Startling Statement

I love a statement necklace but so often they are full of jewels and baubles that can dominate an outfit. So let's look at some eye-catching statement necklaces that don't rely on the usual chunky baubles but still make an entrance.

Nordstrom, Rebecca Minkoff Catalina Seed Bead Statement Necklace, $79

See what I mean? Pow.

Macy's, Ralph Lauren Gold Tone Multi Bead Statement Necklace, $77

Something totally different. Earthy feel to it but still dressy.

BaubleBar, Tiziana Statement Necklace, $68

A beautiful mix of nautical colors with a layered look.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Gold Tone Corded Tassel Statement Necklace, $55

This piece has a regal look to it. I love the mix of materials with this powerful red.

Sure a blingy statement necklace is always a go to piece in my closet, but try to mix it up with something powerful that is also unexpected.
