Necklaces according to necklines

1) Wear a drop pearl necklace or a solitaire pendant with V-neck Dress. This same piece will also work for crewneck tops and boat-neck.

2) A necklace that remains close to the neck compliments with off-the-shoulder necklines and strapless dresses. These necklaces can be combined with a short strand of pearls.

3) Combine an open-collar blouse with a chunkier and thicker piece of costume jewelry. Mix and match the earrings and belt with the color tones as in your necklace.

4) Go with long string of colorful beads with a jewel-neck or turtleneck sweater. Precious and semi-precious gemstones will work well with a thicker day look, whereas to bring a little glamour one can go for crystal.

5) If you are wearing a square-neck dress than one can accessories it with a pendant that hangs in long chain. Consider collarbones lengths necklaces.

6) For strapless gown you may wear strand of small glass beads, or choker made from crystals and gems. The only think that you should in mind is that the necklace should be under 18 inches so that you don’t clutter the neckline.
