing the earrings in Winter?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-delicate-jewellery#post-1172857 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:05:00 +0000 Freckles 1172857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though I've been on a mission to buy statement jewellery it just does not make me happy and the pieces languish in my closet. &nbsp;I adore small delicate pieces.<br /><span>In the winter I can just wear the small delicate necklaces underneath my<br /> turtlenecks and wear a more statement piece where it shows.&nbsp; This is not ideal but somewhat of a&nbsp;compromise.<br /></span>What&nbsp;does one do in the other seasons or is there a plan of how I can wear these and&nbsp;not look frumpy and old fashioned? </p>
