Statement Diamond Necklaces

Quick answer: Statement diamond necklaces go beyond a simple pendant to become the focal point of an outfit. The most popular styles are Y necklaces (a central drop that forms a Y), fringe necklaces (graduated stones hanging like a fringe), station necklaces (stones spaced along the chain), and bezel-set mixed-shape necklaces. Wear them with simple, open necklines, keep earrings smaller, and choose a length that lets the design sit flat and centered.

A statement necklace can transform a little black dress or a wedding look. Here is how to choose and wear one.

Statement Necklace Styles

How to Wear a Statement Necklace

• Let it lead: keep earrings simple, such as small studs.
• Choose clean necklines: busy prints and ruffles compete with the necklace.
• Mind the length: the center should sit at or just below the collarbone.
• Balance proportions: smaller frames suit finer designs; larger frames carry bolder pieces.
