Do or Don't: Bow Tie Necklaces

It's no secret that I love tiny little pendants. In fact, most of the jewelry I make and buy are fun little charms.  Last week I made this bow tie pendant made with three triangles cut out of silver and soldered together.

 What do you think about menswear as dainty jewelry for women? Is it a Do or a Don't?

Trend Spotting: Put a Bow on It

There are few symbols more flirty and feminine than the bow.  Thanks in part to Gossip Girl, pretty and preppy bows have come back in a major way.  From dainty wisps of a tie to chunky and in your face, there are plenty of ways to rock a bow to fit your style.  Which one of the bows below is most "you"?

1. Tiffany Twist Bow Ring
2. BCBGENERATION LEATHER BOW BRACELET
3. Anthropology Gilded Needlepoint Necklace
4. VERAMEAT A RIBBON BOW
5. Juicy Couture Bow Stud Leather Bracelet
6. Dogeared Forget Me Knot Necklace
7. Kate Spade all wrapped up pavé stud earrings
8. Crislu Micro Pave Ribbons & Pearls Bow Earrings
9. LC Lauren Conrad Gold Tone Mesh Bow Ring
10. ASOS Bow Hoop Earrings
11. Mr. Kate Bow Crown Ring

I have #11 in white gold and LOVE it. It's very detailed and quite edgy for a bow. And I think I might have to pick up that BCBG leather wrap bracelet (#2) because it looks like the perfect mix of tough and girly. Always the best combo.
