Recently, small chains and baubles have gone out of style for something a little more striking. These new wonders are reffered to as "Bib Necklaces". I don't really like the term, but we'll go with it. Usually these necklaces have large beads, metal chains, sequins, or some kind of cloth in the front and then they're tied back with a smaller ribbon or chain. A lot of designers have been producing necklaces (some cute ones are made by Kate Spade, Juicy Couture, and Roberto Cavalli). The fascinating thing about these necklaces is that they don't only stick to plain beads and chains. Some are really edgy and use studs and leather, and some are girly and use chiffon, lace, and rows of dangling crystals. Whether wild or classic, femminine or punk, everyone can use one of these in their jewelry box.*
