Statement necklace needed

[rockybalboa]

I'm stuck in a bit of a post-baby clothes rut which means I predominantly live in skinny jeggings, ankle boots and a long vest top with something like a Boden Breton over the top. I feel a bit mumsy but as I'm losing weight post-baby well, post all 3 babies, the eldest of whom is 5 - ... I don't want to buy any new clothes yet. So I thought a statement necklace might be the way forward. I did have a fab one from Primark which cost me £3 and was like a thick hollow chain with rings of pearls, diamante and plain metal round. Obv all made of cheapo metal and plastic and it only lasted one wear but because it was silvery coloured metal and 'pearl' it was nice and neutral, went with lots of things and made even the most dull everyday outfit look a bit more hip. Can't find anything else like it (should have bought loads of them!) and am considering these options. Part of me feels that I should get a statement necklace which makes A Statement and is therefore a lovely bright yellow, bright pink or bright green but then it obv wouldn't go with as much so thinking neutral might be better although more boring I admit. Any views on these please? Pls bear in mind that the baby will undoubtedly try and chew whatever I buy...

I've bought several from H&M. Cheap and cheerful as I don't wear often. Check their accessories page. I have also got a couple from School Gate Style (blog) shop which has a gorgeous pink and blue stone one schoolgatestyle.tictail.com/

Btw the knitted one is awful IMO sorry

I can't pull off statement jewellery at all but was in Oliver Bonas today and was almost tempted by some gorgeous statement necklaces in there www.oliverbonas.com/m/jewellery/collections_2 (scroll down a bit)

Might be worth a look?

I just bought this today it's lovely and looks to be well made monsoon

Also, someone else on here suggested red box which has very reasonably priced statement necklaces. Have ordered a couple but they haven't arrived yet so can't comment on the quality.

Stella & Dot stuff comes up on eBay a lot, or try & Other Stories.

I got a lovely neutral coloured one in oasis (called the Lucy necklace; on phone so can't link) last week. I also saw some nice chunky ones in Zara but they were all brightly coloured; like you I wanted a neutral one to go with everything!

Someone on another thread linked to this Etsy seller who has some nice looking items that are reasonably priced here

Step away from the knitted one, OP

[Missred]

Ooh love those etsy ones! Have a look on ebay as well OP, saw some v nice j crew necklaces on there recently

[rockybalboa]

Point taken about the knitted one people! The more I look at all the lovely suggestions, the more I prefer the brightly coloured ones. I'm liking the Etsy ones from Hong Kong as at those prices am tempted by a yellow one (I have a real thing for accessorising with yellow, looks great with lots of colours) and either a green or a blue. Thanks!

OP, love the silver one so much, I've just ordered it! Thanks for the tip.

If you do ignore everyone and go for the knitted one, they're a couple of quid on ebay !

[MrsPeacockDidIt]

I've just bought a couple from school gate style which are really nice.

I also bought the chain link one Ronald has linked to from H&M but it irritated my skin within half an hour.

I love the silver one you've linked to and may have to make a little purchase as it's pay day today.

OP have you not tried Zara? They do the cheapest yet gorgeous necklaces. I always buy a statement necklace each time I go.

I would also suggest Zara, Mango and J Crew. Make sure you don't buy a Chinese knock off of these - they are floating about on eBay and they don't look as good in real life (they are garish v's vibrant)
