Linked In?
Chunky chains and necklaces created with large open links were hot in 2009 and the look will continue to be popular in 2010. Pick up the February issue of InStyle magazine and you’ll see the beautiful Heidi Klum wearing an oversized linked necklace on the cover.
Chain linked jewelry is believed to have its roots in the medieval era, when it was seen on most armour. Whole upper body outfits, made of mesh, chain and links, were used as a bulletproof vest or jacket during those times. Whether the links are textured or polished, single layers or stacked, choker length or longer – you can’t go wrong with a few linked pieces in your treasure chest.
Linked jewelry has been spotted on red carpet celebrities and in retail stores everywhere. But you can find the perfect piece for your collection right here on the Delamina site. Designer Ian Saude knows a thing or two about making link jewelry glamorous for every Delamina woman. First, he brings us a shimmering sterling silver linked bracelet that would make the perfect statement with your three quarter sleeved blouses, your LBD’s or your extra comfortable Bon Jovi t-shirt.
To pair with your bracelet, Ian Saude has also designed a sterling silver link necklace, 16.5 inches in length. This gorgeous necklace has graduated-sized links that flow around the collarbone until they reach an invisible clasp. This necklace would look perfect with an off the shoulder cashmere sweater or with your lilac-colored satin strapless evening gown.
And, to make everyday a special occasion, you can pop champagne to celebrate this glamorous link necklace. Saude designed this sterling silver link necklace with an 18kt yellow gold toggle clasp, pave set with round brilliant cut champagne diamonds, 1.30 carats total weight. You can wear this 16.5 inch necklace with your favorite v-neck style sweater, a pair of skinny jeans and leather over the knee boots and you’ll still be the most extravagant woman in the room. Or you can pair it with a golden cocktail dress, shimmering in chiffon or brocade, and be the ultimate, modern and sophisticated fairy princess.
