Spring 2012 Trends: The jeweled collar

Made for dressing up or down, the jeweled collar necklace has been spotted on the Spring and Fall 2012 runways of Zac Posen, DSquared2 and Lanvin. The versatile piece of clear or colored stones lies on the collarbone and can be layered for the most dramatic effect. Don’t be afraid to style it over a tailored collared shirt to give interest or even simply over a plain white tee. The jeweled collar necklace will instantly elevate any ensemble.

A little neon, a little shine, Noir Jewelry’s neon crystal necklace is glam with a twist. The piece features a neon rope necklace and cubic zirconia crystals at the bib. Combine the statement piece with a grey cozy tee and oversized sunnies for a relaxed summer outfit.

Kelly Wearstler’s rose quartz triangle necklace promises an industrial aesthetic. The oversized rose quartz pendant is contrasted with a gunmetal-plated chain. Rock the oversized piece with a monochromatic black ensemble for bold vibe.

Edgy and modern, Made Her Think’s triple pendulum spikes necklace will be the center of your outfit. The brass necklace boasts a tubular snake chain and three faceted spike pendants. Style with round neck tees or sweaters for a high-low look or add to a gown for an edgy evening outfit.

The luxiest of them all, Venessa Arizaga’s Hollywood necklace drips crystals – literally. The bib is composed of a metallic crochet and shines with clear stones. Let the collar style shine by complementing with a strapless dress or top.
