Statement necklaces are the alpha and omega of any ensemble. Thus, wearing one makes a bold superlative unspoken statement, representing the focal point of your outfit.

Statement necklaces are characteristically unique, large, attention-grabbing pieces with intricate details and an excessive amount of sparkle, shimmer and shine. They come in a wide variety of styles i.e. bejeweled pieces, beaded baubles, and metals. They also come in an infinite number of colors and color combinations. In addition, statement necklaces come in different fits: like bibs, chokers, frontals, collars, and long/layered chains.

When pairing a statement necklace with a simple tee, solid peplum or tank top with a pair of jeans, the perfect go-to piece is the Chunky Chain Link Collar Necklace. It’s a metallic necklace that adds pop by dressing up your outfit and it comes in both silver and gold at www.madisongems.com. Gem Babes! don’t forget to wear heels to add that extra flair, especially if you’re wearing boyfriend jeans.

Another big hit is a colored statement necklace. It adds a certain je ne sais quoi to your look that’s unparalleled, as well as, spruces-up neutral colored wardrobes and simple prints. You can dress up a chambray shirt, add color to a LBD, elevate a casual graphic tee, uplift a sweatshirt, and colorize a white dress. The perfect colored bauble is the Bead Cluster Frontal Necklace Set from www.madisongems.com.

On the other hand, when it comes to cocktail attire you must dare to be noticed, by wearing your biggest, flashiest, and most electrifying bauble. I’m talking major objet d’art status; and the fitting conversation piece is the Snake Chain Statement Bib Necklace Set from www.madisongems.com.

However, for a bejeweled cocktail attire adornment that will have you looking like a fabulous red carpet-worthy celebrity, you should go with the pièce de résistance of necklaces; the Laurel Wreath Marquise Evening Necklace Set or the Stone Drama Necklace Set from www.madisongems.com.

Withal, whether you’re wearing a simple tee & jeans or you’re decked-out for a cocktail party, the right statement necklace can elevate your look dazzlingly. Nevertheless, being that your statement necklace is already so vivacious, you must make sure you tone down your other accessories because you don’t want to overwhelm your neckline or your overall look. In spite of this, I recommend wearing simple studs or hoops. Moreover, it doesn’t hurt to wear a nice statement cocktail ring to finish your avant-garde look and show off your awesome manicure while you’re at it.
