What Makes a Necklace a "Statement" Piece?

A statement necklace is more than just an accessory—it’s a conversation starter. Here’s what sets these pieces apart:

Bold Size: Unlike delicate necklaces, statement pieces feature oversized pendants, wide collars, or chunky chains.

Unique Materials: Think of textured metals, vibrant gemstones, or unconventional shapes.

Artistic Details: Handcrafted elements like intricate metalwork or layered designs.

For example, our Amelie Diamond Floral Fan Necklace combines intricate detailing with a bold design, making it a standout piece.
