Whether you love jewelry with gemstones, metallics, beads, or florals, Paparazzi Accessories has a wide variety of adorable, affordable statement necklaces that will match your style and make every look a power move. To help you feel more confident transitioning from subtle to statement jewelry, we’ve put together a collection of our favorite eye-catching necklace styles and some tips for styling them.
WHAT IS STATEMENT JEWELRY?
Statement jewelry is any accessory that adds dizzying drama or amplified accents to your look. Whether it’s a necklace, bracelet, ring, or earrings, a statement piece will command the spotlight and turn an everyday look into an elevated ensemble.
Many of the darling pieces in Paparazzi’s inventory—especially in the Zi and Blockbuster Collections—are statement-making accessories that add a splash of style to every outfit. Statement accessories bring the dazzle to your looks with details like oversized pendants, intricate charms, bold beads, faceted stones, and chunky chains.
Let’s take a look at some Paparazzi necklace designs that turn the fashion volume all the way up and encourage onlookers to ask: “Where did you get that stunning jewelry?”
Oversized Pendant Necklaces
Large statement pendants pack a punch of style, whether they’re part of draping, long necklace designs, or dangling from mid-length chains with dainty or chunky links. Some oversized pendant designs you might find in the Paparazzi Shop include sculptural metallics, faceted gems, polished stones, and playful motifs like flowers or hearts.
If you’re dressing up for a casual outing, reach for a pendant necklace that rests near the center of your chest or sways daringly at your waistline. With playful movement and boho-chic energy, long pendant necklaces are sure to liven up any look! For a more polished statement, layer your outfit with a shorter pendant necklace that draws attention to your neckline.

Exaggerated Charm Necklaces
Charms aren’t just for delicate jewelry pieces—they can also be the focal point of eye-catching designs that make your outfits glamorously grand. Statement charm necklaces can be a chic choker or extra long with lots of layering potential.
In statement pieces, classic charms, like polished or faceted stones and high-sheen or antiqued metal motifs, have exaggerated silhouettes. This creates swirling movement and a tinkling ambiance that will capture the attention of everyone you pass by.
Large pearlescent charms are perfect for a posh or professional look. Eclectic necklace styles may incorporate clusters of filigreed or gemstone charms at the end of an elongated chain for a touch of free-spirited flair. If you want a more whimsical or romantic style, look for fiercely feminine charm designs like:
- Hearts
- Locks
- Keys
- Bows
- Flowers
- Butterflies

Bold Beaded Necklaces
The versatility of beads makes them the perfect addition to many bold necklace designs. Statement-making beads come in a variety of stunning shapes, sizes, cuts, finishes, and materials. Think glossy glass beads, oversized round pearls, abstract natural stones, shining metal accents, and rhinestone-encrusted shapes.
To make bold beaded jewelry the centerpiece of your look, reach for clothing in soft neutrals and subtle patterns. A minimalist outfit creates a clean canvas where your statement necklace can shine bright.
If you prefer maximalist styles, play up the drama of the beads with loud prints, playful patterns, and fun textures for a high-impact look.

- Curb
- Paperclip
- Snake
- Cable
