Fashion Week Style: The “Statement Necklace”

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably already know that this past week was Fashion Week in NYC – a time for designers to preview some of the newest trends that they have in store for the upcoming season. This year, we saw a lot of retro-throwback dresses, tailored suits, and eye-poppingly bright colors but the one trend that grabbed us most was the return of the Statement Necklace.

What is a Statement Necklace, you ask? It’s that extra “something” you add to an otherwise “meh” ensemble; a Statement Necklace is what turns a nice dress into an AMZAZING outfit. Acclaimed veteran designers like Anna Sui and Oscar De La Renta used Statement Necklaces at Fashion Week to punch up their new lines, adding a touch of pizazz and glamor that gives an outfit edge.

Choosing and wearing a Statement Necklace is easy, since the only rule to follow is “big and bold”. For a classic look, multiple layered necklaces with colorful gemstones, such as this gorgeous multi-strand freshwater multi-color pearl necklace from ShopDI.com, let you follow the Statement Necklace trend in a very elegant way (and for a tiny price – it’s under $100!). If you’re feeling a little more playful and adventurous, this bold 14k yellow gold citrine & diamond pendant will add a burst of color to an otherwise “blah” getup. These and many more Statement Necklaces are available now at Diamonds International, where you get free shipping all year long!
