When I was younger my Grandma Maxine used to wear these big pieces of funky jewelry, oftentimes with thick golds and metals in the shape of animals. They were always bejeweled and I always thought they were weird. Oh, Grandma, if you can hear me in heaven, “You were right and I was wrong, and yes, you really were a trendsetter.”

So in honor of Grandma Maxine and her incredible sense of style, I present to you one of Fall 2012′s biggest trends: jungle-inspired jewelry.
