Let’s dive in …
What to wear with statement jewellery
It’s generally a good idea to pair statement jewellery and other dramatic accessories with more simple clothing so that the accessories take centre stage and don’t compete with complex patterns or clothing styles.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress up when wearing statement pieces, but as a rule you should go for more elegantly simple clothing designs.
But: remember that rules are meant to be broken. If you like the look of a heavily patterned or complicated piece of clothing paired with statement jewellery, then you should go with it. We’re all about people dressing like themselves rather than everyone else, so ultimately you should feel confident about what works best for you and the occasion you’re dressing for.

Statement jewellery can be a great way to add some versatility to your wardrobe. As with all sorts of accessories, statement jewellery designs can really change the look of clothing you might love wearing again and again.
Dressing down
Very casual clothing often works a treat with statement jewellery designs. You might choose to pair a statement necklace or a bold cocktail ring with a plain shirt and jeans to dress them up and add an unexpected element.
Dressing up
Of course more dressy or formal outfits will also work very well: an elegantly simple little black dress with a bold and eye-catching necklace with pendant or a dramatic pair of dangle earrings is a very stylish but also very easy look to pull off.
Statement necklaces
If you’re going for a statement necklace, consider the types of neckline you’ll be wearing and the necklace length you’d like to wear with it.
Statement pieces can be worn higher on your neck against your skin, perhaps peeking out from a partly open shirt. Alternatively you can wear longer pendants or necklaces over the top of simple clothing.

You might also consider layering necklaces of different sizes to add a whole lot of interesting detail and sparkle to your look. Wearing statement jewellery doesn’t always have to be about a single focal piece of jewellery.
Statement earrings
Earrings can also work beautifully as statement pieces. If you’re going for earrings as your focal point, you’ll generally not want to wear a necklace and you might choose not to wear any other jewellery.
Alternatively consider more subtle bracelets or rings which will compliment rather than detract from the drama.
Statement rings
Generally cocktail rings work best as statement rings. Go for something bigger and bolder than you’d usually wear. You’d generally not wear any other rings, but you might choose to keep your sentimental rings on one hand and have a cocktail ring on the other.
But also consider wearing an array of contrasting cocktail rings to add loads of unique drama to an outfit. You might just pull it off with the right combination of styles, shapes and colours.
You could also wear a whole lot of different stacking rings, with stacked ring sets on different fingers to add a whole lot of sparkle and interest.
