There's been a lot of chatter about 'Hot Girl Summer' and all the early 00s trends coming along with it and I, for one, am here for it! Among these many trends (including the long dreaded return of low rise pants) is one that I'm particularly excited about, the rise of the body chain! Long favoured by celebs and runway shows, this sultry trend is hitting the mainstream hard this season. According to WhoWhatWear 'summer 2021 is all about body jewelry' and 'this season, your skin should be coated in shimmering body jewelry of all kinds.' ~ sounds good to me!

Subtle or statement making, belly chains or full torso accessorizing, there are tons of ways to make this trend your own

Belly Chains anyone?

If you're the type who likes to wade into the water slowly, why not try a Belly Chain or Chain Belt, perfect for pairing with some low slung jeans, or glamming up your poolside look! They can also be worn as Lariat style necklace so you're really getting 3 accessories in 1!

Shop the Alessandra Belly Chain Belt below!

Dive in the deep end with a more full body style like the Selia Choker Body Chain below! This style is ultra-flattering and very adjustable to ensure a comfortable fit for any size. Wear it over (or peaking out from under) party tops, sun dresses, swimsuits... the options are endless and 🔥🔥🔥

#tbt to earlier this week when I sent out the last ever Hera Broad Collar Body Chain with a mix of joy and sadness. I feel strongly about offering short runs and limited editions of designs to add their uniqueness. Many of my designs include vintage materials, available only in limited quantities, which add to what makes them special. With all of the mass production in today's world I think there's something really wonderful about having something that only a few others in the world will have. A striking statement piece would be much less striking if it had been seen on a hundred people before. I truly love making unique pieces of jewelry, hand made with love and thoughtfully chosen materials. That being said, it still feels bitter sweet whenever I send out the last of any design. I love all of my creations deeply and saying goodbye to them is always a little sad, but much less sad than I'd be if I were selling mass produced dispassionate jewelry.
