Fall 2012 to Winter 2013 calls for the return of opulence where jewellery is concerned. Spring and Summer saw the beginnings of this trend with the heavy layering of silver chains around the neck and single wide cuff bangles on an arm. Fall 2012 to Winter 2013 goes a step further, layering chunky pieces together for a totally lavish result.

This season, jewellery has gone chunky on all fronts. By all means wear your entire collection of bangles on one arm but leave out the rest of the jewellery, save the earrings. Or you could leave off the earrings and wear not one, but two or more chunky necklaces.

Choose one or two types of accessories and leave off the rest. Like an absolutely stunning pair of chandelier earrings with an armful of bangles. Or an armful of bangles and a gorgeous hair piece. Or several beaded necklaces and a cocktail ring.

The rest of your outfit should not compete with your jewellery. Such heavily adorned looks go beautifully with minimalist clothing, or simple outfit that are very well cut.

One point to note: chunky jewellery looks best on big or tall women who can carry them off. Avoid them if you are petite as you would look as if the jewels are wearing you, not you wearing them.

If you can carry chunky jewels, you will love our range at Avalaya store.

Upper Arm Bracelets or Armlets are the type of bracelets that are worn on the upper part of an arm, above elbow and usually closer to the shoulder.

The armlets are usually made like bangles - using rigid design so that it will hold in place without moving about too much. Armlets are usually adjustable so that the wearer can fit to the exact size of the upper arm as it is important that it will not be too loose as otherwise it would slide down the arm.

Armlets, Upper Arm Bracelets, Arm Rings, Upper Arm Bangles, Armbands are just the different names for the same type of jewellery.

Upper Arm Bracelets have their roots in the ancient history, when they have been mostly shaped like a snake and worn my Greeks, Indonesians and other cultures. In the modern days Armbands are gaining more and more popularity among women of various cultural backgrounds.

Armlets are best worn with the strap dresses or with very short sleeve dresses. Many women buy Upper Arm Bracelets to match their wedding dress. Another good match would be an evening dress or a cocktail dress. Having a beautiful jewellery on your upper arm will certainly award you loads of "beauty points" and attract many compliments from both men and women.

The most popular Upper Arm Bracelets are shaped like snakes and come in silver or gold colours. Other popular shapes feature abstract flowers, hearts, leaves and twirls. Some armlets do not have any stones in their designs while the majority do have a few Swarovski crystals or cubic zirconia (CZ) gems.
