Amp up your wardrobe with a statement necklace!

The long gypsy style trinket necklace is finally on its way out after its 3 season reign. Meet the new jewellery contender:

The Statement necklace.

With stars like Lily Allen and Taylor Momsen stepping out with this new trend, its time to get Neck and Neck with these savvy fashionistas!

The statement necklace, or bib necklace, is worn on your collarbone just underneath your neck and is usually thick, or jewel encrusted. This style of necklace is the focus of your outfit rather than the addition.

This trend is easily adaptable to your personal style, as the look comes in a variety of different styles.

For a grunge feel, add leather, black or studded statement necklaces to pretty dresses under leather jackets.

For more of an understated look, statement necklaces look great over plain white T's and under blazers during the day.

For those with a more feminine style, try adding an embellished necklace to your wardrobe,

and...  look out for necklaces with stones in different colours!

For a mature statement necklace, find a necklace which is not too overpowering, avoid thick chains and too many stones.
