 Bulky accessories are mostly used at runways being the central element of collections,
attimes. Bulky accessories are created by those who fly in
their souls, to the dreams they live in and boho jewels they create cannot be blamed
by critics. Modesty is something strange in this regard. Bulky and solid
brooches, bracelets and necklaces are designed to accentuate the delicacy of
female shapes and tell the others that such ladies are willing to go to the end
or lose everything. In purpose of creating the image of a resolute person, there
is no need to match elegant thin jewels to avoid attracting looks but the only
bulky accessory will be enough, especially made by jewelers from precious

reigned was famous for the solid massive pectorals. Pectoral is a jewel as a square
plate made from gold, mainly, with the picture of the scarab bug and figurines

the gold which means the same from French language that is slavery. The
bracelet consisted of a pair of bands fixed with golden chain in between in the
way that one circle was fixed on the wrist while the clasped at the elbow, and
