Editor's Pick: Fabric Jewelry Makes a Soft Statement

There's just something about putting on a piece of jewelry that isn't your everyday necklace or ring that's a little bit extraordinary. Statement jewelry comes to mind, but truthfully, many of those pieces are made for runways and red carpets and are just too out there for day to day wear. So what is there to do when you want to make a statement but you don't want to feel like your jewelry is actually wearing you? Fabric jewelry with unexpected ribbons and materials carries the same effect as the chunkier types, but it won't weigh you down or take away from that effortless look you're aiming to capture. We love MARNI's collection but there are more affordable ones out there as well! Keep your other jewelry to a minimum when you wear these - simple studs will do. Click SEE THE SLIDESHOW for more!
