Looking for a way to make a style statement?

Dainty jewelry is fine, but nothing provides impact like a statement necklace.

What classifies as a statement necklace? Anything that’s bold or chunky or really stands out to make a statement.

1. Choose a Contrast Color Statement Necklace.

Have fun with a play on colors by picking two brights: one for your outfit and another for your statement necklace.

a bright blue necklace against a yellow dress, wear lime and pink, give orange and yellow a try.

And nothing looks bolder than mixing black and white together for major contrast.

2. Go Clear or Neutral with Your Statement Necklace.

Choose shapes not necessarily just color to make a statement.

Looks such as a gobstopper necklace with clear beads makes a sophisticated addition to an outfit, but aren’t overwhelming because they are neutral.

Neutrals include colors like white or beige (and all the “naturals” range.)

3. Go a Little Crazy with Your Statement Necklace

The allure of the statement necklace is that it is made to attract attention.

Try something a little wild like a long feather necklace that looks half art/half accessory.

Look for handmade artisan pieces or wear amazing vintage finds.

4. Mix It Up with Statement Necklace

Don't be tempted to wear matching necklace and earrings: it's too old-fashioned!

If you want to keep the elements similar, choose the same colors, but change up the shapes.

5. Go Monochromatic with Your Statement Necklace

For a sophisticated look, layer on accessories in the same color family for a monochromatic look.

For example a black necklace worn with a black top or dress gives texture and interest to a black dress, but completes the chic look by being the same color.

6. Choose a Flattering Statement Necklace Color

It's more important to wear a color that is flattering than to choose a color that's trendy.

Look for colors that bring out your eye color or complement your skin tone.Find a color that goes well with your skin tone.

7. Layer Your Statement Necklaces

No need to limit yourself to just one statement necklace.

Add several for a super bold look.

Over sized pearls worn in layers combine to give you a major statement that’s still ladylike.

8. Opt for a Statement Choker

If you go with a choker style statement necklace, keep the elements dainty and/or neutral so they won't be overwhelming.

Try small colored pearls albeit lots of them for a look that's pretty but doesn't overwhelm so close to the face.

 9. Maximize a Print with a Statement Necklace

 Bring out elements of your print by choosing a color from it to use in your statement necklace.

 By using one color from a print the necklace gives it a "pop" that really pulls the entire look together.

 10. Wear it on bare skin

 One of the most interesting ways to wear a major necklace is to wear it with a strapless or very open-neck top or dress.

 The contrast of the statement necklace against bare skin is sexy and chic at the same time.
