The Best Statement Necklaces You Could Possibly Give the Girl This Holiday Season
Statement necklaces take on new iterations each season. While Meghan Markle makes the case for treasures she picks up on her travels (remember that painted pasta necklace she rocked in Melbourne and the Pounamu stone she was gifted in New Zealand?), other designs, such as shell jewelry and logo pendants, remain prominent street style trends. If you're looking to gift a special someone a very special chain this holiday season — one that she'll wear proudly well into 2019 — we've got some ideas for you.
Shell Jewelry
Whether your piece is layered with more gold chains or stands alone, if you love the ocean, this is the way to show it.
Chainlink
Does you prefer gold or silver hardware? Make that decision first, then invest in a choker length design or something you can wrap around twice.
Logo Pendant
Finish off a bohemian dress with your favorite logo: it's the closest thing to wearing your heart on your sleeve when it comes to jewelry.
Turquoise Beads
Interwork colorful beading into your necklace collection and layer with a few more delicate pendants that you treasure.
Pearls
Pearls will always be a classic, but when they're wrapped and layered big and small — especially over a bralette — they can bring edge instead of a preppy touch. It's all about how you style them.
Layering Pieces, Like Stones
Lucite stones that swing down stand out over a cozy sweater or a completely neutral outfit.
