Make an impact without saying a word by donning a big bib necklace or a slim choker
The annual list of 12 Jewelry Trends for 2016 serves as a guideline for store purchases in the new year, highlighting pieces and materials trending now, based on the clothing, color, red carpet, and real-life influences at work in the market. Chokers and statement necklaces are the third trend on the list. Here are eight new pairs for retailers to consider stocking.
Chokers and other statement necklaces. These are a holdover from 2015, thanks to their appearance at the Oscars last February and in an abundance of spring 2016 styles—think knits, lingerie, and lightweight denim—that demand a statement piece around the collar.
