What is a statement necklace?

There’s a big misconception that statement necklaces have to be big and bold. While bold jewelry can definitely make an impact, statement necklaces basically imply something unique, which really capture the attention and they can be worn every day. So eliminate any preconceptions you have about statement necklaces and focus purely on finding something that offers a unique design and can often be the icing in the cake to set your outfit off.

Top styles available for summer 2015

There is such a wide range of statement necklaces out there, but this season some are definitely more popular than others. If you really want to stay on trend, the following styles are the ones you should be focusing on:

  • Bibs
  • Chokers
  • Personalized names
  • Birthstone
  • Small and dainty

Bib necklaces offer one of the boldest looks and a great example can be found on Touchstone Crystal blog. Given its name due to the oval design, just like a baby’s bib, this large, bold necklace goes great with the summer casual look.It is particularly perfect for those cooler days which require you to wear a sweater.

Chokers are another in-thing right now. Unlike bibs, these don’t need to be big and bold. You can find dainty, elegant chokers that are perfect for the summer evening look. Aim for crystal based items for the classiest look.

What could be more unique than a personalized name necklace? Personalized jewelry is something you can keep forever and it helps you to stand out from the crowd. It doesn’t have to be your own name. You could opt for the names of your children, a member of your family or even your spouse. Available in a wide range of designs, some name necklaces come with additional details such as love hearts or scroll effects. These also make great gifts for someone with a birthday this summer.

Birthstone jewelry is also a great way to personalize your look. Again these necklaces come in a wide variety of designs. Not only do they represent your birth month, but they also add color to your summer look. Like personalized name necklaces, they can signify your birth month, or those of your children and loved ones and will mean something special to you too.

Finally small and dainty necklaces are an ideal investment this summer as they allow you to create a more layered style. Layered necklaces add a bold design and they really go well with the on-trend layered clothing look. You can find plenty of statement necklace ideas on Pinterest if you’re stuck for inspiration.

Overall statement necklaces come in a wide variety of styles and designs. Why not take a look online to see what’s currently trending? No matter what your budget, there will always be a statement necklace to fit it. It’s worth investing in a few different styles to suit every occasion. Remember, statement necklaces don’t have to be big and bold, there are all kinds on offer that provide a more subtle, unique look.
