To me, an interesting piece of jewelry does wonders in differentiating a woman from the crowd. Over the last few years, my interest in accessorizing has been increasing and along with it, so has the size of my collection and the size of each individual piece of jewelry that I own as well. In the past, necklaces were used to make my neck look less bare and earrings worn to keep my piercings open. Fast forward to now– I feel like accessories make or break an entire outfit!

For a student like me, what is great about statement jewelry is that it does not have to be pricey. There are great pieces at lower price points that can look just as expensive as the higher ones, which possess just as much character. The most I have ever spent on a piece of statement jewelry is around $60 and could not be more pleased with how I instantly feel more put together.

My current favourites to wear are big necklaces and oversized cocktail rings (okay, and earrings too, with the occasional bracelet or cuff)– here are a few picks:

Sun Shaped Ring with Opaque Green Stones – ASOS – ~$20
A massive take on the cocktail ring– this one covers the whole finger you wear it on plus over half of each finger surrounding it.


Orchid Dual Band Ring – BCBGMAXAZRIA – $28
This gorgeous ring is such a steal! I’ve completely fallen for it but I haven’t been able to find it in Canada– only on the U.S. website which doesn’t ship internationally! :(


Rimma Cluster Ring – Soo Ihn Kim – $135
A more delicate and dainty but still distinguished piece. Reminds me a bit of YSL but the band is so unique!


Green Bibbed Stones Necklace – Harriet Grey – $42
As seen here. Super affordable but I cannot count the amount of times that someone has said that it looks so much more expensive than it is!


Plate Chain Necklace – tuleste market – $250
Such an interesting casual piece to spice up even the plainest of outfits.


FENTON/FALLON for J.Crew Carrington Crystal Bow Necklace – J.CREW – $295
An ultimate statement necklace. Feminine, beautiful and unabashedly audacious all at once. Check out the website for a photo of it on a neck… this one doesn’t do it justice.

Do you like statement jewelry? What are your favourites? How bold is too bold?

My amazingly sweet boyfriend has spoiled me silly (and caused me to gain several pounds along the way) by bringing me to eat my favourite dessert of sticky toffee pudding 3 times this week and taking me out to dinner for “last meals”… because tomorrow I’m getting 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted! Not going to lie– I am pretty darn scared (might be an understatement). Will be out of commission for several days afterward… but looking forward to recovering and being wisdom teeth free. Any (good) experiences to share?

  4. WOW – this stuff is amazing. I am partial to the rings I think. The Rimma Cluster Ring is getting printed out and accidentally life on my husband’s desk. I mean, we do have an anniversay coming up and all … hahaha

  5. I love really big, tacky cocktail rings. They always add a lot of punch to an outfit (especially for daytime).

  6. Ooh good luck on the wisdom teeth! I didn’t have such a bad time of it at all, but I know some people do, so I guess keep some soft ice cream ready? hehe

    I find it hard to find cocktail rings that fit – how do you find yours? so I usually stick to statement necklaces and bangles instead. The Shopbop and J.Crew ones are gorgeous!

  7. You do have a thing for statement jewelries. I covet all your statement necklaces <3<3

    I can’t help you with the wisdom tooth problem since I have none:( Good luck though :):)

  10. Hi Jen! Thanks for the sweet comment and my page and for including me in your previous blog posts.

    I love the jewelry you’ve selected on this post.

    Have a wonderful day!

  11. I absolutely LOVE statement jewelry!
    And good luck with your wisdom teeth! I can remember nothing “good” about them except I did enjoy the constant milkshakes. And you’ll lose some weight because you literally do not feel hunger at all the first few days. You really only feel tired! It’s a nice excuse to completely veg out.

  12. wow!! those pieces are amazing i love jewelry i just tend to lose it all the time.
    great selection i love broches too more people should wear them1 ( think vintage tiffanys)
