Tricky Trend: ring & bracelet combo

I love flashy, eye-catching jewelry ... and if they are a vintage beauty (like this one) -- well you can't go wrong there! Right?

The ring and bracelet combo has been a hot trend for few seasons but lately high end designers are getting in on the trend with fabulous designs at affordable (well, all is relative, ...) prices. Giuseppe Zanotti's designs are my personal favorite and this one here is just amazing:

          

   

GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI - NIRVANA RING & BRACELET $995.00

                          (See my styling here)
 

GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI - CRYSTAL EMBELLISHED RING & BRACELET at $1395.00 

MAWI - ROSE GARDEN BRACELET & RING at $432.00

GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI - ARIEL VINTAGE HAND BRACELET  at $695.00

Now  the key is to let the jewelry be the star of the outfit. So, if you decide to try this trend, leave all other jewelry at home and keep the silhouette of the outfit clean, simple, and  monochromatic. 

Thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
