It’s almost sandal weather, tank-top and shorts time, the season of swimsuits drying on the line. If you’re already showing a bit more skin than usual, you might want to add one or
two pieces of jewelry in an unexpected place. No, we aren’t suggesting a new piercing, but maybe a toe ring? They’re fun and they bring an exotic flare to one little piggy while the other nine reap the extra attention. Toe-rific Jewelry makes simple, inexpensive fitted rings, such as the sun-catching, gold-filled silver multi-hammered ring ($15). If you prefer gold jewelry, the Plumeria band ($60), a circle of little flowers, is delicate and feminine. To get some sparkle in your step, there’s an adjustable gold or white-gold twist with eight round cubic zirconia from Grace Jewelry ($83). Moving up from your feet, the options multiply when it comes to anklets. A wide variety of simple sterling-silver chain models are available at Auntie’s Treasures, where the length of the chain determines the price. We like the beaded box-chain anklet ($8.32 for 9 inches). Want something more unique? Designer YuccaBloom has a collection of anklets featuring gemstones, Balinese beads, shell and more. For anklets at the higher end of the market, we adore the rose- and white-gold designer anklet at Heavenly Treasures ($225, pictured) and the dainty bezel-set diamond chain anklet ($542) from Bill Barnes. To glorify your curvy midsection, especially in a bikini, a waist chain says far more than any necklace. Body Candy sells back belly chains. Here the pendant or focal point of the jewelry is set at the small of the back. For waist chains with Swarovski pearls and crystals, go to Looney Maiden Jewelry, where prices run from $105 to $160. All chains are 36 inches, but you can add inches for $2 each to get the length you want.
