Big, Bold and Back: The backward diamond necklace trend

Diamonds are the best options for a star accessory.  The backward necklace trend took to the forefront of fashion after the Oscars when Margaret Qualley wore a diamond pendant necklace backward. The Substance actor, channeling Hepburn, in a black Chanel dress with a plunging back used the necklace to create the perfect impact for her dress. The striking Chanel necklace had a crown diamond pendant with cascading ropes of diamonds stringing from it. Once made a fashion darling by none other than Princess Diana, they are the best way to style a low-back gown.

Michelle Yeoh wore a Boucheron diamond necklace backward with her Balenciaga blue gown.  The necklace had a sleek and contemporary diamond tie necklace.

For the premiere of her movie, The Gorge, Anya Taylor Joy was spotted in a sleeker version of the backward necklace trend.  She wore a platinum and diamond necklace with a Dior mini dress with wings.

Sabrina Carpenter also made the look memorable at the Grammys when she wore a Chopard diamond necklace along with her halter-neck blue gown.

Styling the backward diamond necklace is an art in itself.

Try a stand of diamonds that can drape down your back.  Ideally, a stunning central diamond pendant can keep the necklace comfortably styled.  You could alternatively, play with delicate diamond chains with a good visual interest, or even pair pearls and diamonds.  You can play around with necklace lengths, a shorter one if you want a subtle finish, and a longer, bolder one for an exciting one.
