Amanda’s Style File: Fringe and Flow
Tassel jewelry has been coming in and out of popularity for decades but never truly goes out of style.
Tassel jewelry has been coming in and out of popularity for decades but never truly goes out of style.
This Style File features some classic tassel shapes but also turns the spotlight to an evolution of the style--fringe.
Fringe is being found in earrings, necklaces and even hanging off cuffs and rings. It moves when the wearer moves and has a subtle, almost spellbinding motion that gets noticed.
Another bonus of fringe and tassels is that they feel good when worn. Here are a few standout styles to explore for winter and spring.
