I have mentioned it before but by this point, nearly a year to my new job, most of my coworkers known about my blog. This leads to some interesting questions and usually inquires in to the world of fashion. Recently I had a great one, “what makes a statement necklace, a statement necklace?” Well, that is a very good question. When asked I defined it as a necklace that was very large and is usually made of colorful gemstones or crystals. This answer got me thinking what is exactly is a statement necklace and that this would be a great blog post.
To one up me, and it usually goes, Google says they are, “large necklaces with an excessive amount of dangle, beads, or intricate details and are made from a variety of materials and come in an infinite number of colors and color combinations.” Okay then. Putting together this post were definitely a few necklaces I added to my cart but then remembered, I already have nine pretty ones:
Of my statement necklaces the teal in the bottom left is my favorite and I wear it quite often. Laying them out like this reminds me that I definitely need to add them in to a more frequent rotation. In case statement necklaces are new to you or you do not have as many as I do here are seven great options under $100:
BP.Faceted Statement Necklace in Black $15
CAROL DAUPLAISE Day Glow Sparkly Statement Bib Necklace $20
AQUA Pammy Fireworks Necklace in Pink $24
Fragments Crystal Leaf Bib Necklace $38
Pearl Shower Bib $52
Natasha Multicolor 2-Row Statement Necklace $56
The Heartbreaker Bib $58
And as I have been learning lately, when people ask one thing, they often compare the answer to its polar opposite. So what is the opposite of a statement necklace? A dainty one like the pendants and charms I featured in my layering necklace post!
How do you feel about statement necklaces?

You have such a nice collection! I don’t really wear big chunky necklaces, I just don’t feel comfortable wearing them so according to Google’s description I can say, I don’t have a statement necklace 🙂
