Lucy Hutchings is sending a message to the jewelry world with her 2009 collection called Go big or go home. The British designer is paying tribute to the Bowerbird, who loves to feather his nest with lots of blue to attract an egglayer. Hutchings decided that she would make the rocks in her jewelry egg-sized and blue. Can't hurt, right? If you want a nest in your head? Gotta work.
Implications - The jewelry that Hutchings creates features both natural and man-made items. Her Go big or go home collection features collars, pendants, bracelets and earrings. Much of the jewelry features gorgeous Swarovski crystals and gold. Much of her designs are large and chunky, which would go well with simple outfits.
