Statement Necklace Tips
Neckline
When choosing a statement necklace, consider the neckline of your outfit. Longer necklaces with pendants look great with V-necks. Chokers and collar necklaces frame strapless or scoop necks beautifully. Match the necklace shape to the neckline shape for the most flattering proportions.
Color & Gemstone
Choose gemstone colors and textures that complement your skin tone. Cool-toned stones like emerald and sapphire look great on warm skin tones. Citrine and carnelian with neutral outfits will make them pop. Birthstone pieces for added meaning.
Balancing Boldness
The secret to wearing statement necklaces is balancing boldness with simplicity. An intricate design can elevate the elegance and luxury of a statement necklace, making it perfect for formal and special occasions. Wear with simpler dresses or tops and let the necklace be the statement. Don’t compete with embellished garments or loud prints. Let the necklace be the focal point.
Day-to-Night Versatility
Look for statement pieces with detachable lengths or reversible styles to wear from day to night. Invest in layered necklaces with mixed metals and gemstones to change up the look.
Care & Longevity
Store statement necklaces to prevent tangles and damage over time. Use soft jewelry pouches or boxes with separated compartments. Clean with a soft jewelry polishing cloth. Get professional repairs if links become loose or damaged.
