Pamela Love, Vanessa Arizaga, and DANNIJO are great places to start looking at statement necklaces. These designers are usually handmade in studio. Then you've got Lanvin (always a winner), Oscar de la Renta, Marni (I love. Uses a lot of mixed media and doesn't just rely on hardware.)
I have statement necklaces from all of them and they are amazing. Some of my favourite are not labels - big or small - as such, but are indigenous to an area; my first and favourite is a very large Peruvian stone and sterling silver pendant on a cuff-like neck piece.
I mention the smaller brands first because you're more likely to find something a but more unique and therefore with a bit more longevity. HTH!
Hi,
I wanna see your statement necklaces so I can pick up some inspiration. I wanna buy statement necklaces, but right now I don't have them
David Yuman Willow Drop Necklace - this would be my statement necklace! It's beautiful in person and even beautiful when wearing it! Goes with everything - dress up or down, you can't go wrong!

No, unfortunately, haven't seen anything similar that cost less. Maybe if there's no diamonds, the price would be less. I'm already hinting for this necklace to hubby!I love this one! Have you seen any cheaper (but still nice) alternatives to achieve this "look"?
Love the pearls!!!Not sure what price range you're looking for, but here are some fun inexpensive options I've worn recently. This might be the way to go if you're experimenting. Then you can splurge once you find a style you love.
Chunky pearls are a staple in my wardrobe. These strands are from C. Wonder, and I twisted them to make it a choker. I have a similar necklace from J. Crew, but the pearls are smaller. I wear this look often, so I'm pretty certain I'll be splurging on the real deal soon. The 'happy' necklace is inspired by Lanvin. I of course loved the Lanvin original but didn't feel it was worth the investment for such a trendy piece.
This piece is by Leslie Danzis. It's a lot more colorful than what I normally wear, but I got it from TJ Maxx to test the waters. This brand carries lots of great statement necklaces for around ~$50 a piece. It's not a piece I reach for very often, so I'm glad I didn't splurge. But it is pretty fun when I do wear it.
Hope that helps!
