statement pieces are making a major comeback in 2025. more than mere accessories, these pieces are the reflection of your personality and can elevate any outfit. they become the focal point of your look, drawing attention the moment you walk into a room, making them the perfect choice for those who want to stand out with sophistication. however, it can be tricky to wear them without going overboard.
if you're looking to embrace this trend, but aren't sure where to start, you're in the right place. here are some tips to help you style statement jewelry with confidence.
choose your focal point
first, when it comes to styling statement jewelry, remember that less is more. wearing too many bold pieces at once can create an overwhelming and confusing look. so, the key is to pick one standout piece and let it be the focal point of your look, and let the rest enhance your style without overwhelming it.
a great example is andreea ali, who made cinco’s pam earrings the focal point of her look, opting for more understated rings to complement them.
neutral clothes
one easy way to make sure your bold jewelry stands out without overwhelming your outfit is to pair it with simple, neutral clothing. when your clothes are minimalistic, your statement pieces truly pop. on the other hand, when your outfit is filled with patterns or embellishments, your jewelry can get lost in the mix or even clash with the overall look instead of enhancing it.

balance proportions
when it comes to bold jewelry, balance is everything. your face shape hairstyle, and outfit proportions all play a role in creating a harmonious look. for example, if you’re wearing a statement necklace, keep your earrings minimal to avoid visual overload. likewise, bold earrings pair best with a delicate necklace or none at all, for a more refined balance.
hairstyle also makes a difference: statement earrings shine with sleek updos or pulled-back styles. if you prefer wearing your hair down, make sure it’s long enough to let the earrings peek through, especially if they’re meant to be the focal point.

to elevate the look further, you can also add a bracelet like the hannah diamond bracelet, a simple yet elegant piece that balances the boldness of the earrings perfectly without overwhelming the overall look.
have fun
the most important thing is to have fun and feel good about the way you look. after all, jewelry is a form of self-expression, so choose pieces that resonate with you and reflect your personality. fashion is all about creativity and enjoying the process, so wear what makes you happy and embrace your style with confidence.
