Guest Blog: The Beauty of Long Pendants by Natalie Zee Drieu of craftzine + coquette.

When I knew I was going on vacation and that I needed guest bloggers, I immediately thought of Natalie Zee Drieu of craftzine + coquette. 1) I knew she would say yes (thanks, nat) & 2) I love her style & knew that she would share some amazing stuff that both you & I would want. Well, what do you think? I know I want of each of these! – jen

I have been obsessed lately with the look of a long pendant. Whether it’s a striking large piece or a small cluster of delicate charms, there’s something wonderful about a long piece of jewelry dangling from your neck. It’s perfect to wear casual over a t-shirt and jeans, or the right necklace can be that perfect “pop” on a dress. It’s simple, yet stylish and let’s be honest here, doesn’t way a ton of bricks like those gargantuan bib necklaces! Kris Nations a Bay Area jewelry designer who’s a friend of mine has a new Peacock Pendant Necklace ($98) that I’m coveting. The double chain is très chic and adjustable in height so you can have it as high or as low as you’d like! I was lucky enough to have her show me this necklace in her studio last fall while she was working on it and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
