statement necklace

Attention-grabbing neck adornment

A statement necklace is a large, bold, eye-catching piece of jewelry designed to be the focal point of an outfit.

Typically featuring oversized elements, bright colors, or elaborate designs, it transforms simple clothing into something more dramatic: She paired a plain black dress with a chunky statement necklace.

The term emerged in fashion writing in the early 2000s.
