Maybe I just haven’t grown out of my ooooh shiny phase but I LOVE jewellery, just call me Sheryl CROW, bacaww! (Actually not only was that a poor joke it was also incorrect, apparently crows neither like nor collect shiny objects, says Dr. Kevin J. McGowan, Cornell Lab of Ornithology). And not just subtle jewellery either but big costume pieces,The tungsten bracelet is a bracelet that comes in various shapes and sizes. and even things that are just silly: upper arm bracelets, strange head pieces, earrings that loop from the bottom piercing to the top of your ear, massive necklaces, ring bracelets (all technical terms I’m sure) and huge feathery earrings…with hoops in them too. Yes it is silly but it is also fun you can go 60's crazy or dare the 90's but it can also be classy with 1920’s style pieces. Life is a roller coaster, just gotta ride it.
