If you love to follow fashion trends, you will know how popular statement necklaces have been all year. They are seen on all the red carpet runways by major Hollywood starlets. The first lady, Michelle Obama also seems to favor them, which seems to give their popularity a boost, it seems.
She is seen here wearing her latest aquisition, a chunky oendant design by Erickson Beamon, which accents her knee-length, draped halter dress from the Donna Karan Collection.
Joining her in the photo is Sarah Jessica Parker, also a lover of vintage jewelry, and Dr. Jill Biden. The first lady was speaking at a democratic fundraiser in New York earlier this week. 
I prefer festoon statement necklaces to the pendant styles, but this piece still is also lovely. What do you think of the look?
