Trending Style: Statement Necklaces

Make a statement with your necklace! Statement-making jewellery isn't a new idea—on the contrary, it's an idea as old as jewellery itself. But the "statement necklace" is a thing that's boomed to prominence since the 1960s. Statement necklaces are pieces that are meant to help a woman express her style in a dramatic way. By making a statement, these necklaces draw attention to the aspects of a personality most important to their wearer. There's no such thing as a "standard" statement necklace, but they do have features that tend to be common.

For example, big necklaces are common statement pieces, so if you're looking to express yourself with a sizeable pendant or a chunky chain necklace, turning it into an explicit fashion statement is a great choice. Also, instead of your refined necklace with white gold and diamonds, you may opt to pick a piece rich with the coloured gemstones that are ideal for your tastes.

Big Names in Luxury Necklaces

Themes are another trait of the statement necklace. Art Deco style and floral themes are two features that women often choose for their statement necklaces, and if you're searching for floral necklaces, you may prefer taking a look at the Organic Allure and Garden collections from Simon G. thanks to their ability to express natural themes in a well-crafted way.

A "rebellion" against demureness is a feature that people like embracing when it comes to their statement necklace. After all, the expression of personal style isn't supposed to blend into the crowd. To that end, you may appreciate the Refined Rebel collection from Zeghani. Unexpected design elements and materials come together in these pieces to create abstract looks, interlinking circles, and other features that aren't accentuated in necklaces more aligned with the mainstream.

Statement necklaces are also a great choice to complement scoop-neck or v-neck shirts and blouses. Often, it can be difficult to choose a necklace that fits with the large canvas of open skin left from these fashion choices. If you choose this particular path when choosing statement necklaces, you may prefer stacking necklaces. Pairing multiple "chunky" necklaces can add up to create a statement in itself; we suggest utilizing the same metal in each piece, such as rows of sterling silver necklaces. Try to aim for at least three necklaces and vary the length for a more striking look!
