The Sartorialist

I Noticed this too!!!!!

I see that they wear especially the ones that look similar to those of Messai Warriors ( a tribal group in west Africa).

I think its kinda kewl!

I love these!

I believe one massive necklace can perfectly make your outfit and these two girls are really rocking their look with them!

so cool!

Loving the green top! Big necklaces are a good way to make an outfit more interesting instantly

Well the picture was probably taken in Paris… which would make her a young lady in Paris. Not in Hong Kong.

The second one is really fab!!

Been looking everywhere for -affordable- necklaces like these… Such statement pieces can make a simple outfit special, and make a special outfit complete. But I unfortunately can’t find one around here, in Amsterdam. There might be a place that sells them, but with my 14-year old pocketmoney really stunning ones just won’t get in my drawer… Maybe I’ll make one myself :)

I really appreciate the accessories, very African, I’d know since I’m from South Africa. The woman in red looks incredible too.

who knew that Paris could be so full of colour??

Both pieces definitely have the “wow” factor.

Oh I love the second one. Really beautiful–the look with the sunglasses and red pants is just so cool. Or tres chic, I should say.
Best,

Second pic is Hilary Tsui, wife of HK popstar Eason Chan from Hong Kong. She’s a fashion icon in HK!!! Luv her!!

I absolutely adore statement necklaces. That last one is amazing.

Fashionable Collections

I love them both! They complement their outfits without perfectly! I’ve been searching endlessly for a statement necklace that won’t break the bank.

my daily inspiration!

I prefer my jewelry understated mostly..but I had to comment on the red tights/red skirt thing. Wonderful from top to toes!

i love they’re necklaces!!! so nice.

I really like the necklaces. But woo, I have to say that the matching in the last girls outfit is really perfect. Much is more without the feeling much too much! haha

My favorite element is the statement red tights/skirt in the second photo.

I love both necklaces, but the second one’s outfit is great- red tights!

WOW Necklaces!!

absolutely love the statement necklaces! The Parisian women ALWAYS get it right! http://www.casualglamorous.com

she is from hong kong

I love the idea of doing bright color on the same bright color, as this woman did with her skirt and tights. I’ve seen it done on tights and shoes also–which is just as fabulous.

beautiful pics!

little things for great christmas gift!

That intriguingly shod foot at the bottom right corner of the Hilary picture is gamely trying to get a word in. And I’m totally hearing her!

ooh, I wish I could upload a photo here that I took of something I wore recently- a vintage sequined jacket from the 80′s paired with a Maasi style multi-strand beaded necklace…somehow the opulence of both worked together…and I’m a NYer, btw

white t-shirt + statement necklace = easy way to look fashion with zero effort. Perfection!

Screw the necklaces- the sunglasses in the first shot are awesome! In both photos, I noticed the sunglasses before the necklaces.

Parisian girls know it better!!!

Like miniature pieces of armour, aren’t they? Michelle Jank has been making wonderful pieces like the one chosen by your girl with the red tights for ages. Sometimes made with precious metals and stones, other times resin, etc. One particularly memorable neck piece has a clear resin background and a large perfect red heart (if I remember correctly); very beautiful. Also love the feathers on the ‘dream catcher’ version in the accompanying shot. B

totally makes an outfit. loving the red tights with the red skirt too

Spinoff frm the bib necklaces ..
We went from tiny dainty to massive tribal vibe .. Quite an interesting change up!

have a look at the look in rochester, ny!

That red skirt/red tights combo is GORGEOUS!

Also very popular in australia at the moment. :)

Ece Sukan at The Sartorialist once more :)

These ladies look lovely! We love the first look. Great necklaces too!

You will see lots of young ladies sporting statement necklaces in Jakarta Indonesia.

love you ECE SÃœKAN

I remember thinking the same thing when I was in Paris in October (and ran into you with your bke at the Palais Royale!) and immediately started thinking of my jewelry collection and whether I had a necklace quite so massive. I loved the look of one strong, dominant accessory.

Love the red. In fact I love everything about the second picture! The hair, the cropped sweatshirt! The nude colored heels! The hair… everything. I like the necklaces, even though I don’t wear jewelry myself. But the one strong piece is a nice way to go.

carven. maybe not that neclace, but the style of it.

LOVE the big necklace! It totally makes an outfit (although it doesn’t hurt that both of these ladies are gorgeous and have awesome style). Check out my neon rope and vintage rhinestone necklaces on http://www.etsy.com/shop/kikinyc

Absolutely fabulous pieces! Love the second look with its colour-blocking motives! Great shot!

Those necklaces are outrageous but in a good way! I actually have one of those large necklaces and am thinking of bringing them back thanks to these photos.

I’m not really into either of these necklaces or looks, but I like the idea of a large, chunky necklace on a short chain. I think a gold one with geometric shapes would be really pretty.

Shop Vintage & hearts;

anyone know where to find those sunglasses in the first shot????

GORGEOUS NECKLACE!!! the first one is AMAZING!! xx

statement necklace is the next stack-of-bangles!

awesome design of necklace…….. i am really impressed….

I’m just loving red… lovely!

I love a good statement piece
we’re actually featuring some amazing pieces from Chanel “Secrets D’Orients” travelling jewelry collection. Let’s talk about statement pieces

http://www.lilogi.com/maison-chanel/discovery-chanel-joaillerie

You haven’t seen these in New York or Milan? Well, I’ve seen them all over the Midwest! They’re definitely a new favorite phenomenon. As a rural Minnesotan by blood, I can safely say that serious fashion doesn’t always confine itself to global centers of culture.

Come hang out with some Africans in the states most particularly NY, DC, you’ll see massive statement necklaces galore!!!

the first picture is amazing.. the woman is ece sükan from turkey..

I LOVE how sharp the young lady in the red stockings looks!

Such a smart balance between “risky” and casual… I almost want to hang out with her ha ha ;)

Masai tribe is from east Africa not west Africa and they do sport these statement necklaces.

I love the statement necklaces…and these ones are just soo cool :)

Nice! is that the Hong Kong artist chui ho ying on the last pic?

Scott, maybe you need to visit cities other than Florence, Paris, NYC and Milan on a more regular basis. I agree with Cheryl and Bess…..you couldn’t have looked very hard. Statement necklaces have been huge in NYC and Boston for well over 2 years now. I love it, personally, but since it’s been around for so many seasons, I’m almost ready to give it a rest. How is it that you’re just catching on?

Hey I think she is Hilary Tsui from Hong Kong! (Actress turned style icon and wife of popstar Eason Chan)

Come to SEA, plenty of young ladies adorning these massive necklaces like an albatross.

she is a famous stylist in hong kong, his husband,eason chan who is a popular singer!!!
What a bright couple!!

I love her – Hilary Tsui,and her husband is a famous HK singer. They both have great style!

These two are amazing. Totally into the statement necklace right now.

She is Hilary Tsui, a famous pop singer Eason Chan’s wife, a fashion icon in Hong Kong, she is also a fashion blogger, this is her fashion blog. http://www.ligerstore.com/blog/?p=HILARY&s=1
