Necklaces

A statement necklace can seriously amp up an outfit, as these stylish celebs prove. We love the ability to transform an outfit just by adding a great bib necklace, or a sparkling pendant necklace. Especially as Fall and Winter weather has us adding layers, jewels are the easiest way to add a pop of excitement, sophistication, or something on trend to add a little fashion to a cozy functional look. Check out our celeb accessory report, where necklaces, from Mandy Moore's playful Lela Rose piece to Monica Bellucci's decadent Cartier jewels, are the real star.

This breed of Fall jewelry makes true of the sentiment: the bigger, the better. Statement necklaces are all about bold color combinations, mixed metals, and major beads and embellishment. What we love about them is their ability to instantly transform, glamorize, and dress up our look; and, they look just as amazing with a white t-shirt as they do with our most elegant evening wear. The bonus? These editor's picks do all of that for less than $100. Click through to shop our 15 favorite statement necklaces to style up your standout looks.

We've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new Lulu Frost for J.Crew collection, and now, the time has come! J.Crew just released its complete collection online and in stores just in time for Fall shopping. For her second collab with J.Crew, Lulu Frost designer Lisa Salzer created an art deco-inspired collection of bangles, earrings, and necklaces featuring Czech crystals and a bevy of bright colors, ranging from $45 for a thin bangle to $135 for a crystal pendant necklace. Peep our top three picks below:

• We'd like this crystal-embellished thin deco bracelet in every color, please.
• These resin and crystal appliqué earrings would add a striking touch to any outfit.

Our outfits would be nothing without the extra spark of an amazing piece of jewelry, so with Fall around the bend, we're looking out for the latest shapes and coolest colors. Since we've already covered our love for statement cuffs, slick earrings, and standout rings, we're shifting our enthusiasm toward the new breed of necklaces. Fall's new batch hones in on geometric shapes, natural elements — like stones and beads — gilded metals, and high collar silhouettes. A definite departure from last season's super-layered looks, and we like it. Check out our top 15 picks, ranging from a neon-accented leather column necklace from 3.1 Phillip Lim to a '70s-inspired wonder from Missoni, and start shopping.

If you’re looking to add a little panache to your Summer staples, a statement necklace is a quick and dramatic fix. We've seen it elevate the outfits of chicsters like Olivia Palermo and Margherita Missoni, and we loved the necklace effect on the runways for Chanel cruise and Lanvin Fall. Not only will it instantly wake up your work wardrobe, breathe new life into a LBD, and look posh at the pool, it will serve you well into the colder months. Click to shop our favorites.
