Extreme Necklaces?

Rihanna & Karl Lagerfeld

Kelly Wearstler

Lady GaGa

Lake Bell

Maggie Gyllenhaal

The bigger — and odder — the better. That’s clearly the motto du jour among a certain set when it comes to accessorizing their necklines. Not content to merely decorate their décolletage with a simple sprinkling of diamonds, these celebs and socials have been breaking out all manner of necklaces from torso-length feathery confections to barbed wire-inspired statement makers.

Never one to shy away from a bijou or two, Daphne Guinness went tribal at the NARS 15x15 launch fete in New York, while Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kelly Wearstler opted for less glitzy, but no less subtle, takes on the look with fringed fabric bibs. Lake Bell gave her LBT a punk flare with a silver spiked piece at a New York screening of her latest flick, “It’s Complicated.” Incessantly papped songstress Rihanna gave photographers plenty to shoot when she donned a chunky version of Chanel’s iconic logo-laden strands to the fashion house’s spring presentation. And couture darling Lady Gaga had a veritable chandelier hanging from her throat in the form of a weighty, diamond-encrusted bauble. Such high-impact and burdensome statements are likely not pain-free — these girls might want to add chiropractors to their holiday wish lists.

Extreme? I think not.....I love each and every one. I appreciate the fact that some women take it beyond the norm.
