All About The Statement Necklace

With the more understated necklace taking center stage in recent months, one would think that those fabulous statement pieces are on the decline. Alas, such is not true! Oh sure, as trends go, their popularity will wane from time to time, but they will continue to be a necessary wardrobe staple for many of us, as they linger in the background.

I love the idea of a fabric necklace like those offered by Kapow! Wow!. What a great alternative to scarf trend. I can imagine that either would prove a comfortable wear, as well as adding a chic and colorful touch to a tank or maxi dress.

Whether they're made of fabric, adorned with coins or laden with crystals, the statement necklace is always in season!

Extreme Necklaces?

Rihanna & Karl Lagerfeld

Kelly Wearstler
Lady GaGa
Lake Bell
Maggie Gyllenhaal



The bigger — and odder — the better. That’s clearly the motto du jour among a certain set when it comes to accessorizing their necklines. Not content to merely decorate their décolletage with a simple sprinkling of diamonds, these celebs and socials have been breaking out all manner of necklaces from torso-length feathery confections to barbed wire-inspired statement makers.

Never one to shy away from a bijou or two, Daphne Guinness went tribal at the NARS 15x15 launch fete in New York, while Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kelly Wearstler opted for less glitzy, but no less subtle, takes on the look with fringed fabric bibs. Lake Bell gave her LBT a punk flare with a silver spiked piece at a New York screening of her latest flick, “It’s Complicated.” Incessantly papped songstress Rihanna gave photographers plenty to shoot when she donned a chunky version of Chanel’s iconic logo-laden strands to the fashion house’s spring presentation. And couture darling Lady Gaga had a veritable chandelier hanging from her throat in the form of a weighty, diamond-encrusted bauble. Such high-impact and burdensome statements are likely not pain-free — these girls might want to add chiropractors to their holiday wish lists.

Extreme? I think not.....I love each and every one. I appreciate the fact that some women take it beyond the norm.
