Over-Sized Necklaces

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Crazy Supersized Baubles by Elizaveta

— September 6, 2008 — Fashion
The trend for fall 2008 in jewelry fashion is all about over-sized necklaces, but this is just extreme. Elizaveta takes just about anything to fashion into jewelry, from sunglasses and faux flower posies to souvenir plates and laminated watch pictures. Toronto-based Elizaveta, the creator of these ‘Supersized’ baubles sells her wares on Etsy. The cool chain and sunglasses necklace sells for $140 and the wild watch piece is available for $74.50.

As my favorite fashion royalty figure ‘Queen Michelle’ notes, “Admittedly it would be pretty tricky to work these into an everyday outfit, but for nights out they would be so much fun to wear, providing you don’t indulge in 'jumping on trampolines, getting into pillow fights, hot tub soirees or any other vigorous activity', because if you do you’ll most likely end up doing yourself a mischief.”
Trend Themes
1. Over-sized Jewelry - The trend for over-sized necklaces aligns with the increasing desire for bold statements in accessories, providing an opportunity for designers to create innovative and unique pieces.
2. Upcycling - Elizaveta's use of unconventional materials such as souvenir plates and watch pictures for jewelry-making highlights the trend of upcycling in fashion and jewelry industries, paving the way for sustainable and eco-friendly products.
3. Novelty Fashion - The popularity of Elizaveta's quirky and unconventional designs suggests a growing interest in novelty fashion, offering designers the opportunity to experiment with fun and playful designs.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - The trend for over-sized and novelty jewelry presents a lucrative opportunity for the fashion accessories industry to experiment with designs that cater to consumer's desire for uniqueness and personal expression.
2. Jewelry Design - Elizaveta's unconventional use of materials showcases the potential for innovation within the jewelry design industry, giving rise to the use of alternative and sustainable materials in the creation of jewelry and other fashion accessories.
3. E-commerce - Elizaveta's success in selling her designs on Etsy highlights the potential of the e-commerce industry to provide a platform for small and independent designers to showcase their creativity and reach a global audience.
