Choosing flattering jewelry can be a challenge. Before starting your search for a great statement necklace or two, take into consideration your skin tone, height, frame, hairstyle and lifestyle. For example, women with cool skin tones often look best wearing silver rather than gold. A choker-length necklace may look elegant on a long, thin neck, but may not be attractive for someone less gazelle-like.

Statement necklaces with lots of color or flair (bows, baubles, feathers, you name it) are fun, but not as wearable or versatile as plainer styles. Keep in mind where you will wear a statement necklace. A large, bold, chunky necklace looks great with a suit for work, if it is not too whimsical. If you have a more creative job (hairdresser, for example), you could get away with edgier designs.

Tips & Warnings
Many statement necklaces incorporate ribbons into their design. Take note that these styles are not very washable. Also, tying a ribbon at the back of your neck is not particularly easy.
