Nothing says style better than a statement necklace. But, sometimes it can be hard to create a look around it.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
White
Lulu Frost Lustre Multi-Strand Statement Necklace, Alexandre Birman Clarita Leather Sandals, Ileana Makri Women’s Round & Baguette White Diamond Band, Sunday Brunch Orange to Gold Color Kissed Ultra Holo Nail Polish, Nancy Newberg Yellow Gold Pearl and Diamond Cluster Cuff
As you may or may not have guessed, this statement necklace and matching accessories will put a bit of a dent in your pocket, but look how gorgeous they all are!
The multi-strand necklace is made up of 12 karat gold-plated brass, glass simulated pearl beads and glass crystals.
Couple that with a gold pearl and diamond band, and you have yourself an outfit already.
This set works with golds and whites, and as a whole, is quite busy already.
You may want to wear this with a simple white or cream dress.
Or if you want it to stand out, try wear something navy blue.

Black
Preowned 1930s Art Deco Bakelite Chrome Geometric Bib Collar Statement necklace, Retrouvaí Black Onyx Swivel Earrings, Jimmy Choo Celeste glittered canvas clutch, Giuseppe Zanotti Runway
Probably more so than the above set, this combination is all about simplicity.
But just because this set is simple, does not make it any less capable to be a show-stopper.
There is something visually appealing about the geometric combination of the round earrings and the rectangular statement necklace that shouts strength.
This look would go great with a grey-inspired look.
They could also be perfect for office wear (perhaps with a more formal pair of shoes and bag).

Red
Wine Red Feather Tassel Stone Statement Necklace, Arena Allure Gladiator Sandals, Marni Embellished Metal Earrings, Chanel Beauty Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour/0.4 Oz.
This is a great look is a mix of fun and boldness.
This combination can work well both for a day-time event or an evening one.
With a heavy and busy statement necklace, you would want to keep your outfit (or rather your top) quite simple in order to draw attention to the necklace.
If you want to add a bit more colour to the look, you can always try on some red printed pants.
If you’re out during the day, put on a pair of Bvlgari BV6083 sunglasses to keep the look streamline and add a bit more awesomeness.

Gold
Oscar de la Renta Bold Flower Necklace, Michael Kors Brecken Gold Watch Gold Watches No Size, Kenneth Jay Lane 5 Row Hinged Cuff, Valentino Rockstud Large Zip Pouch Bag
This look is all about elegance.
Don’t you love the intricate details in the gold sculptured flowers?
The supporting accessories are all relatively simple, to help let the necklace shine.
This combination would look radiant against the backdrop of a black dress, and will also match with the black dial on the Michael Kors watch.

Metallic
Jenny Packham Butterfly Statement Necklace, Alexis Bittar Studded Crystal Spike Drop Earrings, Women’s Jimmy Choo Celeste Glitter Frame Clutch, Jimmy Choo Lolita 100 Strappy LaserCut Metallic Leather Sandals
This combination has amazing intricacy.
The butterfly statement necklace and the spike drop earrings both have a geometric feel to them.
This look will work best for a night event though it is easily amended if you want something daytime friendly.
You’d need to swap out the glitter clutch for something matte, and perhaps combine the look with a smart top and high waisted pants.
When you accessorize, remember the occasion and your outfit.
It can be easy to over-accessorize which can be a shame especially when you’re wearing such beautiful statement necklaces.
If in doubt, less can be more. You will want to choose a focal point (e.g. the statement necklace) and build the look around it.
