The art of accessorising is subtle. Whether it’s a minimal choker or a radiant ruby-encrusted necklace, there’s a lot of thought that goes behind it, though it may seem otherwise. If it’s a magnificent statement neckpiece you’re pulling off like Pooja Hegde, you need to ensure it blends in with your ensemble. Or if you find yourself mostly wearing a pair of jeans and a casual top, a stylish necklace with floral details like Soha Ali Khan’s is what you should be eyeing. These celebrity-approved statement necklaces will take you from dinner dates to wedding ceremonies, proving that all you need is that one major accessory that’ll round off your ensemble with elegance.
Take inspiration from Bollywood’s leading ladies like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty and more who are flaunting their statement necklaces.
