Bib Necklaces Worth Drooling Over

For decades, loving mothers have draped cloth bibs around their babies’ chests to protect their adorable, miniature garments from drool, spit-up, and the many accidents that happen during the feeding process. But, at some point, jewelry designer smartened up and decided that, if they took the silhouettes of these bibs and used them as the framework for their designs, it would be the recipe for genius (and not of the baby variety). This season, we’re seeing bib necklaces fashioned out of chiffon or silk rosettes, crystal clusters, chain strands, and beaded and embroidered fabric — all of which will make you look so fab that every man who checks you out will wanna call you his “baby.”
