Breaking news: the chunky gold necklace is back. This jewelry staple was one of the biggest trends in the early 2010s with the oversized silhouette making a comeback. As minimalism gives way to maximalism, experimenting with chunky gold jewelry will help transition your closet and add an elevated touch to casual outfits.

Now is the perfect time to pick up a chunky gold necklace and start planning your holiday party outfits. It’s the hero piece you can style with a little black dress or a basic white t-shirt and jeans.

I’m sharing three of my go-to ways to style a chunky gold necklace to show you how easy it is to incorporate into your jewelry rotation. Chunky gold jewelry is more versatile than you think and not just for special occasions.

Turn Heads with Our Naya Necklace

 If you’re new to chunky gold jewelry, start with a necklace you can wear with any outfit. Our ‘Naya’ necklace is all you need – with your favorite pair of heels – to turn heads. The trendy oversized links make the necklace an ultimate solo piece or perfect for those who love to layer necklaces.

Channel your inner rock goddess by styling classic denim jeans with a white tank top and this chunky gold necklace. Take your outfit to the next level with chunky gold earrings to complete your look.

A Pearl Twist to a Chunky Gold Necklace

A plain chunky gold necklace might feel too utilitarian if you prefer more feminine jewelry. Our ‘Pearl Obsession necklace gives you the best of both worlds, creating a cool contrast between the classic Baroque pearl and the trendy chunky chain. It’s one of our best-selling chunky gold jewelry staples, perfect for the bohemian at heart. This chunky gold necklace will add a boho edge to your look, whether you’re hitting the beach or grabbing a coffee.

Signature Chunky Gold Jewelry

Jewelry is the accessory that feels the most intimate. I have chunky gold jewelry that I wear every day as signature pieces. They’re the necklaces and rings I reach for without thinking twice. This chunky gold jewelry goes with every outfit. The ‘Drama’ necklace is part of this rotation and one of my most worn chunky gold necklaces.

The paperclip silhouette makes it a softer alternative to the ‘Naya’ necklace and easy to layer with your favorite pendant or other gold necklaces. Make the Drama’ necklace part of your workwear rotation by layering it with a classy pearl necklace and an oversized white shirt.
