In a recent email I received from jewelry designer Kenneth Fron, he gives his fashion forecast when it comes to necklaces for the fall:

It's unanimous that long beaded necklaces and slightly "over-the-top" necklaces are definitely IN! The trend also continues for chunky beads and chain-link designs. There's a good showing of silver and gold, too...to match those gaudy handbags and big belts.

Long necklaces, also called "ropes" are so fun and versatile to own and wear. They are also really exciting for me to design. You can wear them super long as a single strand, or wear them doubled or tripled for different looks with various outfits!

I can say that Kenneth already has a number of longer looks on his web site, like this 31 inch black vintage Czech glass beaded necklace (above). And here are few other long lovlies.



Semi-Precious Stones - 35 inches


Semi-Preciious Stone/Goldtone Filigree Beads - 36 inches
