’Tis the season…to buy things we normally wouldn’t! The hand-chain-ring-cuff hybrid – or the slave bracelet – is too trendy a piece for which to pay full price, but when you’re talking about a sale that knocks it down by 50-70%, PLUS an additional 20% off all sale items, it’s time to get trendy. That’s exactly what is happening on ShopBop through December 15th.
Also known as belly-dancer and harem jewels, this multi-faceted piece brings an exotic thrill to everyday accessorizing. Not surprisingly, it hasn’t really caught on with the mainstream – most likely because of its confining connotation. But it’s all in fun and at the very least, an interesting conversation piece, which is what accessorizing is about.
Erin Wasson seems to agree. She whipped up more than a handful of slave bracelets for her Low Luv line this season, making earth-inspired bones and arrowheads the centerpiece for her hammered designs of gold- and silver-plated metal. In keeping with their name, Fortune Favors the Brave went for a bolder approach. The rope-textured edges along the cuff-style ring and bracelet bring to mind classic Native American jewels, while the diamond-link chain makes a light-reflecting statement. Like the idea but not the heavy look? Jacquie Aiche keeps their rhodium-plated chain airy and minimal, so you get the romance without the heft and restraint.
