If you looked in the mirror and said “statement necklace” three times fast, a vision of a turquoise J.Crew bauble purchased in 2012 would float in front of your eyes. Most of us have in our 20s and 30s have some sort of statement necklace trauma, and therefore, the 2020s swapped the massive, collar-like necklaces in exchange for layers of daintier ones—until now. A “statement necklace” is back, but this time, in the form of a charm necklace.
Unless you haven’t been on social media in the past year, you’ve probably seen a charm necklace (or 1,000) hanging around the necks of the internet’s fashion girls. Most of us had a beloved charm bracelet at one point or another, but a charm necklace gives a fresh spin on bespoke jewelry that gets major points for individuality.
A charm necklace can serve as a statement piece in its own right; paired with even 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 as personalized as you choose. You can stick to a theme (like a nautical vibe full of shells and anchors), or fill yours with charms that have a unique meaning to you and what makes you tick.
If you only add one accessory to your collection this year, let it be a charm necklace. From pre-curated options to completely customizable ones, these are the best charm necklaces to shop now.
