It's big. It's bold. It's sparkly. It's everywhere. It's statement jewelry. That's what we're talkin' about!

Giant gemstones are making a huge comeback this fall. They can be worn in the most obvious ways with evening wear. But tie on one of Balenciaga or Vera Wang's gorgeous sparklers with a tee shirt and jeans and you just upped your fashion ante tenfold.

Designers are making waves with deliciously decadent costume jewelry but the price tags of $1,000 are a bit lofty for some. But, if there is one accessory to purchase this season, it is a bold statement necklace so check out a mix of price ranges in the costume jewelry gallery.
