For the Bold and Adventurous: Love making a statement? The rule here is simple: more is more. But even bold looks require balance. Start with one large statement charm—like Loewe’s stunning leather mushroom charm priced at NIS 2,200—and build around it with smaller, colorful pendants for a playful, cohesive look.

What About the Price? Like any fashion trend, prices vary widely. You can find a Zara floral pendant for as little as NIS 160 or splurge on a Miu Miu charm for NIS 2,700. The good news? You can achieve a winning look even on a budget—it's all about good taste and the right combinations.
