Top 5 Tuesday - favourite necklaces

I'm normally hesitant when it comes to posting about products that are no longer available for sale, in case it creates a major lemming in my readers, but this was a requested post especially for Saumya from The Vanity Bag Diaries who wanted to see my accessories collection.

Instead of showing the whole lot, I'll be showing my 5 favourite chunky necklaces.
Wearing my 5 favourite chunky necklaces all at once!!!

Ok, ok, it might be better if I show them one by one!

And here they are, my top 5, in order of favourites. 

1. I've had this one for a number of years now, and from memory I bought it from Diva. It's my favourite necklace for dressing up a boring outfit. 


2. Blue, cream and brown necklace from Equip. This is a recent purchase, and cost $16.95. I have a feeling this will still be available at the shops if you want it. This will look amazing with a summery white dress.


3. I bought this one on sale at Diva for around $4.00, it was in a bargain bin area and I think it's one stunning piece that looks great with a summer tan. I haven't worn this much lately as it looks best with a strapless summer dress, but I know once the weather warms up this will come out of hiding for sure.


4. I bought this one from Equip a couple of years ago. It's nothing special to look at, and you can get similar ones in a lot of shops but I think it's again perfect for dressing up a plain outfit.


5. This is probably the most expensive of the lot. It's handmade and I bought it from The Rocks Markets last year for around $50. This looks great worn with a plain black dress, with a dash of red lipstick to match the red of the necklace.


As you can see I'm not really into real gold, silver, diamond jewellery... I prefer costume jewellery from places like Diva and Colette that I can mix and match with different outfits, and then not feel bad about wasting money if I get tired of them.

Do you like chunky accessories or do you prefer the real deal?

  3. Hi Lilit,

    I actually love the first picture with you and all your necklaces. I don't know why I love the chaos.

    These are all lovely statement pieces. I love costume jewelries too, I find the most beautiful things at garage sales.

  6. Love your style! Diva tends to re-promote a lot of their jewellery and things turn up in new collections however they might change the colours and so-forth, I used to work at Diva so I could spot a Diva piece on someone a mile away!

  17. Oh, I LOVE the leopard print one! I generally wear the same necklace every day {a silver charm that has my daughters tiny fingerprint indented into it} but I admit I'm very much getting into all the chunky colour blocking accessories in stores like Diva! Loving that right now! Xx
