Chunky jewelry comes in many different styles and materials. Many of the affordable chunky necklaces look similar to the more expensive versions, especially when brand new. The main difference is the quality of materials used and durability. For example, gem stones are grade B or C instead of the more expensive grade A and stringing material is plated instead of real gold.

Common materials for chunky necklaces are:

• Metal beads
• Gem stone beads
• Plastic beads
• Shells
• Resin
• Glass

The threading material is often silver plated, gold plated, sterling silver or nylon thread.

Types of chunky necklaces include:

• Mixed media: Mixed media chunky necklaces contain more than one material in the main design. For example, a necklace with a resin butterfly, a square glass bead, a brass circular bead and a gem stone bead is considered mixed media.
• Cluster of beads: Cluster bead necklaces contain several rows of large bead strings. Cluster bead necklaces generally create a beaded collar effect when worn. Tribal beads are also popular.
• Colorful shapes: Some necklaces contain various shapes such as circles, squares or triangles. The shapes are often painted plastic, metal or resin. A design may contain one shape or several different ones.
• Large symbols: Symbols are also a popular chunky jewelry design. Shapes of insects, animals or flowers are common in chunky necklace designs.

Chunky jewelry is an accessory that works well as a single piece of jewelry. If you plan to wear only one item of jewelry, a chunky necklace can sufficiently dress up an entire outfit.

• Plastic chunky necklaces are often too casual to wear with more formal attire like a black dress.
• Chunky necklaces work best with shirts with a scoop neck or a crew neck or strapless tops. Most chunky necklaces do not blend well with traditional blouses or turtlenecks.
