A statement necklace is so versatile it can add instant glamour to your fancy cocktail dress, work suit or a $5 T-shirt.

Our favourite statement necklaces

Work-of-art necklaces are like any other piece of art but you can get much more mileage out of them because they’re hanging around your neck, not on a wall somewhere. A necklace like this can transform an outfit. It can spice up a subdued look or add more wow to an already amazing look.

A piece like this can be hard to pull off, so tailor the look to the occasion. If you’re off to work in a corporate office, keep the colours and design more plain and low key, if your office is more of a creative one you can go all out with bow and baubles and feathers (oh my).
