How To Wear A Tusk Pendant

I have styled this Orange Ella Tusk Necklace via Shop Jami over and over again this year. I received it back in January and have not had enough of it ever since. At first look I didn't really think it would be as versatile as it has proven to be. 

P.S. While I am using this tusk pendant/necklace as an example you can essentially apply these same style tricks with any chunky-statement-making pendant.  Here

Well, this is where I am trying to 'match' the accessories with the outfit. Playing with metallics and orange here. It was an unexpected color combination but the risk paid off.

Here I am playing off the color of the bag and matching the pendant to my watch. I thought it brought the outfit together.
