9 Bold Statement Necklaces to Instantly Elevate Your Style

1. A Statement in Pink

I adore pink necklaces that make a statement, partly because a good portion of my wardrobe is devoted to black and white. Something pink, whether it's vibrant hot pink or softly feminine like a classic beaded piece from ModCloth, can add a luscious bit of loveliness to your ensemble. Beads are always a great way to make a statement, so check out similar pink necklaces or beaded pieces at ASOS, BaubleBar, and Forever 21. You'll find that a pop of pink is the perfect way to refresh your look.

2. Simple but Chic

You can make a statement while still being subtle. Sometimes some chunky links or a single eye-catching detail does the trick. Vince Camuto's designs are excellent examples of this balanced approach. You can find inspired, affordable pieces pretty much everywhere, in gold, silver, bronze, and pewter.

3. Sharp and Pointy Style

Most statement necklaces are colorful, but that doesn't mean you can't get a little edgy too. The spikes on a bold statement necklace add some punk rock appeal to the jewels and coral pieces. I suggest checking out Torrid for some hardcore statement necklaces that really pack a punch. It’s a great way to add some attitude to a feminine outfit.

4. Ride the Wild Side

A lot of necklaces that make a statement feature animals. It's becoming a big trend, so you can find pretty much any animal in any color from places like ASOS, Etsy, and Anthropologie. I for one am mad for feathered designs, which add a unique texture to any outfit. They are conversation starters and show off your playful side.

5. Evoke the Sunset

Bright colors are a key aspect of statement necklaces, as you can see with vibrant beaded designs available at Nordstrom. You'll be able to find plenty of options that fit your budget, but do keep an eye out for vibrant hues – whether you prefer sunset shades of salmon, yellow, and gold, oceanic colors, or a pretty purple palette. These colors can instantly brighten your complexion and your mood.

6. Blooming with Fashion

Floral-inspired necklaces are perfectly charming and often give off a high-end designer feel. You can find necklaces with this type of floral look in every color imaginable from ASOS, J.Crew, Anthropologie, and many other retailers. They are perfect for spring and summer but can also brighten up a winter ensemble.

7. Dark and Decadent

Although bright colors are popular, you can feel free to unleash your darker side. A dramatic floral necklace in darker tones can be incredibly sophisticated. You can find darker palettes from Forever 21, Nordstrom, and many other top jewelry spots, so don't be afraid to get a bit more dramatic with your choices. It's an excellent choice for evening wear.

8. Sleek Meets Sizzling

Sometimes you just want something a little sleek and understated. When you're in the mood for that subtle statement look, try something with a metallic sheen or a unique geometric shape. Play around with beads or chunky chains; you don't have to go all out in bright colors to make a splash. Check out our guide on essential accessories for every wardrobe to see how to balance these pieces with the rest of your look.

9. Plain with a Punch

You don't have to keep your colors neutral, either. You can still find something simple and statement-making. I started with pink, and I'm ending with it as well. Hot pink and black is such a classic, striking combination! You'll get a lot of wear out of a bold piece like this, as it can transition from day to night with ease.

Statement necklaces are fun, but they can also be incredibly chic. It all depends on what kind of look you're going for, whether you want to be vibrant and vivacious or sleek and stunning. Still, there's something for everyone, even if your idea of a statement leans more toward subtle.
