Rhumba! Item of the Week - Festoon Necklace Set

Even though we love every piece of jewelry for sale on Rhumba! Jewelry, every so often we like to showcase one of our 6,000+ items, and tell you why we love it so much. 


This week we feature this fabulously fashion-forward item:

Rhinestone Multi-chain Tassel Festoon Necklace Set







What it is: A festoon necklace set in metallic black, gray and hematite color rhinestones in patinated brass colored metal.  This glorious necklace set is a quality, contemporary take on the Victorian festoon necklace with its draped chains, medallions of darkly shaded rhinestones and dangling central tassel.
The earrings match the brooch decoration, mirroring the same style and dark rhinestone sparkle.

Why we love it: I really feel like this necklace is a perfect example of what's next in fashionable statement accessories.  It blends current trends of mixed metals, brooch-like decorations gathering pieces of necklaces, and fringe (with the tassel) - but presents them all in a new way.  Or rather, a sort of retro way, since the festoon style has been around for over a century, and have been a bold accessory since the Queen of England had the style commissioned.  Wear the necklace and earrings together for a bold and extra bling-y look, or wear them separately with any of your favorite clothes. The piece'
s sparkly neutral rhinestones make them both easy to pair with anything in your closet.  For real, you're going to see these necklaces in next year's fashion magazines, I'm sure.
