Statement necklaces - what do you think?

Statement necklaces seem to be "the thing" right now.  I see them everywhere.  JCrew, Banana Republic, Macy's, Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft, all the magazines. . . . Funny thing is, I don't actually see anyone wearing them!  Me personally, I love this trend.  I like to mix up my jewelry.  Some days I might wear a simple sterling silver pendant and my diamond stud earrings.  Another day I might wear big chandalier earrings in flashy colors and a bold bracelet.  But as much as I love these big statement necklaces, I haven't actually purchased or made one for myself yet!  I guess that's partly because I have two little girls that would be very attracted to a large necklace like that and would constantly be tugging on it.  Still, I could always put the necklace on after I dropped them off for the morning.  So I wonder what's holding me back?

How about you - what do you think of this trend?  Is this something you might wear?  Tell me what you think. I'd love to make a few statement necklace for my shop but I wonder if this is really a wearable trend or not.

  1. Hmm I'm not so sure - I'm not really a big jewelry wearer. I do love the second necklace with the beige flowers - stunning!

  4. I love this trend...I think that necklaces can really transform the look of a plain tank or t-shirt into something springy and fabulous!

  7. Hello, SITSta! What a fun blog. I'm not really a necklace person but they're all beautiful and would make great gifts (which is the way I view necklaces). You just never know when you'll catch someone's eye. Go for it. Make a couple. Then, come visit me!

  8. HOnestly I think they look fantastic on other people, but I would look so silly in one. You totally need the attitude to pull them off I think. Happy SITS Sharefest!

    I dig bold jewelry and I like all of these necklaces. The only way it becomes "you" is if you start to wear them =)
    Stopping by from SITS to say hi.

  10. I do like the necklaces. I am someone who very rarely accessorizes, but that is primarily because as a working mom of 3 I often get dressed silently, in the dark and am lucky to have matching shoes! I am thinking though that I might just be able to pull off wearing one "statement" necklace instead of trying to coordinate earrings, bracelet, necklace, etc! hmmm... a thought!
