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.

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.
