Statement Necklace

What is a statement necklace?

A statement necklace essentially makes a statement. Whether in bold design, a unique style, a fun colour, or an interesting material, a statement necklace is meant to stand out. A statement necklace doesn't need to be big in size, but sometimes they are.

Statement necklaces are often costume jewellery. However, you can also find statement necklaces with diamonds, pearls, and other premium materials. Our statement necklaces come in many materials, depending on how much you want to spend.

You may decide to go for a more affordable option if the jewellery is only to be worn for a single formal event. But if not, you can take a look at our diamond and moissanite options, too!

How should I wear a statement necklace?

You can wear a statement necklace in a few ways. These include the following.

• With a simple outfit: A statement necklace can be worn with a plain dress or outfit to help the outfit stand out. You might choose to wear a special necklace with a plain outfit so the necklace gets the attention it deserves.
• To tie an outfit together: A statement necklace in bright colours can be used to tie a bright-coloured outfit together.
• With other jewellery: A statement necklace with matching earrings can be worn to make an outfit more formal. We offer many necklaces with matching earrings so you can achieve this look.

Are statement necklaces out of fashion?

While the styles often change, the concept of a bold statement necklace can never go out of fashion.

As trends change, the best statement necklaces for evening wear will likely also change. However, there are some mainstays in the statement necklace game. These include the following.

• Diamonds: A diamond necklace, like a simpler silver chain with a diamond pendant or a diamond tennis necklace, is always going to be a fantastic statement necklace to invest in.
• Pearls: Another classic statement to make is pearls. Pearl necklaces are an elegant and classic choice and are always appropriate for formal events.
• Beads: A beaded statement necklace can come in various styles. You might find a brightly coloured option or a style with chunky beads. A chunky statement necklace is a great way to spruce up a casual outfit.

How do you wear a statement pendant?

A statement pendant necklace might include a large crystal or diamond or a shaped pendant. This could be a heart-shaped necklace or a floral statement necklace with a flower pendant. You can wear a statement pendant in a few ways.

• You could wear the pendant on its own to allow it to stand out
• You could layer the statement necklace with other, plainer chain necklaces, choker styles, or beaded necklaces
• You could also find a pendant necklace with matching earrings or other jewellery pieces like a ring or bracelet

Can you layer statement necklaces?

Yes! At Camile & Stone, we love layered necklaces. It gives you the opportunity to wear a few of your favourite styles in one outfit. We always recommend wearing chains of different lengths so that you can display them all properly.

When wearing a statement necklace among layers, it is a good idea to choose simple necklaces to pair it with. Consider plain chains, tennis necklaces, or even a choker necklace to create different lengths and a balanced look.

If you're looking for ways to pair your statement necklace with other jewellery pieces but don't want to wear multiple necklaces, you might consider pairing your necklace with ear jewellery, like studs and ear cuffs. You could also match your necklace to a bracelet or even the barrettes in your hair.

Should you wear big earrings with a big necklace?

Generally, people say you shouldn't do this because it might distract from your outfit or overwhelm it. However, at Camile & Stone, we believe you should wear the jewellery that you want, no matter what other people say.

You can very easily pair your statement necklace with big earrings. You might consider pairing a diamond pendant with a pair of plain hoops. You could also pair a silver statement necklace with plain diamond studs.

With a more colourful statement necklace, a pair of complimentary earrings could work. You might even be able to find these in a set where the beads or motifs match to bring your outfit together. Lastly, a great combination is to pair a chunky pearl necklace with some delicate pearl dangles.

By matching the big necklaces with big earrings you're much less likely to overwhelm the outfit and instead make the jewellery the focal point of the outfit.

What are statement necklaces made from?

Statement necklaces can be made from many different materials. These include:

• Precious metals: At Camile and Stone, we use sterling silver, gold, and rose-gold vermeil, and solid gold. These high-quality metals are perfect for chains and pendants.
• Beads, pearls, crystals: As statement necklaces are designed to draw the eye, beads are often brightly coloured or oversized. Pearls may be in interesting colours or configurations, and crystal pendants might also be outsized.
• Leather and other materials: Sometimes, statement necklaces are made with softer materials, like leather, denim, or PVC. These statement necklaces are usually much more artistic in design and are a very bold addition to your outfit.

How do I style an ethnic statement necklace?

An ethnic statement necklace is usually inspired by a specific culture. To begin with, when buying ethnic-style necklaces, it is important to buy from reputable sellers who are celebrating the culture and are within the culture themselves.

Ethnic styles can often include bright colours and intricate beading work. For this reason, this style of necklace always works great with a simple outfit; something elegant like a black dress or monochrome outfit will look great with the addition of the necklace.

If simple isn't your thing, though, have no fear. This kind of necklace can also work with brighter colours or even clashing patterns. Remember that styling jewellery is all about you and what you want!

What different styles of statement necklaces can I find at Camile & Stone?

At Camile & Stone, we have a stunning range of statement necklaces, including the following styles.

• Diamonds: In our diamond statement necklace range, you can find luxurious pendants that provide a statement with their sheer beauty. You can also find tennis necklaces which are made up of lots of little diamonds.
• Pendants: Our range of pendants includes lots of motifs, like hearts, crosses, and more.
• Chains: A simple chain can make its own statement. We offer a number of very intricate chain styles that might not be big and bold but will certainly draw the eye.
• Letter and name necklaces: Want personalised statement necklaces? We offer letter and name necklaces in various styles too.

How do I choose a statement necklace?

When we get questions like this at Camile & Stone, our first bit of advice is to think about what you want and your own personal style. Jewellery may have lots of 'rules', but at the end of the day, you're choosing something for life, and so it needs to be something you actually like!

When it comes to choosing statement necklaces, here are a few things to consider.

• The event: if you're shopping for an event, then make sure it is appropriate. For example, a statement necklace that is distracting might not be the best choice for a wedding. Let the bride have her day.
• The outfit: While a statement necklace can pull together a whole outfit, it does need to suit the outfit in the first place.
• Your comfort: Statement necklaces can be quite big, so remember that they're going to sit around your neck!
