We know that during the winter months creating stylish outfits seems like afterthought. Our main concern is mostly staying warm and deciding if it’s okay to wear leggings, dresses and boots to work–everyday. But, it’s important to keep one’s sartorial spirit alive and to that end here are some great chunky handmade jewelry pieces (and one vintage design we love) from Etsy that are just perfect for the season.

Get bold and sport this knitted statement necklace made from mint green polymer clay rings and super soft grey cotton yarn. It’s fastened by tying on the cotton ribbons and so the length can be adjusted. This handmade jewelry style comes in a variety of color combinations to suit your winter wardrobe.

This chunky handmade jewelry design is part necklace and part scarf and is the perfect necklace to add some drama to your look without sacrificing comfort and warmth! This easy to wear piece is made from hand-knitted circles that are joined to form a necklace that slips over the head. Who says fashion can’t be comfortable?
4. Winter Bangle Grey Branches Chunky Perspex Bracelet

For a true statement design, consider this chunky bangle. It’s made from Perspex acrylic, which is similar to Lucite, and features a gorgeous photo image of grey silhouetted winter tree branches. The way the bracelet is constructed it creates an optical illusion of softness as the image is viewed through the Perspex. Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
