If you looked in the mirror and said “statement necklace” three times quickly, a vision of a turquoise J.Crew bauble you bought in 2012 would float before your eyes. Most of us suffered some sort of statement necklace trauma in our 20s and 30s, and that’s why the 2020s have swapped out the chunky, collar-like necklaces for layers of daintier necklaces—until now. A “statement necklace” is back, but this time in the form of a charm necklace.
Unless you’ve been on social media in the last year, you’ve probably seen a charm necklace (or 1,000) hanging around the necks of fashion girls across the internet. Most of us have had a beloved charm bracelet at some point, but a charm necklace gives custom-made jewelry a new twist and impresses with its individuality.
A charm necklace can serve as a statement piece in its own right; Paired with a t-shirt and jeans, it has a way of stealing the show that a more minimalist piece couldn’t dream of. The best part? Your necklace can be personalized as you wish. You can stick with a theme (e.g. a nautical vibe full of seashells and anchors) or fill your theme with pendants that have unique meaning to you and excite you.
If you only add one accessory to your collection this year, it would be a charm necklace. From pre-made options to fully customizable options, these are the best charm necklaces you can buy right now.
