Statement Necklaces

A statement necklace has the power to define your overall look and style, helping to draw the eye and make you stand out.    

So much more than a beautiful piece of jewellery, a statement necklace showcases your unique style and reflects the brighter and bolder aspects of your personality. It can also help create a more balanced silhouette and accentuate your features.

A statement necklace is the perfect accessory to tie a look together, serving as the focal point of your outfit. There are many styles of statement necklaces to choose from, like thick chains to create luminous depth, enhancer pendants with intricate patterns, and emerald-cut and oval cut gemstones for a regal touch. When it comes to making a statement, the bolder and more eye-catching your necklace, the better. 

Other accessories can also help make your statement necklace shine. Pair silver statement earrings or other silver statement jewellery with a deco pendant necklace for a little vintage-inspired glam. Or a rose gold belcher chain with a pair of pink statement earrings to create a stylish cohesive look.

Statement necklaces are often worn during special occasions or a fun night out, giving you the chance to shake up your look in a fun and creative way. Emphasise the sleek lines of a V-neck with long statement necklaces, or use a sapphire enhancer pendant as an elegant centrepiece for classic style combinations, like black suit pants and a white silk blouse.      

But any occasion can be the perfect occasion to wear a statement necklace. Highly adaptable, statement necklaces have become quite popular to team with casual wear, offering a more modern feel while levelling out their formal nature.    

Brighten up an all-black ensemble with a glossy snake chain or a pendant featuring radiant diamonds. Take a more contemporary approach to a traditional pearl statement necklace with a sundress or a leather jacket. Or wear layered chains as a statement piece while out with friends. 

Despite their bold look, there really is no right or wrong time to wear a statement necklace.

A statement necklace will be the focal point for your look, so if you’re going bold, you’ll want to keep other accessories to a minimum.  

Consider the ‘less is more’ philosophy: Keep the rest of your outfit simple so that your necklace remains the stunning centrepiece. Go for monochromes and neutral tones, providing a stylish backdrop to a gold statement necklace or silver statement necklace. Remember, your necklace is meant to do just that - make a statement. 

Helping a statement necklace stand out is, of course, the right accent jewellery pieces. For example, a pair of subtle diamond earrings will allow your necklace to take centre stage. Or if you’d prefer a more minimalist chain or necklace, let your statement earrings be the piece to stand out. 

The best thing to wear with a statement necklace, though, is confidence. So be sure to choose something that feels as good to wear as it looks.

Chunky statement necklaces are definitely on trend.    

While statement jewellery may have once been reserved for the most special of occasions, fashion has since become a lot brighter, bolder and more daring as people are more willing to experiment with their tastes and creatively express themselves.   

Chunky statement necklaces are now seen on the street as much as they are at cocktail hour or red carpet events, speaking to the versatility of such pieces. Create a truly edgy look by combining a chunky statement necklace with a denim jacket, an oversized jumper or a long cardigan, or a chunky silver necklace with a more colourful ensemble, providing balance and shine.  

Chunky statement necklaces have a way of feeling both modern and timeless, especially in the case of plain chains. Thicker chain types like paperclip, belcher and solid curb chains are bold enough to be worn on their own or can even be layered with finer chains or another statement piece for a more original look. 

When deciding on which statement necklace to buy, don’t be afraid to go big. Choose a chunky statement necklace that lets your unique beauty and personality shine through, while also considering the types of outfits that you're likely to pair it with.
