How to wear the Statement Necklace -Spring 2010

The runways have been presenting the Statement necklace since Spring ‘08, but it is still going strong through 2010 with designers including Chanel, Christian Dior, Marni, Valentino and many more.
Jewelry is big, not just in popularity but in scale with lots of color.

Do:
Mix long strands together
Keep other accessories to a minimum.
Wear it long or short
Wear it in multiples- it’s supposed to be a bit audacious.
mix and match metals, glass, or acrylic and even add in leather, feathers and wood.
Pair with a simple neckline and neutral colored clothes.
DIY
To make your own necklace, simply look for bold beads, pendants and chain.  Make sure that the metals work together, and that the colors are in the same family either by hue or shade.  For example, choose gold or silver, muted tones or brights.  Group your selection together to see how the components harmonize and how much space each piece demands.  To avoid unnecessary bulk, cluster your larger pieces to the front of the necklace and keep the section that will lie on the back of your neck very plain, maybe just simple smaller scale beads or medium chain.
