Review: Fantasy Jewelry Box Lissette’s Cascading Snow White Bib Style Necklace

by Vahni on May 20, 2010

The moment I spotted Lissette’s Cascading Snow White Bib from Fantasy Jewelry Box, I knew it wouldn’t disappoint. Those white faceted beads embedded in cool silver hardware make it the perfect summer statement necklace—a bib that is large, but not cumbersome visually. I had it mind for a particular long white dress that holds sentimental value for me. I only wish I’d had the necklace the first time I wore the dress, which I changed into after shedding my wedding dress. It would have been perfect!

So there’s me in that very special dress I was talking about. See, I told you so! The necklace is absolute perfection with it, is it not? And let me tell you a few other reasons why this necklace (which is also available in black, orange, and turquoise), is perfection on many levels.

Lissette’s Cascading Snow White Bib has a large lobster claw clasp—and large links in the chain—which make it very easy to put on. There is also enough play in the chain so you can adjust the length of the necklace to your preference. Aside from that, it is extremely comfortable on. If you’re a fan of big, bold jewelry, you know that sometimes with all that boldness comes unwanted (and uncomfortable) weight. Not so with this lovely piece. It has just enough weight to keep if from moving too much on the neck, but not so much that you feel like you’re being weighed down by it.

Bottom Line

Lissette’s Cascading Snow White Bib Style Necklace by Fantasy Jewelry Box is one knockout necklace! And it’s versatile as well. There is no reason you can’t wear it with a formal dress, or throw it on with a little summer shift, or a strappy top, shorts, and wedges. And in black, I think it could go full-on, black-tie formal. Makes me wish I had it in black as well.

PROS:

  • It’s gorgeous—a true statement piece that is breathtaking on.
  • It’s comfortable and lays beautifully—no spinning/shifting on the neck.
  • The price—under $50! Appropriate and still on the low-end for costume jewelry.

CONS:

  • On very close inspection (like two inches), you can tell this is not a high-end piece.
