'Statement necklaces' - are they back?

I mean the chunky, flashy ones? As opposed to the multiple fine chains around for the last few years?

Interesting! I wasn’t aware they were, but I like the idea. I like necklaces from One Button. They have their own website and are sold in John Lewis. There are also several usually available on Ebay for good prices. Here’s one of mine.

Chunky gold necklaces yes. Anything else chunky, I don’t think so.

@AnnieSnap I LOVE that necklace. I used to have one similar, which I was given as a teen by a well meaning and generous family member, but I got rid of it coz it wasn't cool for teens... now I wish I'd kept it! I'd totally wear it these days of I still had it.

@PesosBandage there are lots on Ebay, only one listed by John Lewis at the moment!

This reminds me of a great comedy sketch about statement jewellery:

Back? Were they ever cool?
They’re awful. They remind me of Theresa May.

I love them!

SickAndTiredAgain · 18/10/2021 21:12

Bella Hadid certainly thinks so.

DameMaureen · 18/10/2021 21:14

They remind me of the time when Per Una sold tops with necklaces 😬

Zarene · 18/10/2021 21:14

I’m SO sorry but I think of my drama teacher auntie in the early 90s.

I do want to like them, though.

FindingMeno · 18/10/2021 21:15

I think so, but chunky 'metal' as opposed to beads or glitz.

Pigtailsandall · 18/10/2021 21:19

I hope so! I still have a few which I love!

Zarene · 18/10/2021 21:49

@ShangPie I love that sketch! I’ve never heard of Baroness Vin Sketch before but I’ve just spent half an hour watching them. Thank you!

Theresa May favoured the weird dog chain necklaces 😮

This site has loads of chunky necklaces, most are sold out . I discovered them in a fashion game game

I'd love this but it's over my budget. Wondering if it's the Prue Leith effect.
