What Is Statement Jewelry?

There are several different ways to “make a statement”.

You can share your strong thoughts on a particular topic with someone.

You can take a stand for or against something you feel passionate about.

You could write down your beliefs in a book or a poem or an essay.

These are all ways of making a statement. However, in everyday life, when people use this expression, they are referring to someone’s style. The way they reflect their personality through how they present themselves, and even in the clothes they wear. Fashion sense does say a lot about who you are. Hence… “making a statement”.

One of the simplest but most fun ways to make a statement is with a distinctive piece of jewelry. Statement jewelry is all about making a bold impact. These pieces are designed to grab attention, showcasing the wearer’s unique personality and flair. Whether it’s a striking necklace, a pair of standout earrings, or an oversized ring, statement jewelry speaks volumes. It’s more than just an accessory—it’s a form of self-expression, a way to infuse any outfit with energy and emotion. With a wide array of colors, shapes, and materials, these pieces aren’t just for adornment; they’re a declaration of style.

A piece of statement jewelry could be the finishing touch to a perfect outfit, but it doesn’t always have to be. If it’s strong enough, it could stand completely on its own, drawing more attention to its design. Here are a few types of statement jewelry available from The Bradford Exchange – each one featuring an original design you won’t find anywhere else.

4 Types of Statement Jewelry

Statement Necklaces

Statement necklaces are bold, eye-catching jewelry pieces designed to stand out. They feature oversized designs and vibrant colors and serve as focal points for outfits. Crafted from various materials, these necklaces elevate casual and formal attire, allowing wearers to confidently express their individuality and unique style.

When shopping for statement necklaces, consider choosing a big, bold, or colorful pendant. Maybe one that features a faceted stone or multidimensional design that will pick up and reflect light. While this is not necessarily a prerequisite, a necklace holds the privilege of having the most prominent jewelry position, so it’s often noticed first.

Statement Earrings

Statement earrings are bold, distinctive accessories that draw attention and enhance any outfit. Often oversized and intricately designed, they come in various materials and styles, from colorful gemstones to metalwork. These earrings serve as a powerful expression of personal style, adding flair and personality to both casual and formal looks.

There is more versatility when it comes to selecting statement earrings. They don’t have to be as bold as a statement necklace because they come in twos. But paring down their intensity doesn’t mean they shouldn’t draw attention. Consider more unique materials, colors, and shapes that will create symmetry for the face but still stand out.

Statement Rings

Statement rings are striking, oversized jewelry that command attention and showcase individuality. Often featuring unique designs, bold colors, or intricate details, they serve as focal points in any ensemble. These rings allow wearers to express their personality, making a powerful impact in casual and formal settings.

A true statement ring will have no competition with other jewelry. It should be the only ring on your hand, naturally highlighted by its presence. Statement rings are singular in that they usually feature one prominent stone or have a very intricate or unusual design.

Statement Bracelets

Statement bracelets are bold, eye-catching accessories designed to stand out and enhance any outfit. They can be made from various materials and are characterized by their unique designs, vibrant colors, and substantial sizes. They add a touch of personality and flair, making them perfect for both casual and formal occasions.

Because bracelets can be fairly ubiquitous, several designs truly stand out from the rest, making them true statement bracelets. Among these designs are tennis bracelets, bangle bracelets, cuff bracelets, and even charm bracelets, all of which take a very simple jewelry form and make it stand out with unique style twists and flair.

What to Consider When Shopping for Statement Jewelry?

The most important thing to consider when shopping for statement jewelry is you. Your taste. Your style. Your fashion sense. When shopping, what designs feel like a good match for you? Can you imagine yourself in that dramatic necklace or ring going out for a night on the town? Your personality will usually guide you toward the statement jewelry that feels right. Of course, it’s also fine to step outside your typical style and surprise people occasionally with something completely uncharacteristic. That’s the freedom of fashion, and it can be lots of fun.
