Oversized Hot Dog and Camera Necklaces by Yazbukey

— December 20, 2008 — Lifestyle
Yazbukey is a fabulous jewelry brand created by Yaz and Emel, two Ottoman sisters (and princesses!). They make exciting collections inspired by musicals with gorgeous neck and ear pieces.

I think Yazbukey's new Spring/Summer 09 collection entitled "Fantasies" is absolutely cute and fun with its oversized American symbols.

The collection is inspired by American tourist codes--and, as Antimonide puts it, "...the American way of life imagined by someone who's never been to the USA."

I particularly fancy the camera-necklace piece.
