What Your Necklace Says About You: A Style Guide

The necklace you reach for every day says something about your style. A dainty pendant, a choker, a bold statement piece, a layered stack and a string of pearls each send a different signal. Here is what your necklace says about you.

Pendant Necklaces

Pendant necklaces come in many shapes, sizes and designs, so there is one for almost anyone. A simple pendant necklace can be used to express your style and interests. If you wear a delicate or dainty pendant necklace, it reflects that you have an understated sense of style. A large pendant suggests a bolder personality. Any pendant also draws the eye to your neckline.

Choker Necklaces

Chokers have been worn for centuries and are popular again now. A choker that sits tightly around your neck shows that you have a strong and confident personality. If the choker is simple, it means you embrace minimalism. If it has embellishments, it suggests you enjoy attention and glamour. Chokers work with a dressy outfit or a casual one.

Statement Necklaces

Statement necklaces are designed to stand out by being bold and colorful. They suit days when you want to draw attention. Wearing a statement necklace suggests that you are a confident and daring person who loves to experiment with fashion. One statement necklace is enough to dress up a simple outfit.

Layered Necklaces

Layered necklaces add depth to an outfit. Wearing several necklaces suggests that you are creative and have an eye for fashion. Mixing different necklaces in one stack can also give a bohemian or eclectic look.

Pearl Necklaces

Pearls have stood for elegance for centuries. A classic string of pearls reads as polished and graceful. Wearing a pearl necklace suggests that you are elegant, poised, and a lover of tradition. The larger the pearl, the bolder the statement. A pearl necklace pairs well with a formal gown for a special occasion.


If you wear more than one of these types, that says something too: a pendant layered over a short chain shows both a quiet side and a bolder one. Check out our collection to find the necklace that fits yours.
