近几年在时尚圈很流行用珠宝或鞋子等配饰来表达自己的个性“宣言”,而这种略显夸张、彰显个性的珠宝也被称为statement jewelry(宣言珠宝)。
Statement jewelry is a jewelry that allows women to define their own style and stand out as individuals. People use accessories, mainly jewelry, to make statements about who they are and what they value.
“宣言珠宝”就是让女人能展现自我风格、傲立群芳的醒目珠宝。人们用饰品(主要是珠宝)来宣告自己的身份和价值观。
Statement jewelry is bold and unique, and it conveys a statement about who the wearer is. By consciously choosing what kind of statement to make, this statement becomes more than just communication to others. It is a statement to oneself, encouraging a person to act the part. In the end, statement jewelry is meant to boost one's confidence.
“宣言珠宝”的设计大胆又独特,鲜明地传达出主人的身份信息。精心挑选“宣言珠宝”的意义不仅在于向他人传达信息,也是对自己的宣言,鼓励一个人去扮演自己的角色。“宣言珠宝”的最终目的还是为了提升主人的自信心。
Statement jewelry is usually big. Chandelier earrings, thick bangles, and bulky pendants are common adornments. Wear only one piece of statement jewelry at a time. When wearing a statement piece of jewelry, choose clothes and other accessories that are pretty calm.
“宣言珠宝”通常都较大。大吊坠耳环、厚重的手镯、大块的吊坠都是常见的“宣言珠宝”。不过,一次只能佩戴一件“宣言珠宝”。在佩戴“宣言珠宝”的时候,所选择的衣服和其他配饰都要相对低调。
