Rock a Nameplate Necklace Like Beyoncé

Lisa Horten — Mon, 07 May 2012 06:46:36 PDT

Since giving birth to Blue Ivy, Beyoncé's been spotted with blue nails, a blue dress, and now, a nameplate necklace paying tribute to her baby girl. Since not every child's name can be translated into a nail polish shade, we can see new moms embracing the necklace trend pretty readily. In fact, in the first public photo of Robert Downey, Jr.'s baby boy, Exton Elias, mom Susan was spotted with a nameplate necklace of her own. Here are eight ways to incorporate the trend into your own everyday style, so that your baby will always be by your heart.

Marisa Tom — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:12:48 PST

Sometimes all you need is one showstopping strand of bling to make a serious siren statement - and last night's Oscar A-list set offered up multiple ways to execute it with minimal fanfare. Three words: single-strand necklaces. Michelle Williams chose a sweet diamond necklace to accent her coral Louis Vuitton gown on the red carpet, while Olivia Wilde opted for a bold collar to offset her slinky Gucci number at the Vanity Fair party. Zoe Saldana gave the illusion of a floating diamond collar with her strategically embellished Marios Schwab frock, Penelope Cruz added a stunning strand to highlight the princess quality of her Armani confection, and Natalie Portman chose a gorgeous diamond V-shaped choker to accompany her vintage Christian Dior look. It's a simple accessory trick with infinite glitz potential. To achieve a similar decked-out décolletage, shop our Oscar-worthy single-strand picks at all price points below.
