We have come to adorn nearly every part of the body with jewelry, from earrings to anklets and even decadent headpieces. But what about ornamentation for your hands that goes beyond traditional styles? As spring begins to melt snow packs and bring in warm temperatures, we no longer have to fear frost-bitten appendages. It is the perfect time to put away those gloves and adopt a new, more elegant accessory. The hand chain, which drapes across the expanse of the hand by connecting a bracelet to a ring, is a uniquely exquisite addition to any ensemble.
This Fashionista dons a silver hand chain with a teardrop detail. The subtle blue and green gems of the piece complement the remainder of her outfit. Her classy look includes a plain top paired with a speckled feminine coat with a slight ruffle design and a colorful scarf. Although she combines a variety of different pieces together, she expertly keeps with a consistent color palette. She incorporates subtle flair into her look with navy blue leggings complete with a leather side strip. Not afraid to opt for a more laid back feel, she wears simple white Converse. Her square cut diamond earrings provide a nice accent to the bejeweled hand chain, allowing her outfit to come full circle.
How To: The great thing about hand chains is that they come in a variety of styles depending on what look you want to emulate. The diversity of this accessory does not undermine its universal sophistication, however. Try a gold hand chain for a Grecian-inspired feel, or something a bit chunkier for an edgier look. You can either go with a simple or more intricate style, but remember to commit to the piece you choose and let it inspire your clothing choices.
