Plus-Size Jewelry Tips

Wednesday July 2, 2008

1. Sizing: I love Evans London, which carries accessories all sized to fit on plus-size frames perfectly. The necklaces are all long enough to fit around your neck without choking, and bracelets to go around your wrists.

2. Balance: Larger earrings can often look great on a 14+ bod, because smaller earrings can look dwarfed. This is especially true for somebody with long, voluminous hair.

3. Don't Be Afraid of Adjustment: If you invest in a more expensive piece of jewelry, and you are completely in love with it, look for necklaces with loops at the back or watches with longer leather bands.

4. Avoid One-Size Pieces: If you don't think it will fit, don't buy it!

I hunted out this particular featured piece at Vivre: the Coral Cabochon Earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane.

Torrid has some cute stuff, but it’s all made for short-waisted people. I didn’t see anything over 29″ long in the tops and those won’t even go over my big belly. :( I have to wear at least 31″ long tops and prefer 32-34.

I recommend checking out eShakti– they do custom pieces and are very affordable!
