Much like the going-out top, the statement necklace used to feel like ALL we needed to look our best, put together, styled instead of dressed.
And much like the going-out top, we’re ready for them to make a comeback.
Fortunately, there are so many out there that we love right now, each for different reasons but with the same goal: to have one piece of jewelry we throw on with any boring thing and make us suddenly look elevated, captivating, original.
Here are 9 of our most favorite necklaces with one we think quite fun bonus at the end.
1. Victoria Beckham Perfume Bottle Necklace In Brushed Gold
It’s pretty and romantic on its own, but If you are a scent fiend like us, you’ll also appreciate the instant access to your favorite eau de parfum at all times of day.
Price: $350
2. J.Crew Baroque Pearl Necklace
Over-scaled pearls are underrated. They convert all clothes into a look. Of course, J.Crew would make our favorite costume strand. They’re back baby!
Price: $79.50
3. Quince 14K Gold Script Name Necklace
We were going to show you a smoldering, iconic photo of the one and only Carrie Bradshaw in her own signature name necklace, but instead we’ll show you one of us, wearing this customizable Quince design, because it is just as perfect as Carrie’s. Still classic. Still bold. Still love it!
Price: $398
4. Banana Republic Pierced Choker
We walked into a Banana Republic recently, and by God, it felt like we’d been through a time machine back to the heyday of this beloved mall brand. The store itself was beautiful, the clothes we impeccable quality, and the jewelry was thrilling and original. We saw this choker in person and have had it on our wishlists ever since. Given the price though, we think we’re ready to buy!
Price: $150
5. Sccollection Amore Heart Necklace
The pendant comes in too many colors we love. Red is classic, but we also have it in our carts in bella blue for spring.
Price: $175
6. Heaven Mayhem Julia Necklace
It’s simple and original. Understated. And most importantly, it reminds of Diane:
Price: $120
7. Jane Win PROTECT JW Original Pendant Coin
Every pendant coin necklace from Jane Win is more lovely than the last. Plus, it’s a quarter of the price of many similar, but less interesting designs. If you’re looking for a gift, we can’t recommend this one more.
Price: $328
8. Cult Gaia Calla Vine Choker
Cult Gaia is a brilliant brand for those of us who get very sick of dressing like everyone else. We fell in love with their flower sandal* for spring and summer wedding season, but this choker is now making appearances in our dreams.
Price: $298
9. Alexis Bittar Liquid Lucite Sprout Collar
Literally dripping in gold. Pair this artful necklace with a simple black dress or a white button-down unbuttoned at the top, and you’ll never be dressed more exciting.
Price: $495
Bonus: Our Very Own Editor-in-Chief’s Necklace Stack
Sometimes all it takes to make a statement necklace is a bespoke stack of everyday pieces you already own and love. This one belongs to our EIC, Audie. People on the street stop her to compliment her stack. But if you look closely, every piece is actually kind of perfect on its own.
At The Candidly, we try a lot of stuff so you don’t have to. We only recommend things we truly love, and that we think you’ll love, too. All products are chosen independently by our creative team, and all details reflect the price and availability of products at the time of publication.
