From costume-like crystal arrangements to demure, delicate strands, the look and form of necklaces has changed a lot in recent years. The latest additions to the mix are pieces that celebrate artful irregularity, in both material and shape. Phillip Lim's bold pendants look like something crafted in a sculptor's studio. Aurélie Bidermann's 18k gold-plated necklace features a striking bit of lapis, and is named after the gallery world eccentric, Peggy Guggenheim. Marni and Trina Turk's impactful looks are given a boost by a luscious mix of hues. What's best about any of these off-beat beauties is that they can be worn with either simple garments or as part of a quirky ensemble. Time to get creative.

The vivid juxtaposition of a sterling silver and pink plexi pendant necklace tied into the vibrant nod to artists such as James Turrell at the fall 3.1 Phillip Lim show.
