Circlets

I remember the first time I saw them in Celine's 2011 resort collection. The stood out like knock-outs against the clean, minimal dresses and I thought of them as non conformists, yes - bracelets for the neck. Thus began my love affair with metal collar necklaces. These collar-length rigid metal necklaces encircle the neck but don’t fit tight around the neck as a choker-length necklace would, nor do they conform to the shape of the neck; they stand away from the body and create their own space. They're everything I aspire to be ;) 


Notice those gorgeous silver and gold cuff bracelets too? Right off the bat, I bought a warrior-like rose gold cuff from ASOS and a couple other hammered silver cuffs for the Republic Of Chic online store but I was always on the lookout for that fabulous (and elusive, mind you) collar necklace. I'm so thrilled to have finally found them and not just for me, for you too! :) 

These dramatic eye-catching circlets have been interpreted by numerous designers and favored by loads of fashion editors this season. Circlets of all diameters and sizes, celine-like thick ones, thinner ones -  'supergalactic' comes to mind, doesn't it? All coming to ROC store soon.

I spotted clever variations of the cuffs being worn as anklets on Jak and Jil. Can't wait to try this! Meanwhile how much do I love these?!

Oh, do come back tomorrow to see how I wore mine today :)
