Make A Statement About YOU
I recently completed a Style Challenge set by one of my Trainers Imogen Lamport from the Academy of Professional Image – one of the challenges was to wear a statement necklace as seen here Style Challenge No. 1 (this necklace was bought for me by my daughter Molly) . Wearing a statement piece of jewellery is a simple way to say something about yourself especially if that piece of jewellery has special meaning to you.
Through one of the networking Groups that I absolutely love going to The Y Network I met the talented Kylie Verner who has a business called KCrystals. Kylie designs pieces of jewellery specifically for each of her clients. There is a consultation process and the gemstones and crystals in the necklaces have a specific meaning. Kylie makes the jewellery with love and care and is very conscious of each of her client’s personalities. Keep an eye out for more about Kylie’s Kcyrstals special jewellery … There is a point of difference that I think is very unique and am working on something to show you how special it is…. You can see my reaction when Kylie presents me with the necklace here … a happy client.
Now a bit about Statement Necklaces …
- Statement necklaces are most effective if made the focal point of the whole outfit
- Wearing a complementary colour to the necklace can really make the necklace “pop” – for example a turquoise necklace can look amazing with a purple top or dress
- Take into account what your “Style personality” is – for example if you have a Dramatic Style Personality a delicate necklace just isnt going to feel right. However if you have a Feminine/Romantic Style Personality a statement necklace can speak volumes about your own individual personality if it is not cluttered with too much other jewellery even if it is delicate-looking and in soft pretty colours. A statement necklace should reflect you and your personality
- The more simple the outfit the more “out there” your statement necklace can be. Complex prints and patterns worn with a detailed necklace will not do justice to either the outfit or the necklace.
- Most statement necklaces are designed to be large and if you have a statement necklace specifically designed for you the designer will take into account your frame and the length that will suit the individual client’s decolletage and face. Kylie designed my statement necklace with an adjustable length and it turned out that the shorter length worked better for low cut tops and the longer length for higher necklines. This is because the pendant adds length and needs to be taken into account for the overall effect depending on what top or dress is being worn. It was great that Kylie suggested this as sometimes you cant tell until you try the necklace on with different outfits.
Hope these few points help – Statement necklaces as with any piece of statement jewellery should be something special as they are making a statement or expression of YOU.
