So the word is that big chunky, dangling, bold earrings will be all the rage for spring '09. They were seen all over the runways during fashion week.






I have been a fan of this look ever since I became aware of Edie Sedgwick in junior high. I was mesmerized by her huge chandelier earrings. Most of the time she made them herself by linking more than one pair together until they grazed her collar bone. This trend comes and goes often in fashion and can always work when worn the right way.











I have been gathering a collection of these big beauties for a very long time now. Here are some favorites from my personal collection.
