Turquoise Statement Necklace

The best piece of jewelry you can buy this spring is a turquoise statement necklace.

It is the perfect complement to warm weather's simple pieces and can take any outfit from so-so to super.

Here are some options at a variety of price points:

Under the Sea Necklace
$7.80 at Forever21 To Buy

First of all, don't you just want to own this necklace for the name alone?  The stones are reminiscent of sea glass which is the perfect palette for all warm weather dressing.  The mixture of stone sizes and textures make for an interesting necklace that is part statement and part delicate chain.  The long and layered chain allows this necklace to do double duty whether dressed-up or casual.  And it is $7.80...fantastic!

Depths of the Ocean Necklace
$28 at Francesca's Collection To Buy

Sensing a theme here when it comes to working with turquoise stones?  I think this necklace is the perfect combo of eclectic ladylike and retro beaded chic...with a hint of gold shells from the sea.  Okay.  That is a lot going on for one necklace but I think it works.  Perfect for when you need a chunkier piece that still feels polished but also playful.

Unearthed Necklace
$38 at Anthropologie To Buy

No clever sea-themed name here but I love, love, love this necklace.  My friend gave this to my other friend for her birthday and I have been obsessed with it ever since.  It is the perfect necklace: chunky turquoise, subtle rhinestone accent, smokey stones and polished sage beads.  Elegant, funky and interesting all at the same time.  So classy but still fun enough to party with your casual pieces.


If you have a small budget for your jewels this spring use it towards a turquoise statement necklace.  You will be able to wear it with almost everything from a little black dress to a white t-shirt.  Most important, make your simple outfits stylish by adding one easy piece.
