I am crazy in love with big jewels...the bigger and gaudier the better. There's nothing quite like a major faceted choker or a Wonder Woman-style cuff to make you look as though you know what you're doing in the style department. Here are some of my recent, reasonably priced faves of late.
1. Vintage Weiss Rhinestone Necklace—Quality counts, and Weiss produced some incredibly gorgeous and beautifully made pieces back in the day. This isn't the biggest, but it packs enough original sparkle to put that ordinary rhinestone crap to shame. Starting bid, $20, check it out here....

2. Vintage Horn Pendant—The seller says this is Avon but who knows. And really it doesn't matter considering how totally cool it is. Starting bid, $9.99, check it out here....
3. Vintage Western Cuff—Random and a little hokey, but amazing. I would wear this in a heartbeat. Starting bid, $65, check it out here....
