Chunky Necklace

They absolutely are!

Chunky necklaces have been in style for years and years, featured in a range of cultures, and are, of course, still popular today.

They are worn to be stylish but also to symbolise different things, particularly throughout old traditions. For example, in Ancient Egypt, chunky necklaces were often worn to convey status and power.

Now, being bold in what you wear is becoming more and more popular, and chunky necklaces are the perfect match to do so. Whether you're dressing up for a night out or running an errand, statement necklaces make you walk with confidence.

When you look at an outfit and the necklace is one of the first things you notice, it's fair to say it's a statement. These jewellery pieces share common characteristics, including being bold, big, and detailed, just to name a few.

Having said this, statement necklaces are also very versatile and differ greatly from one another - that's what makes them so special! So, even if you think there's no statement necklace you would possibly be interested in, you simply haven't found the right one.

Since these items pack a lot of personality, knowing how to style them can be a challenge if it's your first piece.

To make it easier, let's break it down into what goes best with what necklace design, whether it be solid gold, sterling silver, or pearls.

A gold chunky necklace, such as a chain, goes well with anything simple, such as a T-shirt or basic dress with any neckline. Continue the theme throughout the ensemble with our Classic Figaro Chain Bracelet.

Sterling silver chunky necklaces create a polished look as it adds a note of elegance. If its a chain, go for a simple outfit such as jeans and a t-shirt. If it's a pendant or choker, try a boho chic look or even pair it with an office shirt.

Save your pearls for an evening gown as they are the epitome of timeless class. A simple dress and a chunky white pearl necklace will turn heads all day and night.

Cuff bracelets, statement rings, and drop earrings are just some examples of statement jewellery other than necklaces. They are gorgeous, but how do you style them?

Cuff bracelets were designed to be seen, so let them shine with short or quarter-length sleeves. You can pair them with a statement ring or two, but avoid too many as they won't pop as much as they deserve.

Our Molten Statement Open Ring pairs wonderfully with a chunky necklace.

This may be clear, but drop earrings should be worn with your hair up to let them bring attention to your face.

Don't be afraid to wear statement jewellery. Wearing a chunky necklace, drop earrings, and more can be paired with a simple outfit or even a loud one if that's what you love to wear. As long as you have the confidence, statement jewellery will do the rest.

The chunky necklace should be the foundation, so start with whatever piece goes best with your outfit and work from there.

You don't necessarily have to match materials. A gold statement necklace can be paired with a fine silver chain and vice versa. It adds texture to the collection, making an overall harmonious outfit.

It's all about contrast because that is what creates balance. Use a small necklace or multiples of various lengths, including a pendant or choker, if you wish.

In most cases, it's best to let the statement necklace be the star of the show; otherwise, you risk overwhelming the collection of jewellery.

Stud earrings are a very safe option and look amazing. The simple details in stud and pearl earrings accent the necklace while allowing it to draw the eye first.

Hoop earrings in gold or silver also work, and you can experiment with drop earrings as long as they aren't too bold. Drop earrings are especially appropriate if the necklace is strong, as they add femininity.

A chunky necklace is the star of any event but is just as suitable for everyday wear, it's all about how you style it.

For example, a thick chain necklace with charms offers a versatile choice for any occasion. You can make it classy with a cocktail dress or edgy with jeans and a T-shirt.

Formal outings and special occasions call for a beautifully crafted chunky necklace, especially if it's made of gold, silver, or pearls.

On the other hand, as fun as chunky necklaces are, they can be sophisticated and ideal for a professional environment. Wear a tailored blouse or blazer to create a chic work outfit.
