If chokers and collar necklaces are currently stealing the spotlight in your jewellery box, you may want to consider accessorizing with a dangling pendant chain. For Spring/Summer 2017, these long necklaces are quickly replacing the choker as the must-have neckpiece of the season.

For those who are wondering how to wear this necklace for a casual look, try drawing your cues from the catwalks at Chloé. Pair a dark-coloured and solid ensemble with a long gold chain, accented with navy leather. The metallic tones of the chain will allow the piece to truly shine, while the dark blue colour keeps your bling looking understated.

Meanwhile, the Prada runway revealed a chunky, elaborate take on the trend. Oversized looped rings gleamed in shades of pink, red and brown, while a tortoiseshell-coloured pendant completed the look. Whether you want to channel rebellious vibes or take your inspiration from the world of hip hop, the big and bold pendant is here to stay.

At Givenchy, light coral and beige tones were accessorized with an eye-catching agate pendant. The milky lavender tones in the agate caught the light, for a high drama approach to accessorizing. For a night out, gemstone pendants can certainly seize the attention, and direct the focus your way.
