Designer jewelry is the perfect finishing touch on an outfit, as long as you choose the right piece to complement it. When picking out a necklace, one of the factors to consider is the neckline of your blouse or dress. This guide from the custom jewelry artists at Somos Designer Jewelry Gallery in Rockland County, NY, will help you select the right pieces for every neckline in your wardrobe.

Pairing the Right Designer Jewelry With Your Neckline

1. V-Neck

The V-neck is one of the most versatile necklines to accessorize, but it coordinates especially well with a pendant against your otherwise bare decolletage. V-shaped pendants in particular complement this shape. Short pieces, such as decorative chains are another classic choice. Keep in mind that the end of the necklace will be the focal point, so the lower it hangs, the lower you will draw the eye.

2. Turtleneck

Turtlenecks pull a lot of focus upward, so wearing a longer necklace can balance the outfit. Long, slender chains anchored by large pendants lend an understated and elegant aesthetic. Turtlenecks made of thinner fabrics that don’t add much bulk can look fashion-forward when topped with a chunky statement necklace. However, a heavy turtleneck sweater paired with this kind of piece will likely be too much.

3. Crew Neck

Delicate, layered necklaces are a beautiful, elegant way to add some interest to your crew neckline without dominating the decolletage. A bib or collar necklace also adds a stylish, modern touch.

The right necklace will be the perfect finishing touch to your outfit, whether you are aiming for classic elegance or a bold, trendy style.
