ACCESSORIES FILE: ATYPICAL JEWELRY

It's time to rethink how we do jewelry. Sure, diamonds may always be a girl's best friend, but there's a new wave in jewelry design marked by incredibly unique, head-turning, atypical pieces. From body chains to knuckle rings, these unusual accessories are the token to transforming everyday classics into something cutting edge and modern.

KNUCKLE SANDWICH
Knuckle rings scream tough-chick and on-trend. Mary-Kate Olsen is known for her extreme mixing of jewelry which has helped make her an icon in the industry. She exemplifies how a knuckle ring can look both eclectic and chic.

ALL EARS
We are in love with these ear cuffs by Ralph and Duchess. Every once in a while it's fun to color outside the lines and try something that isn't your safe, every-day choice. The cuffs allow you to try a punky meets pretty look, no piercing required.

BAR NONE
While large cocktail rings are a fabulous new classic, give a bar ring a try. It makes the same major statement and has an elegant vibe.

CHAIN GANG
Sparkly stones are always a fun incorporation, but if you're dripping in emeralds it can come off a bit matronly. Chains are new-day glamour that provide the same girly decadence with a bit of toughness. Stack them on in varying sizes and metals or try out a fun body-chain over your basic tanks and tees.
