I’ve always been fascinated by how the French wear statement jewelry. It’s that unique, sexy Parisian style (like Sylvie, Emily in Paris’s boss) that, instead of being vulgar, looks sophisticated and chic. How do you know when too much is too much? Where do you stop? At the sexy cleavage? Wearing lots of earrings? Heavy statement bracelets? Just one bracelet, or two? It’s so complicated. Often, statement jewelry becomes something we love to see on others but lack the courage to wear ourselves. On a mission towards romantic, beautiful, authentic feminine looks, and as the founder of CALESSIA Jewelry French Riviera, I am here to guide you.

Small Tips and Tricks from the ‘Queen’ of Statement Jewelry
My friends always laugh and call me ‘the queen.’ It’s really just a few shiny accessories well-matched. Here it is: statement jewelry can transform any outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you’re dressing up for a special event or adding a touch of glamour to your everyday look, here are some tips on how to style statement jewelry for any occasion.
1. The Little Black Dress always goes well with Statement Jewelry
Don’t forget about the little black dress. That simple, stunning, all-black dress that you wear to the office and then for a drink afterward. Keep a stunning necklace in your bag. Add some gloss and lipstick, and that fancy necklace, and voilà. A shiny, elegant look that you can achieve during your Uber ride. Here’s what I’d keep close to me: S925 Moissanite Tennis Chain Necklace.
2. Pairing with Casual Outfits for a Sophisticated Look
For a casual look, pair a statement necklace with a simple T-shirt and jeans. This adds a touch of sophistication without being overwhelming. Opt for bold, colorful pieces to brighten up your casual ensemble. The classical Instagrammable look, very city-like. Fresh hair, light look, comfortable jeans, white T-shirt. And bim! You just elevated the look with a magnificent ring stack or a bold necklace. Or both 🙂 Ring suggestions.
3. Elevating Office Attire with a bit of a Sparkle
Add a touch of elegance to your workwear with statement earrings or a chic bracelet. Keep the rest of your accessories minimal to maintain a professional appearance. A statement brooch can also add a unique flair to your blazer. My favorite ‘go-to’ is our delightful 18K Gold Solitary Pearl Necklace. I probably should dedicate a full article to this one necklace; I’ve been wearing it for weeks now.
4. Glamorous Evening Events, the Perfect Statement Jewelry Wear
For formal occasions, go all out with dramatic pieces. A statement necklace with a strapless dress creates a stunning neckline, while chandelier earrings can complement an elegant updo. Balance your look by keeping other accessories subtle. Imagine a night at Nobu in New York or Monaco. Finally, it’s time for those fancy earrings. Here’s a bold suggestion: Statement Earrings.
5. Layering for a Boho Chic Look
Mix and match different statement pieces for a bohemian vibe. Layer multiple necklaces of varying lengths or stack bold rings and bracelets. This eclectic style works well for festivals, beach outings, or casual get-togethers. This is something you’d like to wear at the iconic Nikki Beach or a romantic dinner. Check out the Birthstone October Opal Collection for beautiful, minimalist, and elegant pieces with a statement twist.
6. Seasonal Trends for Beautiful Statement Jewelry Wear
Incorporate seasonal colors and themes into your statement jewelry choices. For example, opt for floral designs in spring, vibrant hues in summer, earthy tones in fall, and sparkling pieces for the winter holidays. The main pieces that are always a hit? Our floral set – you can never go wrong with a statement jewelry item that has a nature, flower symbol: The Flower Sparkling Jewelry Set.
7. Balancing Act, of course.
When wearing statement jewelry, balance is key. Avoid overloading with multiple bold pieces at once. If you’re wearing a statement necklace, skip the large earrings, and vice versa.
Conclusion
Statement jewelry is a versatile and powerful accessory that can enhance any look. My main point here is that you don’t have to be afraid of it. By understanding how to style these bold pieces, you can effortlessly elevate your outfits for any occasion. Embrace your creativity and let your jewelry make a STATEMENT.
