Necklace Nibbles

Ok, so we know this isn't the first time we've featured eerily edible accessories (Obsessed? Us?) - but whilst Jelly's Edibles were fun and funky in a "market-stall/uni student" way today's range is definitely for more mature tastes...

Melbourne based jewellery designer Lucy Folk is hurriedly making a name for herself both here and overseas. Her delightful pieces, each inspired by the simple pleasures embodied by childhood "junk" foods manage to put a smile on the faces of all those who encounter them - without the nasty calories! The newest collection "More Nibbles..." features nostalgic favourites such as burger rings, corn chips, popcorn, peanuts and pretzels beautifully handcrafted in sterling silver and 24ct gold - they may be extravagant, but they're certainly eclectic.

At $630 AUD for one of the gold pretzel necklaces you'd be forgiven for thinking these pieces were a little luxe (think of all the burger rings you could buy for that), we at "Statement Pieces", however, are blinded by the bling and have fallen in love with these stunning yet quirky works of art. We love the idea of freaking people out and teaming the necklaces with more corporate/formal attire (you want people thinking "surely that well dressed woman doesn't have a dorito dangling around her neck!") - think form fitting pencil skirts and blouses or dress pant and jacket combos. Our fave pieces include the "Gold Corn Chip Necklace", the "Silver Pretzel Brooch" and the "Silver Popcorn Ring". Yum!
