Summer necklaces - chunky and colourful

Summer necklaces just got chunkier and more colourful at Munique Fashions.   You know what they say, "colour improves your mood" and I can't see these colourful necklaces doing anything less.  When I first saw this summer jewellery collection I instantly thought of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) from Sex and the City whose eclectic and bohemian fashion personality is really suitable to these summer necklaces.

Just today I headed down to the park with the kids for a fun fare wearing this bohemian necklace and at least five ladies asked me "where did you get that?" while others commented that they liked my necklace.  Now that certainly improved my mood as I faced the long sigh inspiring queues for the kids rides.  So there is something to be said for quirky summer jewellery.

So what gives these summer necklaces their quirkiness?  Well they are chunky necklaces but that aside these colourful summer necklaces are made from unique and unusual ceramic beads and stones painted in eye catching patterns and colours. The necklaces are abstractly strung together (eclectic style) on a ribbon that ties around the neck. Similar but different is what you get with these summer jewellery necklaces which are unique and stunning.  

You do not have to be a lover of bohemian jewellery or favor Carrie Bradshaw's dress sense to appreciate these ceramic beaded necklaces. You simply need a unique sense of style and to value your individuality.   Add these necklaces to your summer wardrobe and look fabulous and have fun wearing them to your next summer barbecue, summer wedding or summer evening out. 

Jewellery gifts for her - 4 must have jewellery accessories for your jewellery box

Statement necklace – chunky jewellery is all the rage now and a fabulous piece of timeless chunky jewellery is a jewellery accessory all women should have in their jewellery boxes. It is a matter of taste and style as to what you go for, but statement jewellery is as the name suggests – it makes a statement; and this Clasp Necklace made from black and gold clasps ticks all the boxes. It is bold, beautiful, majestic and eco friendly being made from black and gold hairpins. I cannot see anyone not making a statement when wearing this necklace. People are bound to ask “where did you get that”.


Diamonds - Diamonds are absolutely forever and it is the birthstone for April. But alas they are quite expensive. So if diamonds are outside your budget then go for rock crystal which is used as an alternative to diamond. Rock crystal is a gemstone which has the colourless clarity of water. It has a frosty look like ice and absolutely glitters in the sunlight. Rock crystal and silver is a stunning combination and is lovely in chunky bracelets and chunky necklaces.


Pearls – a girl must have a pearl necklace in her jewellery ensemble. Pearl necklaces are now very affordable since there is huge market of cultured or fresh water pearls. With pearls available in many different colours, sizes and styles, you need not go for the traditional white single strand or double stranded pearl necklace. Pearl choker necklaces are very chic with strapless dresses or tops. If you feel a pearl necklace is too much then go for jewellery embellished with pearls. A previous article on The Pearl Necklace – a must have jewellery accessory offers suggestions on how you can wear the pearl necklace and the different styles available.



Brooch – We have seen Michelle Obama creating a new fashion trend with chunky jewellery namely chunky brooches. Her preference is the floral brooch - the turquoise flower brooch pin by Erickson Beamon being my favorite. Enamel brooches and vintage brooches are very popular. But if you are looking for a unique brooch then leather jewellery and flower jewellery are big fashion trends and so a floral pattern brooch in leather can not only look lifelike but can have you tapping into both these jewellery fashion trends in one jewellery accessory. A leather flower brooch is a perfect jewellery gift for her if you want to be different and stand out from the crowd. Click here for stylish ways to wear the flower jewellery.
